Prevalence of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and related hip morphologies, and its developmental dose–response relationship in professional female football players: a multicentre cohort study (PROFE)
In professional female football players, the prevalence of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome is low, whilst the prevalence of primary cam morphology is relatively high. The aetiology of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and primary cam morphology in female football players may not be solely driven by high load activity during skeletal maturation but is likely multifactorial and may differ from that in males.
