The purpose of this study is to determine whether crutch use for 4 weeks following hip arthroscopic surgery is superior to crutch use for 2 weeks following hip arthroscopic surgery. The primary objective of the study is to compare PRO scores between patients who have used crutches for 2 weeks and patients who have used crutches for 4 weeks.
This will be a single-center, randomized prospective study. The study will compare post-operative patient reported outcome (PRO) scores including the modified Harris hip score (mHHS) and the non arthritic hip score (NAHS), both are externally-validated surveys for hip function. One cohort will be assigned a rehabilitation regimen that includes 2 weeks of partial weight bearing on crutches, and the other will be assigned a regimen of 4 weeks of partial weight.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 weeks of partial weight bearing on crutches | Active Comparator | post-operative patient reported outcome (PRO) scores will be collected 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months post-operatively |
|
| 4 weeks of partial weight bearing on crutches | Active Comparator | post-operative patient reported outcome (PRO) scores will be collected 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months post-operatively |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 weeks of partial weight bearing on crutches | Other | Following surgery, patients will be instructed by their surgeon to use crutches for 2 weeks, and will follow-up normally, as any patient would. Their crutch use will not impact the quality or style of their postoperative care in any manner. At their 6-week, 6-month, 12-month, and 24 months postoperative visit, the mHHS and NAHS scores will be collected and stored in a secure data system, REDCAPS. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Change in patient-reported-outcome (PRO) survey | 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months post-operatively. | |
| Change in modified Harris hip score (mHHS) | 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months post-operatively. | |
| Change in Non arthritic hip score (NAHS) | 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months post-operatively |
