description Background/Objectives: Orthopedic hip surgery has undergone advances driven by innovations in surgical techniques and improved patient care protocols. The aim was to synthesize and appraise all studies relevant to hip surgery published in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy (KSSTA) in 2022–2023. Methods: The search included all studies published in KSSTA from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023. Quality assessment was performed using appropriate tools for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), non-RCTs, and systematic reviews. Due to the diverse nature of the included studies, a narrative synthesis approach was used. Results: A total of 33 primary studies were included in this narrative review, of which 10 were reviews (5 systematic reviews), 1 was an RCT, and 22 were non-RCTs. A total of 11 were from the UK, 10 studies were from the USA, and 5 were from Canada. Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) was investigated in a total of 23 studies, followed by hip micro-instability in 7 studies, dysplasia in 5 studies, and gluteal and hamstring tears in 4 studies. The RCT had a low risk of bias. Of the 22 non-RCTs, 16 had a low risk of bias, 5 had a moderate risk of bias, and 1 had a high risk of bias. All systematic reviews were of moderate quality. Conclusions: Hip arthroscopy is an effective treatment for FAI with promising early outcomes, especially when combined with closed capsular repair and appropriate rehabilitation. Surgeons should tailor their approach to capsular management to optimize recovery, as closed capsular repair may enhance functional outcomes. Additionally, preoperative tools like the HAR Index can help identify patients at higher risk of requiring hip arthroplasty after surgery. The conclusions of the included primary studies align with current general recommendations and contribute valuable insights to the field of hip orthopedics.
