53-year-old female with recent left greater trochanter lesion on prior plain radiograph. There is mild edema adjacent to the lateral component of the left gluteus medius tendon at its insertion on the left greater trochanter. There is also edema and a small focus of fluid adjacent to the distal gluteus minimus tendon, and although a portion of the tendon can be followed to its insertion on the greater trochanter, we suspect there is an incomplete tear of the distal gluteus minimus tendon. There is mild surface irregularity of the underlying greater trochanter, likely representing chronic enthesopathic changes that we suspect account for the lucency seen on recent radiographs. We see no intramedullary lesion to indicate bone tumor.There is edema in the musculature between the left ischium and proximal femur that may reflect strain injury or chronic ischiofemoral impingement, although the ischiofemoral distance appears relatively normal. The hamstrings tendons appear normal.There is a small amount of fluid along the left iliopsoas tendon suggesting a mild bursitis of questionable clinical significance. A small amount of fluid is visualized within the left hip joint, but no significant effusion is present. Very mild osteoarthritis affects the left hip, better seen on recent radiographs. Please note this study was not protocoled for detailed evaluation of the labrum. On the right, there is mild peritrochanteric edema which is not necessarily of any clinical significance
1. Incomplete insertional tear of the left gluteus minimus tendon with mild peritrochanteric edema.2. We see no evidence of bone tumor.3. Other findings as described above.
