Abstract
OBJECTIVE A cam-type deformity drastically increases the risk of hip osteoarthritis (OA). Since this type of skeletal anomaly is more prevalent among young active adults, it is hypothesized that the loading conditions experienced during certain types of vigorous physical activities stimulates formation of cam-type deformity. We further hypothesize that the growth plate shape modulates the influence of mechanical factors on the development of cam-type deformity. DESIGN We used finite element (FE) models of the proximal femur with an open growth plate to study whether mechanical factors could explain the development of cam-type deformity in adolescents. Four different loading conditions (representing different types of physical activities) and three different levels of growth plate extension towards the femoral neck were considered. Mechanical stimuli at the tissue level were calculated by means of the osteogenic index (OI) for all loading conditions and growth plate shape variations. RESULTS Loading conditions and growth plate shape influence the distribution of OI in hips with an open growth plate, thereby driving the development of cam-type deformity. In particular, specific types of loads experienced during physical activities and a larger growth plate extension towards the femoral neck increase the chance of cam-type deformity. CONCLUSIONS Specific loading patterns seem to stimulate the development of cam-type deformity by modifying the distribution of the mechanical stimulus. This is in line with recent clinical studies and reveals mechanobiological mechanisms that trigger the development of cam-type deformity. Avoiding these loading patterns during skeletal growth might be a potential preventative strategy for future hip OA.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of our study was to analyse the prevalence of femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) in national elite track and field athletes compared to peers using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical examination including impingement tests. METHODS A total of 44 participants (22 national elite track and field athletes and 22 non-athletes) underwent an MRI for radiological findings associated with FAI, including alpha angle, lateral centre edge angle (CEA), findings of labral and cartilage lesions. The study group was furthermore investigated by the hip outcome score (HOS) and a clinical hip examination including range of motion (ROM) and impingement tests. RESULTS Concerning the cam impingement, there was a significant difference measured by mean alpha angle between the athlete group (52.2 ± 7.29°) and the control group (48.1 ± 5.45°, P = 0.004). Eleven athletes showed a cam impingement, while two probands of the control group had a pincer impingement and one a mixed form (P = 0.0217). There was no statistically significant difference concerning the CEA upon evaluating pincer impingement. Seven track and field athletes had a positive impingement test, whereof three had an increased alpha angle >55°. No participant of the control group showed pathological results in the impingement test (P = 0.0121). CONCLUSIONS MRI evidence and clinical examination suggest that cam impingement is more common in elite athletes in comparison to non-athletes. At a professional level, the intense practice of track and field athletics is susceptible for FAI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Specific patterns of developmental adaptation of the proximal femur have been recognized in some sports. Gymnastics are characterized by repetitive axial loading and hip rotations in combination with extreme hip positions. It is unknown how and if these forces can affect an immature skeleton in the long term. We sought to evaluate this, by means of magnetic resonance imaging of the hip and groin of such elite asymptomatic athletes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a case-control comparative MR imaging study of both hips and groin of 12 (7 male, 5 female) skeletally mature young (mean age 18.6 years) asymptomatic international level gymnasts with a minimum of 10 years' training with age-matched non-athletes. At the time of recruitment, none of the athletes had a recorded musculoskeletal complaint or injury in the anatomical area around the hip. RESULTS The study showed that elite gymnasts share four common morphological characteristics on MRI that deviate from normal and are considered to be the result of adaptational changes to the specific sport: high centre-column-diaphysis angle (coxa valga140° on average), ligamentum teres hypertrophy, friction of the iliotibial band with oedema surrounding the greater trochanter, and a high incidence (62.5 %) of radiological appearances of ischiofemoral impingement. CONCLUSION Our study showed that elite gymnasts share four common morphological characteristics on MRI that deviate from normal. These findings were in asymptomatic subjects; hence, radiologists and sports physicians should be aware of them in order to avoid unnecessary treatment.

