Abstract
The prevalence of abnormality on MRI of the hip is high in rugby players at 95% of study participants. The percentage reporting symptoms was lower at 65% of the cohort although this was significantly higher than (non-rugby) matched controls at 15% of participants. Rugby players demonstrated significantly reduced ROM of the hip compared to controls. Further prospective research is required to investigate the long term sequelae of these findings.
