"There is a significantly higher prevalence of cam morphology in athletes compared to non-athletes. Cam morphology is more common in males than in females."
"Cam morphology itself can be and remain asymptomatic or can cause clinical signs and symptoms as typical motion or position-dependent hip or groin pain and is then referred to as femoroacetabular impingement 1,2. A painfully decreased range of motion during hip flexion, internal rotation and adduction, locking and stiffness are also described."
"loss of sphericity, flattening or a bump at the femoral head-neck junction, often found in the anterosuperior location"
