    The systematic review identified clinically meaningful thresholds for patient-reported outcome measures after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.

  • 2

    Twenty-one studies involving 5,687 patients were included, with a low to moderate overall risk of bias.

  • 3

    The modified Harris Hip Score had an average minimal clinically important difference of 14.6 and a patient-acceptable symptom state of 70.7.

  • 4

    Variability in threshold values was noted due to different calculation methods used across studies, impacting interpretation.

  • 5

    The authors cautioned against applying these thresholds universally, emphasizing the need for context-specific interpretation.
