We had the opportunity to read the article by Chinzei et al. [

The authors stated that the response to preoperative intra-articular injection may indicate the presence of intra-articular pathology and have predictive value to determine post-operative outcomes following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tear. We think this finding is of value for clinicians in decision-making. However, there are several concerns that need to be addressed. …
