    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between pincer morphology and radiographic hip osteoarthritis (RHOA) over 2, 5, 8, and 10 years' follow-up and to study the interaction between pincer morphology and pain. METHODS: Individuals from the prospective Cohort Hip and Cohort Knee study were drawn. Anteroposterior pelvic and false profile radiographs were obtained. Hips free of definite RHOA (Kellgren and Lawrence [KL] grade 0 or 1) at baseline were included. Pincer morphology was defined as a lateral or anterior center edge angle or both ≥40° at baseline. Incident RHOA was defined as KL ≥ 2 or total hip replacement at follow-up. Multivariable logistic regression with generalized estimating equations estimated the associations at follow-up. Associations were expressed as unadjusted odds ratios (ORs) and adjusted ORs with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). An interaction term was added to investigate whether pincer morphology had a different effect on symptomatic hips. RESULTS: Incident RHOA developed in 69 hips (5%) at 2 years' follow-up, in 178 hips (14%) at 5 years' follow-up, in 279 hips (24%) at 8 years' follow-up, and in 495 hips (42%) at 10 years' follow-up. No significant associations were found between pincer morphology and incident RHOA (adjusted OR 0.35 [95% CI 0.06-2.15]; adjusted OR 1.50 [95% CI 0.94-2.38]). Significant interactions between pain and anterior pincer morphology in predicting incident RHOA were found at 5, 8, and 10 years' follow-up (OR 1.97 [95% CI 1.03-3.78]; OR 3.41 [95% CI 1.35-8.61]). CONCLUSION: No associations were found between radiographic pincer morphology and incident RHOA at any follow-up moment. Anteriorly located pincer morphology with hip pain, however, was significantly associated with incident RHOA. This highlights the importance of studying symptoms and hip morphology simultaneously.
