First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study followed 130 people aged 35 or younger with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a condition where hip bones rub together, causing cartilage damage and pain. Researchers used MRI scans over five years to track cartilage wear and identify which patients benefit most from surgery versus non-surgical care. The goal is to create a treatment guide for doctors, not to test a new therapy.
