Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Surgery - Arthroscopic surgical procedures

Active comparator: Hip arthroscopy surgical procedures (HIPARTI Study) - Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. Traction and joint access is controlled by fluoroscopy. A diagnostic round in the central and peripheral compartment is performed. Labrum, cartilage, and other possible conditions are looked for and findings are documented. Any labral, chondral and bony pathology (cam or pincer) is treated. Labrum may be debrided, sutured, detached and refixed if needed to treat a pincer lesion. Labrum is secured with suture anchors. Pincer and cam resection is performed using an arthroscopic burr. Cartilage lesions maybe left untreated or treated with debridement or microfracture.

Placebo comparator: Sham surgery (HIPARTI Study) - The same arthroscopic procedures as stated above are preformed, but no surgical interventions related to Cam, Pincer, or labral tear are performed, only diagnostic round in the central and peripheral compartment is performed. Labrum, cartilage, and other possible conditions are looked for and findings are documented.

Active comparator: Prospective Cohort (HARP Study) - Those that are not willing to be included in the RCT (HIPARTI Study), will be asked if they are willing to be included in the prospective cohort, or ongoing in countries were ONLY the surgery is performed (Australia). They will sign an informed concent and will undergo surgical interventions as part of usual care. Outcomes collected and follow-ups will be the same as for the RCT (HIPARTI).
