Left hip pain Osseous structures: The signal intensity of the bone marrow throughout the pelvis is normal. Mild osteoarthritis affects the hips bilaterally.Muscles: There is mild muscle atrophy which is commensurate for the patient's age. A more focal area of edema is noted within the fibers of the left gluteus maximus which is nonspecific in nature.Soft tissues: There is mild subcutaneous edema particularly posteriorly and to the right of midline. This is nonspecific in nature. There is also mild intermuscular edema bilaterally which is also nonspecific. A trace amount of free fluid is noted within the pelvis.Following contrast administration, there is no abnormal enhancement or evidence of enhancing mass.
Mild osteoarthritis of the hips with mild nonspecific soft tissue edema. Otherwise there are no specific findings to account for the patient's radiculopathy.
