Overview

Meta-analysis shows cam morphology increases osteoarthritis risk in hips, indicating age and biological sex disparities.

Key Points

  • A 1.62 relative risk of developing radiographic hip osteoarthritis was found in hips with cam morphology.
  • Fitted three-level mixed-effects logistic regression model indicated significant associations with body mass index and biological sex.
  • Cam morphology and alpha angles were assessed across 23,886 hips from the World COACH consortium dataset.
  • Findings highlight the need for targeted prevention strategies in susceptible age and sex groups.
