Best Practice Case Studies-Hip Stress Fracture

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A 25-year-old male weightlifter with right hip pain showed a stress fracture in the femoral neck on MRI. Initial imaging for suspected hip stress fractures is radiographs, though they may miss subtle signs. MRI confirms stress fractures with edema and sclerosis. Another patient had a CAM-type femoral acetabular impingement, identified through bony abnormalities on radiographs. For labral tears, MR-rheography is used. The labrum should be evaluated in various imaging sequences for tears, indicated by increased signal intensity. These imaging techniques help diagnose musculoskeletal conditions like stress fractures and labral tears accurately.
