Abstract
Abstract Introduction The utilization of hip preservation procedures to address femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS), hip labrum tears, and adult developmental hip dysplasia (DDH) has increased significantly over time. In conjunction, there is an increasing volume of research being conducted on hip preservation. Despite this, public interest in these pathologies and their surgical interventions has not been well characterized. This study was conducted to evaluate publish interest in FAIS, hip labrum tears, DDH, and their surgical interventions using Google Trends. We hypothesized public interest would increase over time for these conditions/procedures. Methods A retrospective longitudinal study from December 2015 – January 2026 was conducted utilizing Google Trends. The mean relative search volume [(RSV); ranging from 0-100, with 0 representing no public interest in a search term during the timeframe and 100 representing maximal public interest in a search term during the timeframe] was obtained for various hip preservation pathologies (“hip impingement”, “hip labral tear”, and “dysplasia of the hip”), along with public interest in procedures treating them (“hip impingement surgery”, “hip labrum surgery”, “hip dysplasia surgery”, “hip arthroscopy”). Statistical analysis comprised analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests, with statistical significance being set at a p-value<0.05. Results The mean RSV increased significantly over the last decade for “hip impingement” (2016: 40; 2025: 93; P < 0.001), “hip labral tear” (2016: 58; 2025: 94; P < 0.001), and “dysplasia of the hip” (2016: 35; 2025: 71; P < 0.001). Additionally, the mean RSV increased significantly for hip preservation procedures during the last decade including “hip impingement surgery” (2016: 49; 2025: 79; P < 0.001), “hip labrum surgery” (2016: 43; 2025: 91; P < 0.001), and “hip dysplasia surgery” (2016: 34; 2025: 48; P < 0.001). The mean RSV increased significantly during the last decade for “hip arthroscopy” (2016: 70; 2025: 87; P < 0.001). Conclusions Correlating with an increasing number of patients undergoing hip preservation procedures over time, there is increasing public interest in hip preservation pathologies and procedures during the past decade. As public interest in these conditions and procedures increases, the quality of virtual patient-education materials needed to be evaluated and optimized to facilitate patient-centered care.
