In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

At present, it is not clear whether performing a hip arthroscopy at the same time as a PAO improves patient outcomes after surgery compared to a PAO alone. This research project will randomize patients to receive either a PAO alone, or a PAO and a hip arthroscopy at the same time.
