Prevalence of Pincer Morphology in Early Adolescents From the General Population: A Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Pincer morphology can lead to femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and may be a modifiable risk factor for hip osteoarthritis (OA). Currently, no studies investigate the prevalence of pincer morphology in early adolescence, which is the period when this bony shape likely develops. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence and birth-assigned sex distribution of pincer morphology in early adolescents from the general population in the Netherlands.

Methods
