    In the experience of a high-volume hip arthroscopic surgeon with a referral practice, a bimodal age distribution could be common. Younger patients presenting with symptomatic hip pathology recalcitrant to nonoperative management may seek or be referred to high-volume surgeons, and older patients absent significant osteoarthritis may also be surgical candidates. Lower-volume hip surgeons could have higher complication rates, and it is incumbent on higher-volume surgeons to train upcoming colleagues as hip arthroscopy continues to grow.
