49 year-old female with left thigh cramping, evaluate for muscle injury The musculature of the thigh appears normal. There is mild edema and enhancement along the lateral aspect of the greater trochanter. Although this exam was not protocoled for detailed evaluation of the gluteal tendons, the gluteal minimus tendon appears mildly thickened and there is surrounding signal abnormality, suggesting tendinosis or perhaps partial thickness tearing; the current clinical significance of this finding is uncertain, however.Chronic osteonecrosis affects the left and right femoral heads, appearing similar to the prior exam. There is no associated edema, subchondral fracture or subchondral collapse. A small focus of fluid signal intensity along the posteromedial distal femur may represent a small ganglion. Mild osteoarthritis affects both hips.
No specific finding to account for the patient's left thigh cramping. Other findings as above.
