Hip Arthroscopy After Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Current Review of Indications, Techniques, and Outcomes.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
purpose of reviewPersistent pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common complication requiring extensive diagnostic effort and is often associated with potentially invasive and morbid treatment options. With THA volume expected to steadily increase there is a similarly growing need for creative and effective diagnostic and therapeutic options for these clinically challenging patients. Hip arthroscopy has emerged as a promising tool in the setting of persistent pain after THA with expanding indications and promising outcomes. The purpose of this article was to provide a review of the current state of literature regarding arthroscopic and endoscopic solutions for common causes of persistent pain after THA with a focus on patient selection, indications, surgical considerations, outcomes, and complications. RECENT
findingsThe most common indication for hip arthroscopy after THA is iliopsoas tendinopathy, showing excellent outcomes with symptom resolution in greater than 90% of patients after arthroscopic iliopsoas release or lengthening. The second most common indication is diagnostic arthroscopy in the setting of otherwise negative extensive work-up, which has shown diagnostic value for occult implant loosening, capsular fibrosis, and metal hypersensitivity. Endoscopic decompression for the treatment of ischiofemoral impingement and sciatic nerve decompression has also shown consistent improvements in pain and function. In addition to these well described indications, future utilization of hip arthroscopy for loose body removal, capsular plication for instability, and management of prosthetic joint infection are potentially emerging indications. Hip arthroscopy after THA is a safe and effective tool for the management of common causes of persistent pain after THA with robust support for iliopsoas pathology and emerging evidence and outcomes for less common indications. Future research will both expand and narrow these indications as diagnostic criteria, patient selection, and surgical techniques are refined.
