This anatomical relationship suggests that local muscle morphology may be associated with symptomatic hip pathology. The present study investigated the association between iliopsoas cross-sectional area at the psoas valley, adjacent osseous morphology, and surgically treated symptomatic hip-pathologies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this retrospective case\u2013control study, 92 adult patients who underwent hip arthroscopy between 2019 and 2024 and had preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging were compared with 50 age- and sex-matched controls without documented hip pain who had CT scans obtained for non-hip-related indications. Three-dimensional CT reconstructions were used to measure retroinguinal and psoas-valley morphometric parameters, including iliopsoas crosssectional area at the level of the psoas valley. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for age and body mass index was performed for variables that differed between groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The groups did not differ significantly in age, sex, body mass index, or side. The lacuna musculorum ratio was higher in the surgical cohort than in controls (0.5\u2009\u00b1\u20090.1 vs. 0.4\u2009\u00b1\u20090.1; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Iliopsoas cross-sectional area at the psoas valley was smaller in the surgical cohort (12.5\u2009\u00b1\u20093.2 cm2 vs. 13.7\u2009\u00b1\u20092.8 cm2; p\u2009=\u20090.025). In multivariable analysis, a higher lacuna musculorum ratio (OR:1.094, 95% CI 1.026\u20131.167; p\u2009=\u20090.006) and a smaller iliopsoas cross-sectional area (OR:0.998, 95% CI 0.996\u20131.000; p\u2009=\u20090.039) remained associated with membership in the surgically treated cohort.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Smaller iliopsoas cross-sectional area at the psoas valley was more often associated with surgically treated hip pathologies.
