Summary
This study follows 201 teens aged 12-14 over two years to see if focusing on a single sport early affects hip development and leads to a condition called femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), where hip bones rub together. Participants have MRI scans and fill out questionnaires to track hip health. The goal is to understand how sports activity influences hip problems and to find ways to prevent them later in life.
