- 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.

- 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.

- Purpose Evidence-based facts regarding spinal abnormalities and back pain in young athletes are needed in order to be able to adapt rehabilitation programs and preventive measures accordingly. The aim of this study was therefore to identify MRI changes in the thoracolumbar spine and the lifetime prevalence of back pain in young football players compared to non-athletes. Methods Young elite football players (n = 27) and non-athletes (n = 26) completed MRI examinations of the thoracolumbar spine. MRI images were evaluated for disk signal, height, bulging, herniation, Schmorl's nodes, spondylolisthesis, and vertebral wedging. All participants answered questionnaires regarding training hours and back pain. Results Disk degenerative changes were more commonly displayed by 89% of the football players compared to 54% of the controls (P = .006). Schmorl's nodes (22%), disk herniation (30%), and reduced disk height (37%) were more prevalent in football players compared to controls (0%) (P = .023 and P = .001, respectively). The lifetime prevalence of back pain was reported by 52% of football players and 44% of controls, a difference that was not statistically significant. Conclusion Young male football (soccer) players have more degenerative disk changes compared to non-athletes. Both groups displayed high lifetime prevalence of back pain.
