What is the prevalence of extra-articular and intra-articular magnetic resonance imaging findings in football players with and without hip and/or groin pain? A cross-sectional study of 166 football players

Our study found that prevalence of extra- and intra-articular hip MRI findings did not differ between football players with and without HGP. Football players with and without pain were likely to have multiple imaging findings in 1 hip. A thorough history and clinical examination should be used to contextualise any imaging findings.

Abstract

Our study found that prevalence of extra- and intra-articular hip MRI findings did not differ between football players with and without HGP. Football players with and without pain were likely to have multiple imaging findings in 1 hip. A thorough history and clinical examination should be used to contextualise any imaging findings.
