The association between cam morphology and hip pain in males and females within 10 years: A national prospective cohort study (CHECK)
Main finding · Presence of hip painResult — go to the resultAdjusted odds ratio 1.77 95% CI 1.01–3.09Authors' conclusion
Within this study, no consistent associations were found between cam morphology and hip pain at multiple follow-ups. There might be a weak relationship between cam morphology and hip pain in males, while no such relation was found in females. We did not identify an association between the alpha angle and severity of hip pain.
