Cover Story: This study explores how patient age and preoperative symptom duration influence patient-reported outcomes following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. By comparing younger patients (18–30 years) with shorter symptom duration to older patients (≥40 years) with longer symptom duration, the authors identify meaningful differences in early clinical success. Younger patients with symptoms lasting less than one year were more likely to achieve an acceptable symptom state at two-year follow-up, while older patients experienced longer delays to surgery and demonstrated lower absolute outcome scores at both two- and five-year follow-ups. These findings emphasize the importance of early recognition and timely referral for hip arthroscopy and highlight how age and symptom duration together shape recovery trajectories after hip preservation surgery.
