Ice hockey players have a high rate of hip pathology, which can lead to hip arthroscopy. Previous studies have not utilized team-based advanced performance statistics in the setting of hip arthroscopy in National Hockey League (NHL) players.
PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this study was to use team-based advanced performance statistics to evaluate postoperative performance after hip arthroscopy in NHL players in comparison with their preoperative performance and matched controls of uninjured skaters. It was hypothesized that there would be no significant difference between preoperative and postoperative performance after hip arthroscopy in NHL players, as well as no difference when compared with matched controls of uninjured players.
Descriptive epidemiology study.
There were 56 eligible NHL players found through public records who underwent hip arthroscopy over 12 seasons. Team-based advanced performance statistics including icetime, Corsi, Fenwick, goal, and expected goal percentages were recorded for the preinjury season, index season, and first 2 years after return to play (RTP). Relative percentages of each statistic were collected to allow for intrateam comparisons. A control group of NHL players without injury was collected and matched 1:2 by age, years of play, and draft round.
The RTP rate after hip arthroscopy at the NHL level was 89% for 1 season and 70% for 2 seasons. There were no significant decreases in performance in any advanced statistics after RTP after hip arthroscopy in comparison with the preinjury season or versus a matched control group of uninjured players. There was a significant decrease in games played in the injury season and the first year after RTP versus the preinjury season and versus a matched control group without differences thereafter.
The RTP rate after hip arthroscopy at the NHL level was 89% for 1 season and 70% for 2 seasons. There were no significant decreases in team-based advanced performance statistics after RTP from hip arthroscopy for NHL players versus their preinjury levels or versus a matched control group of uninjured players. This indicates that NHL players who RTP at the NHL level are likely able to return to their previous level of performance, albeit playing in fewer games the first season after surgery.
冰球运动员髋关节病变发生率较高，这可能导致髋关节镜检查。以往的研究尚未在国家冰球联盟（NHL）球员髋关节镜检查的背景下使用基于球队的高级表现统计数据。
目的/假设：本研究的目的是使用基于球队的高级表现统计数据，评估NHL球员髋关节镜检查术后的表现，并与术前表现以及未受伤滑冰运动员的匹配对照组进行比较。研究假设是，NHL球员髋关节镜检查术后的术前和术后表现之间没有显著差异，与未受伤球员的匹配对照组相比也没有差异。
描述性流行病学研究。
通过公开记录发现有56名符合条件的NHL球员在12个赛季中接受了髋关节镜检查。记录了受伤前赛季、索引赛季以及回归比赛（RTP）后的前两年基于球队的高级表现统计数据，包括上场时间、科西统计、芬威克统计、进球数和预期进球百分比。收集每个统计数据的相对百分比以进行队内比较。收集了一组未受伤的NHL球员作为对照组，并按年龄、比赛年限和选秀轮次进行1:2匹配。
在NHL级别，髋关节镜检查后1个赛季的RTP率为89%，2个赛季为70%。与受伤前赛季相比，或与未受伤球员的匹配对照组相比，髋关节镜检查术后RTP后任何高级统计数据中的表现均无显著下降。与受伤前赛季相比，以及与未受伤的匹配对照组相比，受伤赛季和RTP后的第一年比赛场次显著减少，此后无差异。
在NHL级别，髋关节镜检查后1个赛季的RTP率为89%，2个赛季为70%。对于NHL球员，髋关节镜检查术后RTP后基于球队的高级表现统计数据与受伤前水平相比，或与未受伤球员的匹配对照组相比，均无显著下降。这表明在NHL级别实现RTP的NHL球员可能能够恢复到之前的表现水平，尽管术后第一个赛季的比赛场次会减少。
