Reason: eval for midshaft femur fx History: thigh pain for 6 weeks with running There is patchy red marrow in the left femur which is within normal limits. There is minimal increased edema type signal within the proximal femoral diaphysis on the left, when compared to the right, as seen on the large field-of-view STIR images suggesting a mild stress reaction. There is also mild focal thickening of the medial femoral cortex at this level with a 6 mm linear focus of intermediate signal intensity and minimal increased signal intensity adjacent to the periosteum on the fluid sensitive sequences. The remainder of the femur is normal in appearance. The musculature of the thigh is normal.
Stress reaction/fracture of the proximal femoral diaphysis with very mild edema.
