CREST: Capsular Repair During Hip Arthroscopy (NCT03372564)
CREST: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Inter-portal Hip Capsular Repair vs. No Repair Following Hip Arthroscopy
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Capsular REpair randomiSed controlled Trial (CREST) is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial with a sample size of 240 patients (120 patients in each group). The primary outcome measure is functional outcome as measured by the change in Hip Outcome Score at 6 months with secondary outcomes being hip range of motion, i-HOT 12, overall satisfaction, and VAS. Patients are stratified based on gender. Patients, outcome assessors, and data analysts are blinded to surgical allocation. Using an intention-to-treat approach, outcome analyses will be performed using an analysis of covariance and descriptive statistics.
