Standing anterior pelvic tilt is correlated with the proximal femur shape of individuals with cam morphology
Patients with symptomatic impingement due to cam morphology may preemptively adopt less anterior pelvic tilt to enable functional hip range of motion. The associations between shape and standing posture may identify patients best suited for treatment involving pelvic posture modification. Results support further investigation of hip crossing muscle characteristics and spinopelvic alignment during dynamic activities to strengthen understanding of the underlying mechanisms responsible for symptoms in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.
