- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare the size and prevalence of bony hip morphology in football players with and without hip and/or groin pain. DESIGN: Case-control. METHODS: We recruited 184 soccer and Australian football players with self-reported hip and/or groin pain of greater than 6 months in duration and a positive flexion, adduction, and internal rotation (FADIR) test (290 hips, 21% women), and 55 football players with no pain and a negative FADIR test (110 hips, 26% women) as a control group. Bony hip morphology was identified by the alpha angle and lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) on anteroposterior pelvis and Dunn 45° radiographs. The alpha angle and LCEA were analyzed as continuous measures (size) and dichotomized using threshold values to determine the presence of bony hip morphology (cam, large cam, pincer, and acetabular dysplasia). Regression analyses estimated differences in the size and prevalence of bony hip morphology between football players with and without pain. RESULTS: In all football players and in men, the size and prevalence of bony hip morphology did not differ between those with and without hip and/or groin pain. Cam morphology was evident in 63% of hips in players without pain and 71% of symptomatic hips in players with hip and/or groin pain. In female football players with hip and/or groin pain compared to those without pain, larger alpha angle values were observed on the Dunn 45° view (5.9°; 95% confidence interval: 1.2°, 10.6°; P = .014). CONCLUSION: The size and prevalence of bony hip morphology appear to be similar in football players with and without hip and/or groin pain.
