EXAM: MR LOWER EXT JOINT WO CON RT
CLINICIAN'S HISTORY: right hip pain
HISTORY REPORTED TO TECHNOLOGIST: right hip pain, patient states she
fell 2-3 months ago at work, back pain
COMPARISON: None
Technique: Multiplanar multisequence MRI of the right hip was obtained
without the use of contrast.
Findings:
No evidence of fracture, dislocation or avascular necrosis. Mild
nonspecific irregularity of the superior labrum. Evaluation of the
labrum is somewhat limited without intra-articular contrast, no
convincing evidence of acute labral tear as visualized. No advanced
hip arthrosis or focal chondral defect.
Iliopsoas tendons and hamstring origins appear intact. Right
trochanteric bursitis is demonstrated. There is suggestion of mild
tendinosis of the distal gluteus minimus/medius tendons. Minimal edema
adjacent to the left hip greater trochanter.
Imaged intrapelvic structures demonstrate no acute abnormality as
visualized. Prominent perirectal fat. Partially visualized
postoperative changes of the lower lumbar spine.
Impression:
1. Right greater trochanteric bursitis. Mild tendinosis of the distal
right gluteus minimus/medius tendons.
2. No convincing evidence of additional internal derangement.

COMPARISON: MRI of the lumbar spine 7/7/2015 and plain radiographs of
the lumbar spine 11/20/2013 and CT scan of the lumbar spine 7/1/2014.
TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar multisequence imaging of the lumbar spine was
performed without and with the use of 90.5 mL of intravenous
gadolinium contrast.
FINDINGS: The terminal portion of the thoracic cord and conus
medullaris appears normal. The conus terminates at the level of L2.
The signal intensity of the vertebral bodies and sacrum is normal. The
visualized aspects of the kidneys and abdominal aorta and psoas
muscles appear within normal limits. There are no obvious
retroperitoneal masses. The paraspinal musculature is normal. The
sacroiliac joints appear within normal limits.
There is again seen transpedicular posterior fusion of L4 and L5.
At L1-L2, the disc, foramina and facets are normal.
At L2 -L3 the disc, foramina and facets are normal.
At L3-L4 there is some desiccation of the disc and mild broad-based
bulge of the annulus. There is no herniation. Orthopedic hardware
appears well-positioned. There is a laminectomy defect seen posterior
to L4 and L5.
At L4-L5, the the disc is normal. Thecal sac appears normal. The
postcontrast images show slight posterior epidural scarring but no
obvious residual or recurrent disc herniation. There are is a
interbody cage screw is seen at L4-L5, well-positioned.
At L5-S1 the disc is without bulge and appears unremarkable.
There are no compression fractures in this patient with history of
recent fall.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute findings in the lumbar spine or sacrum in this patient
with history of recent fall.
2. Anatomical alignment to L4-L5 posterior transpedicular fusion. The
cage screw and transpedicular hardware appears well-positioned.

Disc bulges are seen at several levels. Other than a few small
hemangiomas, the bone marrow signal is normal. The cord signal is
normal. The visualized portions of the brain are unremarkable.
On the axial images, the C2-3 level is normal.
At C3-4, a right lateral disc bulge causes moderate narrowing of the
right neural foramen. The left neural foramen and spinal canal are not
narrowed.
At C4-5, a right lateral disc bulge causes moderate to severe
narrowing of the right neural foramen. The left neural foramen is
mildly to moderately narrowed. The spinal canal is not narrowed.
At C5-6, bilateral disc osteophyte complexes cause moderate to severe
narrowing of both neural foramina. The spinal canal is mildly
narrowed. There is some mild effacement of the cord.
At C6-7, a left lateral disc bulge causes moderate to severe narrowing
of the left neural foramen. The right neural foramen is mildly to
moderately narrowed. The spinal canal is mildly to moderately
narrowed. There is some effacement of the cord.
The C7-T1 and T1-2 levels are unremarkable. No abnormal fluid
collections are seen. The visualized portions of the paraspinous
muscles are unremarkable.

