*Cam morphology associations:
- With symptoms unclear
- Limited ROM (IR and flexion)?
*Pincer morphology: global or focal
- Several measurements
- Heterogeneous definitions and cut-off values: prevalence unsure

Implementation normal values ‘in my opinion’ (2/2)
- Motivates players for extra training adductors
- Monitor progression rehab and treatment effect
- Creates sport-, gender- and level specific values
- RTP values in future?
- However: group-based values, not individual
