| Abstract |
Studies have reported on the arthroscopic technique for release of external snapping hip syndrome. However, no study with large sample size has been reported for arthroscopic surgery. Patients with 229 bilateral and 19 unilateral external snapping hips were treated from January 2012 to June 2013. After locating the contracture position, arthroscopic surgery was performed accordingly. Preoperative and postoperative angles were compared. Comparing range of motion, all patients obtained higher adduction and flexion angles. At postoperative follow-up of 24 months, the adduction angle was improved from -14.4 ± 5.14 to 35.7 ± 4.21 for type I, from -31.2 ± 5.22 to 31.7 ± 2.84 for type II, from -49.0 ± 3.47 to 21.6 ± 3.43 for type III, and from -64.5 ± 4.65 to 18.3 ± 3.10 for type IV (P < 0.001). Similarly, the flexion angle was also significantly improved for all the four types (P < 0.001). Excellent ratio and satisfaction rate were good in types I and II. All the clinical features were cured after arthroscopic surgery. Arthroscopic surgery could be an effective procedure for external snapping hip, due to less operating time, small scar, fast postoperative recovery, and complete contracture release. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 June 2017.
All research outputs
#18,552,700
of 22,977,819 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#964
of 1,397 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#242,144
of 317,446 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#30
of 50 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,977,819 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,397 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 317,446 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 50 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
