Data on suture anchor type, patient\u2010reported outcomes (including modified Harris Hip Score, Hip Outcome Score\u2010Activities of Daily Living, Hip Outcome Score\u2010Sport Specific Subscale, Visual Analog Scale, International Hip Outcome Tool\u201012), complications, and concomitant procedures were extracted.

All studies had a minimum of 12\u2010month follow\u2010up. Both knotless and knot\u2010tying suture anchors showed significant improvement across all measured patient\u2010reported outcomes (mean modified Harris Hip Score preop\u2010postop: knotless vs knot\u2010tying =61.0\u201084.8 vs 68.6\u201085.9; mean Hip Outcome Score\u2010Activities of Daily Living preop\u2010postop: knotless vs knot\u2010tying = 52.3\u201079.1 vs 51.4\u201077.7; mean Hip Outcome Score\u2010Sport Specific Subscale preop\u2010postop: knotless vs knot\u2010tying = 44.9\u201076.1 vs 49.3\u201077.9; mean Visual Analog Scale preop\u2010postop: knotless vs knot\u2010tying = 5.6\u20101.9 vs 5.6\u20101.9; mean International Hip Outcome Tool\u201012 preop\u2010postop: knotless vs knot\u2010tying = 35.4\u201077.2 vs 37.4\u201076.7). Across studies reporting patient\u2010level thresholds, high proportions of patients achieved clinically meaningful improvement, with minimal clinically important difference achievement ranging from approximately 74% to 100% and patient acceptable symptom state achievement ranging from 46% to 100% across outcome measures, with no consistent differences between knotless and knot\u2010tying anchor constructs. Complication, revision, and total hip arthroplasty conversion rates were low in both groups (revision rate range: knotless = 1.9%\u20106.8%, knot\u2010tying = 0%\u201012.8%; total hip arthroplasty conversion rate range: knotless = 2.6%\u20105.7%, knot\u2010tying =0.0%\u20104.7%). One study reported that postoperative synovitis was found in more patients in the knot\u2010tying group than in the knotless group (17 vs 5). In the included studies, there was risk of bias, including confounding bias (6\/8 studies) and selection bias (7\/8 studies).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Knotless and knot\u2010tying suture anchors are both safe and effective options for hip labral repairs with anticipated improvement in patient\u2010reported outcomes regardless of the anchor type used. Across studies reporting patient\u2010level thresholds, a high proportion of patients achieved minimal clinically important difference and patient acceptable symptom state, supporting the clinical relevance of postoperative improvement in both constructs.
