Cam-type hip morphology in asymptomatic patients

CONCLUSIONS: Cam-type morphology prevalence is high among asymptomatic males, and mostly pronounced at the 1 o'clock position. A correlation between high alpha angle and positive impingement test or labral tear was not found in our cohort. Future studies are required to determine the natural history of asymptomatic cam-type morphology and risk of hip derangement.PMID:38263909 | DOI:10.1177/11207000231225184
