Limited research exists on the possible association between duration of symptoms and clinical outcomes following hip arthroscopy for labral tears. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether duration of symptoms affected clinical and patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores following hip arthroscopy for labral tears. From 2008 to 2011, data were collected prospectively on all patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy for labral tears. Workers' compensation cases, dysplasia cases and patients with previous ipsilateral hip surgeries were excluded. A total of 738 patients were identified with a minimum of 2-year follow-up, and clinical and PRO data were available for 680 patients. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the relationship between duration of symptoms along with other variables and PROs. Overall, patients experienced significant improvements in all clinical and PRO scores. Results of univariate analysis revealed that all PROs were negatively associated with increasing Log 10 months of symptoms as were pain and satisfaction scores. During multivariate analyses, increasing Log 10 months of symptoms, age, body mass index and trauma were all negatively associated with PROs ( P  &lt; 0.05). Our study demonstrates that clinical and PRO scores were negatively associated with increasing duration of symptoms prior to hip arthroscopy for treatment of labral tears. Although this implies that delay in treatment may adversely affect outcome, conservative treatment remains the gold standard first line of treatment. Surgeons should incorporate this information into their treatment algorithm to maximize patient outcomes following treatment for labral tears. Level of evidence : Level IV, prospective case series.
