Synopsis

Evaluating hip shape change with statistical shape models (SSMs) has been reported as a biomarker for OA incidence, progression and end-stage outcomes. However, there have been few MR studies using 3D SSMs for assessing proximal femur shape, encompassing the femoral head-neck region, in patients with conditions such as FAI. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first study to use focused shape models from 3D MR hip images to assess a focal region of (clinical) interest for cam morphology evaluation in patients classified as having an ‘inadequate’, ‘borderline’ or ‘satisfactory’ surgical outcome as determined from expert surgical review.
