- Background: Radiologically verified cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been shown to correlate with reduced internal rotation, reduced passive hip flexion, and a positive anterior impingement test. Purpose: To validate how a clinical examination of the hip joint correlates with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-verified cam deformity in adolescents. Methods: The sample group consisted of 102 adolescents with the mean age 17.7 +/- 1.4 years. The hip joints were examined using MRI for measurements of the presence of cam (alpha-angle >55) and clinically for range of motion (ROM) in both supine and sitting positions. The participants were divided into a cam and a noncam group based on the results of the MRI examination. Passive hip flexion, internal rotation, anterior impingement, and the FABER (flexion, abduction, and external rotation) test were used to test both hips in the supine position. With the participant sitting, the internal/external rotation of the hip joint was measured in 3 different positions of the pelvis (neutral, maximum anteversion, and retroversion) and lumbar spine (neutral, maximum extension, and flexion). Results: Differences were found between the cam and noncam groups in terms of the anterior impingement test (right, P = .010; left, P = .006), passive supine hip flexion (right: mean, 5; cam, 117; noncam, 122 [P = .05]; and left: mean, 8.5; cam, 116; noncam, 124.5 [P = .001]), supine internal rotation (right: mean, 4.9; cam, 24; noncam, 29 [P = .022]; and left: mean, 4.8; cam, 26; noncam, 31 [P = .028]), sitting internal rotation with the pelvis and lumbar spine in neutral (right: mean, 7.95; cam, 29; noncam, 37 [P = .001]; and left: mean, 6.5; cam, 31.5; noncam, 38 [P = .006]), maximum anteversion of the pelvis and extension of the lumbar spine (right: mean, 5.2; cam, 20; noncam, 25 [P = .004]; and left: mean, 5.85; cam, 20.5; noncam, 26.4 [P = .004]), and maximum retroversion of the pelvis and flexion of the spine (right: mean, 8.4; cam, 32.5; noncam, 41 [P = .001]; and left: mean, 6.2; cam, 36; noncam, 42.3 [P = .012]). The cam group had reduced ROM compared with the noncam group in all clinical ROM measures. Conclusion: The presence of cam deformity on MRI correlates with reduced internal rotation in the supine and sitting positions, passive supine hip flexion, and the impingement test in adolescents.

- Background: Current knowledge of the effect of changes in posture and the way cam morphology of the hip joint may affect hip range of motion (ROM) is limited. Purpose: To determine the effect of changes in pelvic tilt (PT) on hip ROM and with/without the presence of cam. Materials and methods: The hip ROM of 87 subjects (n=61 young elite skiers, n=26 nonathletes) was examined using a goniometer, in three different seated postures (flexed, neutral, and extended). The hips of the subjects were further subgrouped into cam and no-cam morphology, based on the magnetic resonance imaging findings in the hips. Results: There was a significant correlation between the hip ROM and the seated posture in both extended and flexed postures compared with the neutral posture. There was a significant decrease in internal hip rotation when the subjects sat with an extended posture with maximum anterior PT (p<0.0001). There was a significant increase in internal hip rotation when the subjects sat with a flexed posture with maximum posterior PT (p<0.001). External rotation was significantly decreased in an extended posture with maximum anterior PT (p<0.0001), but there was no difference in flexed posture with maximum posterior PT. The hips with cam morphology had reduced internal hip rotation in all three positions, but they responded to the changes in position in a similar manner to hips without cam morphology. Conclusion: Dynamic changes in PT significantly influence hip ROM in young people, independent of cam or no-cam morphology.

- Purpose To investigate the prevalence of cam morphology in (1) a group of young elite Mogul and Alpine skiers compared with non-athletes and (2) between the sexes. Method The hip joints of 87 subjects [n = 61 young elite skiers (29 females and 32 males) and n = 26 non-athletes (17 females and 9 males)] were examined using MRI, for measurements of the presence of cam morphology (alpha-angle >= 55). Results The skiers had a significantly higher prevalence of cam morphology compared with the non-athletes (49% vs 19%, p = 0.009). A significant difference (p < 0.001) was also found between females and males, where 22% of the females and 61% of the males had cam morphology. Among the skiers, there was also a significant difference (p < 0.001) between the sexes, where 28% of the females and 68% of the males had cam morphology. This difference between the sexes was not found in the non-athletic group. No significant differences were found between Mogul and Alpine skiers. Conclusion Young male elite skiers have a higher prevalence of cam morphology of the hips compared with non-athletes.

