    Patients aged 70 and older do not have a high risk of progressive osteoarthritis after arthroscopic femoroacetabular impingement correction.

  • 2

    Previous studies indicated that older patients often experience poorer clinical outcomes and higher rates of total hip arthroplasty after FAI surgery.

  • 3

    The study aimed to identify predictors of poor postoperative outcomes in older patients undergoing arthroscopic treatment for FAI.

  • 4

    Patients with preserved joint space greater than 2 mm may have favorable outcomes following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.

  • 5

    The study included 84 patients with a follow-up rate of 85.7%, focusing on the effects of age on clinical outcomes after surgery.
