39-year-old female with groin pain with running for 5 months. Evaluate for stress fracture. There is mild intramedullary edema along the inferomedial aspect of the femoral neck indicating a stress reaction. We see no discrete fracture line at this time. The remaining bone marrow is unremarkable. There is no joint effusion. Although the study was not protocoled for detailed evaluation of the acetabular labrum, there is thin linear intermediate signal intensity traversing the superior labrum compatible with a tear, although the clinical significance of this tear is uncertain. We see no morphologic abnormalities of the hip. The right hip appears normal on the large field of view images, as do the sacroiliac joints and lower lumbar spine. The visualized musculature is within normal limits.
1. Stress reaction of the left femoral neck without discrete fracture line at this time.2. Acetabular labral tear of uncertain clinical significance.
