Reason: Patient w/ R. Hip and groin pain X 1 wk, please evaluate for dislocation/ fracture History: As above On the AP view, there is a step-off of the cortex along the medial aspect of the femoral head/neck junction. The underlying trabeculae do not appear disrupted and this is not clearly evident on the frog-leg lateral view. We suspect this represents a peculiar osteophyte, but if there is strong clinical concern for an acute fracture, MRI could be considered.
