* According to presence of intraoperative osteoarthritis (articular cartilage degeneration C Grade 1); rim cartilage degeneration (rim lesion C Grade 3); *three patients are missing osteoarthritis grade; two patients are missing rim lesion grade; values are expressed as mean, with SD in parentheses; §change = 12-month score – preoperative score; values are expressed as mean, with p value and 95% CI in parentheses; MHHS = modified Harris hip score; scores range from 0 to 100.1, with higher scores indicating optimal outcome; NAHS = nonarthritic hip score; scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating optimal outcome.
