    Cam morphology is characterized by extra bone formation at the femoral head-neck junction and increases the risk of hip osteoarthritis.

  • 2

    The study investigates the relationship between clinical and radiological hip parameters and the presence of cam morphology over a 5-year period.

  • 3

    Findings suggest that hip parameters do not precede but develop simultaneously with cam morphology during growth.

  • 4

    The study included 89 adolescent male football players, with follow-ups at 2.5 and 5 years to assess changes in hip morphology.

  • 5

    Cam morphology was quantified using the alpha angle, with a presence defined as an angle ≥ 60° in radiographic assessments.
