A member asked:
How common is it have a cam impingement in both hips?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Very common: Cam, or cam-pincer impingement, is very common bilaterally, and is due to a combination of factors including genetics and the type of activity a person engages in (e.g., in bicycling a person uses both legs to do the activity).

Very possible: Process is not exclusive to one or the other. Is generally an anatomic issue.
