76-year-old male patient status post fall with pain on right side with moving. Question of occult hip fracture. Some sequences are limited by patient motion artifact and the patient was not able to complete study. Given this limitation, we see the following findings:There is vertically oriented linear signal abnormality within the right greater trochanter indicating a nondisplaced fracture with edema extending from the fracture into the intertrochanteric region, but the lesser trochanter itself appears intact. Mild edema is noted in the adjacent soft tissues. Mild osteoarthritis affects the right hip with a small amount of fluid in the right hip joint. Please note this study was not protocoled for detailed evaluation of the labrum.Mild osteoarthritis affects the left hip. Degenerative arthritic changes affect the lower lumbar spine.
Non-displaced fracture of the greater trochanter of the right femur.
