Cam morphology predicts higher 4–8 year hip osteoarthritis risk

A large pooled analysis links a higher alpha angle on X-ray to later radiographic hip osteoarthritis, especially in men and people aged 51–60. Cam morphology on baseline hip radiographs was linked to higher odds of developing radiographic hip osteoarthritis within 4–8 years. Risk rose as the alpha angle increased, even beyond a single cut-off. The […]
