    Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is linked to hip pain and can result from abnormal morphology at the femoral head-neck junction.

  • 3

    High-impact sports during growth may predispose adolescents to cam morphological changes, increasing the risk of hip joint issues.

  • 4

    MRI examinations revealed a significant prevalence of cam morphology in young elite skiers, highlighting their risk for hip joint problems.

  • 5

    The study utilized standardized clinical examinations and MRI to assess hip joint changes in elite skiers, ensuring reliable measurements.
