Hip impingement study: comparing men with and without symptoms
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial looks at how a CAM-type hip impingement (a bump on the ball of the hip joint) affects hip movement and stress. It compares men with and without symptoms to understand what causes pain and how to prevent future hip problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 21 and 35 years old.
- You do not have hip arthritis or a 'pincer' type of impingement (extra bone on the socket side).
- You may have a CAM bump (extra bone on the ball of the hip) with or without hip pain.
- You have not had hip surgery or a hip injury that changes your hip shape.

This trial looks at how well hip-preserving surgery works for people who need hip surgery. It may help your care team understand what outcomes to expect after this type of operation.
This study uses MRI scans to compare the shape of the hip joint in people with an ACL tear versus those without. The goal is to see if certain hip conditions are more common in people with ACL tears, which may help future injury prevention and treatment.
This study tests whether injecting a concentrated sample of your own bone marrow during hip arthroscopy improves outcomes for people with hip impingement. The injection may help your hip heal better after surgery.
This study looks at how doctors make decisions about treating hip impingement (FAIS) in young adults. If you join, you'll be part of a study that may help improve care for others with similar hip problems.
This study follows people before and after hip arthroscopy to treat femoroacetabular impingement (a condition where the hip bones pinch together). It measures strength, mobility, and daily function to see how recovery progresses over 6 months.
This study measures how your hip moves (the “mechanics”) using clinical exams and imaging. It may help researchers understand hip movement problems in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) before major joint damage develops.
