I’ve Recently Been Involved In A Serious Crash Wherein I

default
Posted on Tue, 12 Nov 2019
Question: I’ve recently been involved in a serious crash wherein I was transported to the ER. Following the crash, I had significant pain in my left hip pelvic area. I underwent a xray and my finds were: “small 3 mm well-corticated density inferior medial to the inferior left pubic ramus could relate to sequelae of remote injury.”

I have terrible left hip pain when walking and to alleviate I place most of my weight onto my right left. I have never experienced pain in my left hip or pelvic before. Would a MRI be better to diagnose what I’m suffering from?

Brief Answer:
Chips be an incidental finding

Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query.

This finding may be incidental ale could indicate previous muscle injury especially if you are an athlete or one who does high endurance training. Other possibility is avulsion of a tendon.

Yes, an MRI should give a better picture of this finding and also delineate the most possible cause of the pain which may be something else.

I hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Thanking you.

Kind regards,

Dr.Aashish Raghu
