Need Suggestions For 'Cortical Sclerosis' & 'Sub-cortical Cyst'
The findings of my X-Ray: There are osteoarthritic changes of the femoral head with marginal osteophyte formation. There is cortical sclerosis with subcortical cyst formation of the acetabulum. There is moderate articular joint space narrowing.
I have a general idea of what this means, but the 'cortical sclerosis' and 'subcortical cyst' are unclear to me.
