Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Prevalence of cam morphology.
Secondary outcome
Secundary study parameters:
- Hip related radiological features, measured on radiographs (e.g. neck-shaft
angle, epiphyseal extension, lateral centre edge angle, early signs of hip
osteoarthritis)
- Radiological features of the os pubis region
- Associate cam morphology with hip range of motion, hip muscle strength, hip
provocation-testing, palpation of clinical hip and groin entities, functional
outcomes and symptomatology and quality of life
- Hip and groin related injury burden
Background summary
Limited evidence is available about radiological and clinical hip and groin
related outcomes in professional female football. Hip and groin related
injuries are highly prevalent in male football players. Hip morphology, for
example cam morphology, plays an important role in hip and groin injuries. In
some studies, cam morphology is associated with limited range of motion and
increased risk of progression to hip osteoarthritis, whereas the association
with hip-related groin symptoms remained inconclusive. These type of studies
are lacking in females.
Study objective
1. To determine the prevalence of cam morphology in a sample of professional
female football players.
2. To determine the prevalence of other hip related radiological features (e.g.
neck-shaft angle, epiphyseal extension, lateral centre edge angle and early
signs of hip osteoarthritis).
3. To evaluate the radiological features of the os pubis region.
4. To associate cam morphology with hip range of motion, hip muscle strength,
hip provocation testing, palpation of clinical hip and groin entities,
functional outcomes and symptomatology and quality of life.
5. To determine hip and groin related injury burden.
Study design
Prospective cohort study with initially a cross-sectional design (multicentre
study), with future intention to follow-up the participants.
Study burden and risks
One visit to the local hospital for completion of questionnaires (45 minutes),
to undergo a physical examination including hip muscle strength and range of
motion measurements (45 minutes) and to obtain radiographs of hip and pelvis
(30 minutes). This visit will take approximately 2 hours in total per person.
Radiographs of the pelvis and frog-leg lateral view per hip will result in a
total of 0.8mSv radiation. Participants may benefit if they receive information
about the current osseous state of their hip joint, their hip muscle strength
and they can get insight in their current symptoms. As they are all
professional football players, information about their hip joint and hip muscle
strength can be valuable and add possibilities for injury preventative
strategies in the future.
