Study of hip and groin injuries in competitive athletes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how common hip and groin injuries are in competitive athletes during their sports season, and how best to manage them. If you are an active athlete with hip impingement (FAI), you may be able to join and help improve care for athletes like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a competitive athlete (you train and compete in organized sports).
- You are between 14 and 40 years old.
- You have not had a serious hip, groin, knee, ankle, or foot injury in the last 6 months that caused you to miss over a month of sport.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant (because X-rays are involved).
- You have been diagnosed with FAI (hip impingement) without severe arthritis.

This study tests a new way to position patients during hip keyhole surgery to reduce injury to the groin area from pulling. If you are having hip arthroscopy for a condition called femoroacetabular impingement, this trial might help make your recovery smoother.
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.
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 develops and tests a new standardized procedure to assess hip and groin injuries in young competitive athletes. Researchers will evaluate whether a specialized testing program can help identify and prevent injuries in athletes aged 14–20.
This trial tests whether a program of education plus exercise can reduce long-term hip or groin pain. It may help by improving movement and function, especially when pain has lasted more than 3 months.
