However, there is significant heterogeneity and lack of standardization of RTS definitions across the literature, limiting meaningful comparison across studies. At long\u2010term follow\u2010up, patterns of sports participation, performance expectations, and physical capacity evolve, and traditional binary RTS definitions may not adequately capture the quality or durability of athletic participation. Recent evidence suggests that although more than 80% of athletes may continue to participate in sport at long\u2010term follow\u2010up after hip arthroscopy, participation occurs across a spectrum ranging from unlimited pain\u2010free activity to modified participation or continued play despite persistent symptoms. Persistent hip pain, followed by new injuries to a separate body region or lifestyle changes, remains the primary reason for inability to sustain long\u2010term sport participation. In contrast, continued sports participation, particularly at a pain\u2010free level, represents a key determinant of patient satisfaction and is closely associated with achieving a patient acceptable symptom state at long\u2010term follow\u2010up. Ultimately, RTS as a binary outcome may overestimate true recovery and fail to reflect clinically meaningful long\u2010term outcomes in this population. Using more precise RTS definitions that evaluate continued participation and integrate level of competition with sport\u2010 and sex\u2010specific considerations are essential to better define long\u2010term success following hip arthroscopy in athletes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/arj.70217","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,11]],"date-time":"2026-05-11T11:08:42Z","timestamp":1778497722000},"page":"1661-1663","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["<i>Editorial Commentary<\/i>\n                    : Return to Sport Is Not the Finish Line: Raising the Bar for Long\u2010Term Outcomes After Hip Arthroscopy in Athletes"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Jay","family":"Moran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yale School of Medicine  New Haven Connecticut U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7979-6536","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew E.","family":"Jimenez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yale School of Medicine  New Haven Connecticut U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465221123060"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465221114400"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465211055175"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465221092762"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2021.11.053"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/arj.70078"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465251393258"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2025.08.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2325967120952990"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2018-099154"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546520956292"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/arj.70216"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2024.12.032"}],"container-title":["Arthroscopy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/arthroscopyjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/arj.70217","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/arthroscopyjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1002\/arj.70217","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/arthroscopyjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/arj.70217","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,25]],"date-time":"2026-08-25T16:07:43Z","timestamp":1787674063000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/arthroscopyjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/arj.70217"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,11]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/arj.70217"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/arj.70217","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0749-8063","1526-3231"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0749-8063","type":"print"},{"value":"1526-3231","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,11]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2026-05-11","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
