    Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a significant cause of hip pain and is linked to hip osteoarthritis.

  • 2

    Hip arthroscopy with iliofemoral ligament preservation is a minimally invasive treatment for FAI.

  • 3

    Gait speed is a critical indicator of recovery following hip arthroscopy, with early postoperative kinetics influencing outcomes.

  • 4

    The study included 35 patients diagnosed with FAI who underwent hip arthroscopy and were assessed preoperatively and at 1 and 6 months postoperatively.

  • 5

    Pelvic jerk metrics measured at 1 month postoperatively may correlate with gait speed recovery at 6 months.
