Chronic pain at lateral hip. Evaluate for gluteus medius tear. ACETABULAR LABRUM: Evaluation of the labrum is limited by lack of intra-articular contrast, but we see no fluid-filled labral tear. ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Bone marrow signal is within normal limits. There is perhaps a minimal CAM deformity of the anterior aspect of the right femoral head/neck junction but the alpha angle is within normal limits (<55 degrees). The articular cartilage of the right hip appears intact.SOFT TISSUES: The musculature appears normal. The gluteus tendons are intact. Specifically, there is no evidence of a gluteus medius tendon tear. Minimal peritrochanteric edema seen bilaterally is not necessarily of any clinical significance.ADDITIONAL
Minimal peritrochanteric edema bilaterally is not necessarily of any clinical significance. We see no gluteus medius tear or other specific findings to account for the patient's symptoms.
