Right hip pain Note that the exam is significantly limited given the presence of a total hip arthroplasty.There is no obvious underlying bony destruction. There is a large amount of soft tissue and muscle edema about the right hip reflecting recent surgical intervention. Within the posterior soft tissues of the hip is a 5.1 cm fluid collection which appears to communicate with the joint (postcontrast image 14/26 on series 8). An additional small collection is seen within the gluteal musculature (image 21/26 on series 8).
Significantly limited exam secondary to metallic artifact. There is a nonspecific fluid collection within the posterior soft tissues which appears to communicate with the joint itself end is likely postoperative in nature. Additional postoperative findings described above.
