Lived experiences of individuals with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome: a qualitative investigation.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDespite the increasing rate of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS), very little research has examined the lived experiences of individuals scheduled to undergo hip arthroscopy for FAIS. This study aimed to understand the experiences of individuals aged 18 and older with a planned hip arthroscopy for FAIS and to present the findings through their voices. Understanding the lived experiences of patients with FAIS may inform the development of preoperative preparation programs that meet the needs of this growing population.
methodsWe conducted 12 semi-structured telephone interviews with individuals aged 18 and older with FAIS (women = 9, men = 3, age = 39 ± 18.8 years). All participants were scheduled for a hip arthroscopy for FAIS within 30 days of the interview. Interviews were conducted between March 2023 and February 2024. Data were analyzed using the methods of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding.
resultsWe identified eight themes during data analysis, which we divided into three categories: impact of hip condition (chronic pain, emotional and mental well-being, activities of daily living), views toward surgery and the rehabilitation process (optimism, pessimism), and perceived facilitators to recovery following hip arthroscopy (information gathering, preparation for surgery, social support).
conclusionsOur results support the need for interventions that promote social, emotional, and mental well-being in individuals with a planned hip arthroscopy for FAIS. Preoperative preparation programs that seek to provide comprehensive emotional and cognitive preparation for hip arthroscopy for FAIS and recovery from surgery may be warranted.
