The 'American Journal of Sports Medicine', the world most renowned journal in the area of sports orthopaedic medicine, published in its November edition the research of a multidisciplinary team led by radiologist Vasco Mascarenhas and orthopaedist Paulo Rego, both from Hospital da Luz Lisboa, dedicated to the establishment of morphologic factors predictive of hip problems.

The normative values obtained through magnetic resonance serve as reference for the early detection of disease situations and the prompt definition of the most adequate healthcare. For this research work, 372 healthy subjects were considered and 176 with joint pain, the team having characterized 548 hips.
