  Objective: The incidence of hip arthroscopy procedures has recently increased, current trends demonstrating a wide geographical variation and relatively similar functional outcomes among a wide age range. We aimed to evaluate spatio-temporal trends in state variation of hip arthroscopy procedures as well as the rate and determinants of 90-day hospital revisits.Methods: This was a secondary spatiotemporal analysis of data on hip arthroscopy procedures from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project databases, including the State Inpatient Database (SID), the State Ambulatory Surgery Database and the State Emergency Department Database (SEDD) for Florida, Kentucky, and Maryland, spanning a total of six years (2009 - 2014). Revisit risk was only evaluated through Florida data.Results: Out of 4,085 patients, the mean age was .. View More»
