57-year-old male with hip pain. Evaluate for labral tear Patient motion artifact results in slightly suboptimal image quality.ACETABULAR LABRUM: There is linear increased signal abnormality transit traversing the anterior superior acetabular labrum extending from the 9 o'clock position to 11 o'clock position consistent with a tear.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is near full-thickness articular cartilage degeneration along the superior aspect of the acetabulum. There is increased signal abnormality within the superior left acetabulum and superior lateral femoral head/neck, likely degenerative in etiology. Mild osteoarthritic changes affect the left hip. There is osteophyte formation resulting in prominence of the anterior aspect of the left femoral head/neck junction consistent with a small CAM deformity. The alpha angle measures approximately 56 degrees.SOFT TISSUES: The imaged musculature of the left hip is normal in appearance. The bladder is incompletely distended limiting evaluation. Metallic susceptibility artifact from a lower lumbar spinal fixation device limits evaluation of the lower lumbar spine. There is increased signal abnormality within the paraspinal musculature which is nonspecific.ADDITIONAL
Small CAM deformity and left hip osteoarthritic changes with associated acetabular labral tear as described above. Other findings as described above.