Brief Answer:
I have explained the results
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthCareMagic.com I am Dr.J XXXXXXX Anto Bruno Mascarenhas. I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help you.
Let us See the results of your latest MRI
//No evidence of fracture, dislocation or avascular necrosis.//
This is good news. This means that there is no problem in your bones. Your Bones are fine
//Mild nonspecific irregularity of the superior labrum. Evaluation of the
labrum is somewhat limited without intra-articular contrast, no
convincing evidence of acute labral tear as visualized. No advanced
hip arthrosis or focal chondral defect.//
This again is good news. This says that your joint is Fine and you need not worry
//Iliopsoas tendons and hamstring origins appear intact. //
Good News Once Again
Your Tendons in the above muscles are Fine.
No Need to Worry
//Right trochanteric bursitis is demonstrated. //
This is the cause of your pain
Let me explain to you what this is
Bursas are fluid filled small pouches in your body. They are usually situated between a bony prominence and the skin. They help in avoiding your bone directly exerting pressure on your skin.
There are lots of such bursae in our body. One Such Bursae is between greater trochanter (this is a part of your thigh bone) and the Skin. In your Skin, this bursa on the right side is inflamed and it is this inflamed bursa which is causing pain.
So, when you walk, there is friction between this bursa, skin and bone and this leads to severe pain
//There is suggestion of mild tendinosis of the distal gluteus minimus/medius tendons. Minimal edema adjacent to the left hip greater trochanter.//
These are associated inflammations with the previous points
//Imaged intrapelvic structures demonstrate no acute abnormality as
visualized. Prominent perirectal fat. Partially visualized
postoperative changes of the lower lumbar spine.//
Again Good News
So
In Short
Your Bones are OK
Your Joints are OK
Most of your Muscles and Ligaments and Tendons are OK
Few Tendons are inflamed
One Bursa is inflamed
The treatment would be
1. Antibiotics
2. Analgesics
3. Strict Bed rest for few days
Please don't worry.
This is not a serious condition
This can be treated very very easily
Your Orthopaedician will be able to prescribe for you
Hope you found the answer helpful.
If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Best Wishes for Speedy Recovery
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.

convincing evidence of acute labral tear as visualized. No advanced
hip arthrosis or focal chondral defect.//
This again is good news. This says that your joint is Fine and you need not worry
//Iliopsoas tendons and hamstring origins appear intact. //
Good News Once Again
Your Tendons in the above muscles are Fine.
No Need to Worry
//Right trochanteric bursitis is demonstrated. //
This is the cause of your pain
Let me explain to you what this is
Bursas are fluid filled small pouches in your body. They are usually situated between a bony prominence and the skin. They help in avoiding your bone directly exerting pressure on your skin.
There are lots of such bursae in our body. One Such Bursae is between greater trochanter (this is a part of your thigh bone) and the Skin. In your Skin, this bursa on the right side is inflamed and it is this inflamed bursa which is causing pain.
So, when you walk, there is friction between this bursa, skin and bone and this leads to severe pain
//There is suggestion of mild tendinosis of the distal gluteus minimus/medius tendons. Minimal edema adjacent to the left hip greater trochanter.//
These are associated inflammations with the previous points
//Imaged intrapelvic structures demonstrate no acute abnormality as
visualized. Prominent perirectal fat. Partially visualized
postoperative changes of the lower lumbar spine.//
Again Good News
So
In Short
Your Bones are OK
Your Joints are OK
Most of your Muscles and Ligaments and Tendons are OK
Few Tendons are inflamed
One Bursa is inflamed
The treatment would be
1. Antibiotics
2. Analgesics
3. Strict Bed rest for few days
Please don't worry.
This is not a serious condition
This can be treated very very easily
Your Orthopaedician will be able to prescribe for you
