Recent surgery on left hip. Pain in the right hip. Rule out fracture. Components of a left total hip arthroplasty device are situated in near-anatomic alignment, although the distal extent of the prosthesis is not included on the field-of-view of this study.I see no fracture.The bones appear demineralized, suggesting osteopenia. The lateral margin of the right femoral head is slightly indistinct, which I suspect simply reflects the patient's underlying osteopenia/osteoporosis; however if the patient has a known primary malignancy, then I would recommend CT or MRI for further evaluation to exclude an unusual metastatic focus.Mild degenerative arthritis affects the pubic symphysis. Degenerative arthritic changes also affect the visualized lower lumbar spine.
