(IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). Categorical variables were analyzed using the chi-square
test or Fisher exact test, as appropriate, and continuous variables were
compared using Student t tests. Unadjusted survival analysis
was performed using Kaplan-Meier curves, and comparisons were calculated using
the log-rank test. We performed adjusted survival analysis with Cox proportional
hazard models, adjusting for all variables that were significantly different
between treatment groups at baseline (abrasion chondroplasty, acetabuloplasty,
age, BMI, radiographic FAI) or those presumed to be predictive of conversion to
THA (Tönnis grade and Outerbridge grade). All reported P values
were 2-tailed, with the level of significance set at α = .05.
