Activity After Scope: Many activities can be resumed after a hip arthroscopy. In fact, professional football players, baseball players, and basketball players are returning to high level activity after this type of surgery.
The recovery can take a few months, and extensive physical therapy is required to make the best recovery, but returning to sports, including dance, is possible.

Likely yes: About 82% of pro athletes return to play at the same level as prior to a hip scope. The average time to return to play at the professional level for impact athletes varies but is usually about 4 months. Even patients requiring cartilage work during hip arthroscopy (microfracture) return to play at the rate of about 78%.

Usually very: Usually it is very successful with improvement in symptoms in over 90% of patients. About 85% of professional athletes can return to the same high level of play afterwards. This surgery requires a lot of physical therapy postop, and if a patient does not do his/her part afterwards, the results are less successful (scar tissue and tendonitis can occur which cause lingering pain).
