Our understanding of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome is slowly improving. The number of studies on all aspects (etiology, prevalence, pathophysiology, natural history, treatment, and preventive measures) of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome has grown exponentially over the past few years. This commentary provides the latest updates on the prevalence of cam and pincer hip morphology and its relationship with development of hip osteoarthritis (OA). Cam and pincer morphology is highly prevalent in the general population and in this paper is presented for different subgroups based on age, sex, ethnicity, and athletic activity. Methodological issues in determining prevalence of abnormal hip morphology are also discussed. Cam morphology has been associated with development of hip OA, but the association between pincer morphology and hip OA is much less clear. Results from reviewed studies, as well as remaining gaps in literature on this topic, are critically discussed and put into perspective for the clinician.