- To investigate the prevalence between back and hip pain in young Elite skiers. Sample group (n = 102), consisted of young Elite skiers (n = 75) and age-matched non-athletes (n = 27), all completed a three-part back and hip pain questionnaire, Oswestry Disability Index and EuroQoL to evaluate general health, activity level, back and hip pain prevalence. No significant differences were shown for lifetime prevalence of back pain in the skiers (50%) compared with controls (44%) (n.s.). Duration of back pain for the skiers showed (30%) > 1 year, whilst (46%) > 5 years. A significant difference was shown with increased Visual Analogue Scale back pain levels for skiers 5.3 (SD 3.1) compared with controls 2.4 (SD 1.9, p = 0.025). No significant differences were shown for lifetime prevalence of hip pain in skiers (21%) compared with controls (8%) (n.s.). Young Elite skiers are shown not to have increased lifetime prevalence for back and hip pain compared with a non-athletic control group.

- Introduction: The spino-pelvic complex in humans helps to maintain an upright posture, by balancing the spinal sagittal alignment with the hip joints and pelvic girdle. The extent of how the hip joint may influence the spino-pelvic alignment is not fully understood. Hip joint cam femoro-acetabular impingement is a common source of hip and groin disability in young athletes and has been linked to abnormal joint morphology from repetitive loading of the proximal femoral head abutting against the acetabulum. The aim of this study was to compare the radiological parameters of spino-pelvic sagittal alignment and spinal types according to Roussouly’s classification in relation to hip joint cam femoro-acetabular impingement. Methods: The sample group (n=102), mean age (17.7 ± 1.4) years, consisted of elite skiers (n=75) and nonathletes (n=27). Hip joints were examined for increased morphological cam deformity, (alpha angle greater than 55o) with Magnetic Resonance Imaging and standing lateral plain radiographs were taken for measurements of the spinopelvic sagittal alignment. Results: A significant difference was shown in a mixed population (skiers and non-athletes) for an increased Pelvic Tilt angle (13°, SD 10.2) in the presence of morphological hip joint cam deformity compared with participants without cam deformity (8.5°, SD 7.1, P=0.036). Type II Roussouly spines occurred more frequently in skiers in the presence of increased cam (67%) compared with no cam (33%), however, this was not significant (P=0.19). Secondary findings highlighted significant differences shown for the prevalence of cam in a mixed-population for gender; males 60% (n=26) shown to have significantly more cam deformity compared with females 22% (n=10, P=0.001). Similar for height, with taller participants being shown to have significantly more cam deformity >177cm (SD 7.6) compared with no cam deformity <170 cm (SD 7.5, P=0.001). Conclusion: A significant difference was shown with an increased Pelvic Tilt angle for an age-matched mixedgroup of elite skiers and non-athletes in the presence of increased morphological hip joint cam type femoro-acetabular impingement. Moreover, Elite skiers were shown to have an increased distribution of spinal Type II classification according to Roussouly in the presence of an increased frequency of cam femoro-acetabular impingement.

- Validation of the Debrunner Kyphometer as a clinical non-radiological method for investigating spinal sagittal alignment was compared with standing lateral radiographs. The sample group (n=102) consisted of elite Alpine skiers (n=75) and a non-athletic population (n=27), mean age 17.7 (±1.4) years. Non-radiological and radiological measurements of the spinal sagittal kyphosis and lordosis range of motion were carried out in the erect standing position. Thoracic kyphosis measurements comparing the Debrunner Kyphometer with a radiological standard, showed a good level of agreement and a statistical significance (ICC 0.67, 95% CI: 0.26 to 0.83, p<0.001). Lumbar lordosis measurements showed poor levels of agreement in spite of being statistically significant (ICC 0.33, 95% CI: 0.13 to 0.50, p=0.001). There was no significant difference reported in the spinal alignment between skiers and controls using both radiological and non-radiological methods. Therefore, we conclude that due to the large variation in ranges between both methods, there is a limited value in using the Debrunner Kyphometer as a non-invasive method for the evaluation of spinal sagittal alignment.
