Forty-seven soccer players who underwent pelvic MRI for complaints unrelated to the pelvis and had no current groin pain were recruited. A control group of 114 non-athletes was retrospectively identified from the PACS database. These individuals had undergone pelvic MRI primarily for low back pain or other indications and were asymptomatic for hip and groin pain at the time of imaging. MRI examinations were independently reviewed by two musculoskeletal radiologists blinded to clinical data and group allocation. Interobserver agreement was assessed for all variables.
