Question: I have just had a MRI done on both hips, I see a orthapedic surgeon later this week, I want to get some sort of an understanding on the results, (left hip) mild offset of the femoral head/neck junction with very shallow superolateral dysplastic bone bump. 8mm cyst identified in the subcortical bone in this region.
Partial thickness tear at the chondrolabral junction extending along lateral labrum from anterosuperior and posterosuperior margin.
There is heterogeneity in signal of the gluteus minimums tendon in keeping with tendons is and there is peritendinous oedema as well. Prominent fluid in the sub sluteus minimums bursa, low grade XXXXXXX surface tearing of the distal insertional fibers. Mild enthesopathec change underlying this noted. Minimal signal abnormality comparable with tendonopathy of the gluteus mediums with out tear, mild oedema in the trochanteric burial region. The iliotibial tract is unremarkable.
(right hip) mild right femoral head/neck junction decentring with shallow superolateral dysplastic bone bump. An extensive tear extending along the chondrolabral junction acetabulum labrum from anterosuperior to posterosuperior. Enthesopathec changes are present at the gluteus minimus intention as well as tendinous and peritendinous oedema. Low grade interstitial tearing is present as well as sub gluteus minimus bursitis. Mild tendonopathy of the hamstring origin is noted. Minimal trochanteric burial oedema.
What does all this mean?????
