Figure 4 Logistic regression analysis of clinical factors. Odds ratio (OR) > 1 indicates that the variable might be a protective factor; OR < 1 indicates that the variable might be a risk factor. BMI: Body mass index.

Figure 5 Logistic regression analysis of hip anatomy factors. Odds ratio (OR) > 1 indicates that the variable might be a protective factor; OR < 1 indicates that the variable might be a risk factor. AASA: Anterior acetabular sector angle; AVcen: Acetabular anteversion of the center of the acetabulum; AVsup: Acetabular anteversion of the superior acetabulum; IIA: Inferior iliac angle; IPA: Ischiopubic angle; NSA: Neck-shaft angle; PASA: Posterior acetabular sector angle; SASA: Superior acetabular sector angle.