Abstract
Slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE) is one of the known causes of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of FAI cases considered to be secondary to SUFE-like deformities. We performed a case–control study on 96 hips (75 patients: mean age 38 years (15.4 to 63.5)) that had been surgically treated for FAI between July 2005 and May 2011. Three independent observers measured the lateral view head–neck index (LVHNI) to detect any SUFE-like deformity on lateral hip radiographs taken in 45° flexion, 45° abduction and 30° external rotation. A control group of 108 healthy hips in 54 patients was included for comparison (mean age 36.5 years (24.3 to 53.9). The impingement group had a mean LVHNI of 7.6% (16.7% to -2%) versus 3.2% in the control group (10.8% to -3%) (p < 0.001). A total of 42 hips (43.7%) had an index value > 9% in the impingement group versus only six hips (5.5%) in the control group (p < 0.001). The impingement group had a mean α angle of 73.9° (96.2° to 53.4°) versus 48.2° (65° to 37°) in the control group (p < 0.001). Our results suggest that SUFE is one of the primary aetiological factors for cam-type FAI. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2014; 96-B:724–9.

Abstract
Background: Repetitive tensile stresses from valgus torque can induce elbow injury in adolescent baseball players. Insufficient hip range of motion (ROM) can change throwing mechanics, reducing the transfer of energy from the lower to the upper extremities. Thus, hip ROM limitations may force the upper extremities to bear the burden of a strong throw. Improper pitching mechanics caused by insufficient hip ROM are thought to increase valgus torque on the elbow when throwing, increasing the risk of elbow injury. Purpose: To investigate the relationship between elbow pain and hip ROM in adolescent baseball players. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 122 adolescent baseball players with a mean age of 12.0 years (range, 6-14 years) participated in this study. Elbow pain, hip flexion angle, and the internal rotation angles of the hip at 0° and 90° of flexion were assessed. Participants were divided into a pain group and a normal group based on the pain assessment, and each hip angle was compared between groups using Student t tests. P values <.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Thirty-one of 122 players had elbow pain. The hip flexion angle of the trail leg was 121.9° ± 12.3° for the normal group and 111.2° ± 11.3° for the pain group (P = .0001). The plant leg hip flexion angles were 122.0° ± 12.4° and 113.6° ± 11.3° (P = .0014) for the normal and pain groups, respectively. The internal rotation angle at 0° of hip flexion of the trail leg was 49.4° ± 12.6° and 45.6° ± 8.8° (not significant), and of the plant leg was 49.1° ± 12.5° and 48.7° ± 11.5° (not significant), for the normal and pain groups, respectively. The internal rotation of the trail leg at 90° of hip flexion was 46.9° ± 13.3° in the normal group and 36.1° ± 15.7° in the pain group (P = .0005). In the plant leg, the internal rotation angle at 90° of hip flexion was 46.9° ± 12.2° and 36.4° ± 18.1° for the normal and pain groups, respectively (P = .0013). Conclusion: Limitations to hip flexion and internal rotation at 90° of hip flexion were risk factors for elbow injury. Differences in internal rotation angles between 0° and 90° of hip flexion may be important criteria for identifying adolescent baseball players at risk of elbow pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A cam deformity is a major risk factor for hip osteoarthritis, and its formation is thought to be influenced by high-impact sporting activities during growth. PURPOSE To (1) prospectively study whether a cam deformity can evolve over time in adolescents and whether its formation only occurs during skeletal maturation and (2) examine whether clinical or radiographic features can predict the formation of a cam deformity. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study (prognosis); Level of evidence, 2. METHODS Preprofessional soccer players (N = 63; mean age, 14.43 years; range, 12-19 years) participated both at baseline and follow-up (mean follow-up, 2.4 ± 0.06 years). At both time points, standardized anteroposterior and frog-leg lateral radiographs were obtained. For each hip, the α angle was measured, and the anterosuperior head-neck junction was classified by a 3-point visual system as normal, flattened, or having a prominence. Differences between baseline and follow-up values for the α angle and the prevalence of each visual hip classification were calculated. Additionally, the amount of internal hip rotation, growth plate extension into the neck, and neck shaft angle were determined. RESULTS Overall, there was a significant increase in the prevalence of a cam deformity during follow-up. In boys aged 12 and 13 years at baseline, the prevalence of a flattened head-neck junction increased significantly during follow-up (13.6% to 50.0%; P = .002). In all hips with an open growth plate at baseline, the prevalence of a prominence increased from 2.1% to 17.7% (P = .002). After closure of the proximal femoral growth plate, there was no significant increase in the prevalence or increase in severity of a cam deformity. The α angle increased significantly from 59.4° at baseline to 61.3° at follow-up (P = .018). The amount of growth plate extension was significantly associated with the α angle and hip classification (P = .001). A small neck shaft angle and limited internal rotation were associated