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 study looks at how hip impingement affects walking. It may help doctors understand the link between symptoms and walking patterns before surgery.
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 trial tests whether injecting a concentrated sample of your own bone marrow during hip arthroscopy improves recovery for people with femoroacetabular impingement (a hip condition where bones rub). It compares outcomes to standard care alone.
This study uses a special 3D MRI to look at the hip joint in people who have torn their ACL. The goal is to see if a hip shape problem called femoroacetabular impingement (pinching in the hip) is linked to ACL tears.
This study helps doctors make better decisions about treating femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS)—a hip condition where bone shapes prevent normal movement. Researchers will use imaging and movement tests to understand which patients benefit most from physical therapy or other treatments.
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.
