Future perspectives High-level sports activity during growth may be a new and distinct risk factor for a cam-type deformity. Further research needed. Radiographic markers and values associated with FAI are not established in the paediatric population Composite scoring system: Clinical and radiological markers Further studies in the paediatric population are required Genetic aspects
