Comparison is made to previous MRI 4/5/16.
There is irregularity of the labrum suggesting previous surgery/degenerative tearing with a superimposed high signal cleft suggesting a recurrent tear.
There is mild hip synovitis.
Mild thinning of acetabular cartilage anterosuperiorly is noted as previously without demonstrated progression.
There is narrowing of the ischiofemoral distance without quadratic femoris oedema or atrophy.
Comment:
1. Suggestion of a recurrent anterosuperior labral tear, of indeterminate significance in relation to the patient's pain.
2. Mild hip synovitis.
3. No demonstrated fracture or other bone lesion.
4. Mild anterosuperior acetabular chondral thinning without demonstrated progression.
