57-year-old female with previous hip surgery We see no fluid-filled labral tear. The anterosuperior labrum is of mildly heterogeneous signal intensity, including a linear band of increased signal intensity that appears to disrupt the undersurface. We cannot determine whether this represents a new/recurrent labral tear or simply postoperative changes on this non-arthrographic study. The degree of labral tearing seen on the prior exam is not evident on the current study, compatible with interval surgery. Mild osteoarthritis affecting the hip appears similar to that seen on the prior study including cyst formation along the anterior margin of the acetabular dome with mild heterogeneity of the overlying articular cartilage. No frank CAM or pincher deformity is noted. The bone marrow signal is within normal limits. The left hip, pubic symphysis and SI joints appear normal on the large field-of-view images. Severe degenerative disk disease affects L4/5, the evaluation of which would be better on a dedicated lumbar spine MRI.
1. Although we see no fluid-filled labral tear, there is abnormal signal within the anterosuperior labrum as described above, which may represent a new/recurrent tear or simply postoperative change.2. Osteoarthritis as described above appearing similar to the prior exam.
