The purpose of this single-blinded (assessor) randomized trial is to compare patient-reported, clinical and functional outcomes in patients randomized to weight-bearing as tolerated (WBAT) or partial weight-bearing (PWB) restrictions following arthroscopic surgery for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) up to 12-months postoperative. The primary objective is to compare the effects of WBAT or PWB restrictions on PROMS (International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT33)) and clinical measures following arthroscopic intervention for FAI up to one-year post-operative. The secondary objective will be to assess differences in return to sport (RTS) PROMS, functional performance, and lower extremity kinetics, kinematics, and muscle activity during in patients randomized to either WBAT or PWB at six- and 12-months post-operative. The goal will be to answer if there are differences between a WBAT versus PWB rehabilitation protocol on patient-reported quality of life as measured by the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT33) at 12-m post-operative for patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy for the treatment of FAI.
