Article Synopsis
- Existing 2D methods for measuring physeal changes related to cam morphology have limitations due to reliance on the radiographic view, making accurate assessments challenging.
- To overcome these limitations, new 3D methods using MRI scans were developed that provide a consistent way to analyze growth plate shape without being affected by imaging angles.
- In a study involving adolescents aged 9-16, the 3D method revealed age-related differences in growth plate shape among recreationally active males, but no significant differences were found between those at risk for cam morphology and their peers.