with cam deformities and could also significantly predict the formation of cam deformities (α angle >60°) at follow-up. CONCLUSION In youth soccer players, cam deformities gradually develop during skeletal maturation and are probably stable from the time of growth plate closure. The formation of a cam deformity might be prevented by adjusting athletic activities during a small period of skeletal growth, which will have a major effect on the prevalence of hip osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Context: Several risk factors may cause femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Knowledge of causation would identify patients for early intervention, prior to the development of painful intra-articular damage. Data Sources: PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and related article reference lists were screened for relevant studies published between January 2000 and December 2013. Study Selection: Inclusion criteria were (1) etiology of FAI, (2) original FAI clinical data, and (3) English language. Case reports of fewer than 3 patients were excluded. Study Design: Systematic review. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Results: In all, 754 studies were screened, with 18 meeting the eligibility criteria. There were 13 comparative observational studies and 5 case series. The studies pertained to intrinsic patient factors (n = 2), activity/developmental factors (n = 8), hip disease (n = 5), postsurgical changes (n = 2), and malunion after hip fracture (n = 1). Conclusion: A combination of intrinsic patient and developmental factors, activities involving repetitive hip motion, pediatric hip disease, and hip-related surgical procedures may contribute to the development of FAI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The rate of osteoarthritis of the hip secondary to slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a subject of debate, and its frequency is underestimated in particular because of subclinical forms that may not be diagnosed during childhood. HYPOTHESIS The frequency of radiographic anomalies subsequent to SCFE in adults requiring hip arthroplasty is higher than that reported in recent studies (6% to 15%). MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective single-center epidemiological radiography study was performed by one observer. Hip X-rays of patients who were being treated by arthroplasty for advanced hip osteoarthritis between January 2010 and May 2012 were analyzed. The etiology of osteoarthritis was classified in each patient according to the data obtained (primary, SCFE, dysplasia, protrusio acetabuli, other). The lateral view head-neck index (LVHNI) was used to quantify posterior translation of the femoral head, and identify SCFE sequelae. RESULTS One hundred and eighty-six hips were included. Osteoarthritis was considered primary in 51 patients (27.4%), secondary to dysplasia in 42 (22.5%), protrusio acetabuli in 38 (20.5%) or another disease in nine (4.9%) while 46 hips (24.7%) presented a radiographic image suggesting SCFE past history. SCFE type deformities were the primary etiology of osteoarthritis in patients less than 60years old (30/84 or 35.7%). The mean age of patients in the SCFE group was 56.2years old (26-80) compared to 66 (54-91) for the primary osteoarthritis group (P<0.0001). The mean LVHNI was 13% (9-24%) in the SFCE group, the mean body mass index was 27.1kg/m(2) (±3.5; 18.2-35.4) in the SFCE group and the male to female ratio was 7.3/1. CONCLUSION Our study identified a population with a morphological SCFE type anomaly of the coxofemoral joint (LVHNI>9%), which results in the development of earlier osteoarthritis than that found in the rest of the population. SCFE is more common than reported in the literature because it is the first etiology of osteoarthritis of the hip in subjects less than 60years old. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) deformities have been associated with early osteoarthritic degeneration of the hip. Degeneration depends on many factors such as joint morphology and dynamics of motion. Bone mineral density (BMD) appears to be a manifestation of the above, and may be a potentiator. Thus the goal of this study was to assess subchondral BMD of cam deformities in symptomatic and asymptomatic FAI subjects, and to compare to normal controls. METHODS Subjects undergoing surgical correction of a symptomatic cam-type deformity were recruited ("Surgical"). Asymptomatic volunteers were also recruited and classified as normal ("Control") or having a deformity ("Bump") based on their alpha angle measurement. All subjects (n = 12 per group) underwent computed tomography (CT) with a calibration phantom. BMD was determined in volumes of interest around the femoral head and neck to a depth of 5 mm. BMD was compared between groups in each section using spine BMD as a covariate. RESULTS No differences were seen between groups in the peripheral bearing surface. The Bump group exhibited higher BMD than Controls within the head/neck junction (P < 0.05). When compared to normal subchondral bone in the peripheral level of Controls, BMD in the deformity was up to 78% higher in Bump subjects and up to 47% higher in Surgical subjects (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Subchondral BMD of cam deformities is higher than that of normal subchondral bone in the peripheral region of the femoral head, regardless of symptom status. The expected increased subchondral stiffness may increase contact stresses in the joint tissues leading to accelerated degeneration.
