182884 tn?1259312906 femoral head articulates appropriatly with the acetabulum. The region of luceny seen n superior aspect of femoral head is due to some reactive subcortical sclerosis. There is articular cartilage thinning in this location but no focal osteochondral defect. No evidence of avascular necrosis. There is also some irregularity of the supeerior fibrous labrum and some articular cartiildge thinning in the superior aspect of the acetabulum. Trace amount of joint fluid is noted.
Avatar f tn 9 145lbs, Caucasian/South Asian Male I was diagnosed with having level 4 stress fractures in both of my femoral necks and level 2 stress fractures in each of my ankles, in November of 2016, I was near the end of basic training and due to what I'm assuming was these sprint exercises we did on the track, followed by shuttle sprints and then an 8 mile ruck ended up hurting me pretty bad. I was put on crutches and calcium pills until they were able to do all of the necessary tests.
Avatar n tn Recently, an X-ray showed that her femoral head was about 25% larger than that of normal children. The doctors that treated her for DDH said that the location of her hip was normal. But some other doctors said the enlarged femoral head could slip out of the socket, thus causing hip dislocation. These doctors strongly suggest surgery, which worries my family very much. The child is still very active and shows no signs of pain or discomfort during movement. Her hip never dislocated.
Avatar f tn 0cm parameniscal cyst extending inferiorly along the medial margin of the proximal tibial metaphysis. Osteoarthritis most prominently involving the medial and lateral tibia-femoral compartments with mild subchondral reactice bone marrow edema and early subchondral cystic change, and Pes Anserine bursitis.
Avatar n tn Slightly less marked osteoarthritis joint space narrowing is also noted with small marginal osteophytes. Both Knees: slight joint space narrowing.
1378884 tn?1315505845 There is also chondromalacia predominantly along posterior and superior aspect of the femoral head with irregularity of the articular cartilage. No intra-articular loose bodies are identified, allowing for some intra-articular air which was apparently administered at the time of injection. Continued...
1116556 tn?1345115906 I am sorry to hear about your medical problems. You must explore other causes of your symptoms as femoral torsion is not so common in adults and yes, usually needs surgery followed by extensive physiotherapy.
Avatar n tn Glucosamine supplements are widely used for osteoarthritis, particularly knee osteoarthritis. In osteoarthritis, cartilage -- the rubbery material that cushions joints -- becomes stiff and loses its elasticity. This makes the joint prone to damage and may lead to pain, swelling, loss of movement, and further deterioration.
Avatar f tn There is marrow edema in the superior and lateral aspect of the femoral head. In the subchondral superior femoral head there is a double line sign with a thin hyperintense line peripheral to a thick wavy low signal band. No evidence of subchondral fracture. There is a 4 millimeter cyst in the medial aspect of the femoral head. A moderate volume of marrow edema is present in the anterolateral acetabular roof. No chondrolysis. No osteophytosis.
Avatar n tn Subchondral marrow edema within the posterior lateral femoral condyle with inhomogeneity of the overlying posterior lateral femoral cartilage without detached or displaced osteochondral lesion
Avatar f tn osteoarthritis, tendonitis, muscle pull and strain, femoral neck stress fractures, sports hernia or hidden/occult hernia of oblique aponeurosis, or Obturator or ilioinguinal nerve entrapment. You would need all or any of the following for diagnosis: Clinical examination by an orthopedic specialist, X-rays, blood tests, MRI or ultrasonnography. MRI of pelvis will not pick up hip pathology unless targeted at that. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn 2 cm short axis ossified intra-articular body centered along the inner aspect of the lateral femoral ondyle at the posterior intercondylar notch, posterior of the cruciate ligaments (axial images 15; coronal images 7). Additional intra-articular body, slightly smaller, centered along the anteromedial femoral condyle (axial images 14; coronal images 16). Joint effusion with scattered foci of synovial proliferation.
Avatar f tn osteoarthritis, tendonitis, muscle pull and strain, femoral neck stress fractures, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve compression (meralgia paresthetica), sports hernia or hidden/occult hernia of oblique aponeurosis, or Obturator or ilioinguinal nerve entrapment. You would need all or any of the following for diagnosis: Clinical examination by an orthopedic specialist, X-rays, blood tests, MRI or ultrasonnography. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!
Avatar m tn X-rays are unable to detect any early changes of osteoarthritis. The pain starts years before appreciable changes can be detected through X-rays. A repetitive tendon injury is a likely diagnosis. Also, it could be osteoarthritis since you have pain in both thumbs. Another possibility is rheumatoid arthritis. Both can cause symmetrical joint involvement. The treatment is rest, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory such as Tylenol, Aleve or Mobic. Take care!
1448748 tn?1312956208 Arnold–Chiari malformation, or often simply Chiari malformation, is a malformation of the brain. It consists of a downward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum (the opening at the base of the skull), sometimes causing non-communicating hydrocephalus as a result of obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow. The cerebrospinal fluid outflow is caused by phase difference in outflow and influx of blood in the vasculature of the brain.
Avatar f tn ‘Cam’ type femoroacetabular impingement describes a ‘bump’ on the surface of the femoral head (ball) which jams on the rim of the (acetabulum) socket. It normally affects young men. In cam impingement the femoral head is not round and cannot rotate smoothly inside the acetabulum. For some, athletic activity led to it developing. A bump forms on the edge of the femoral head that grinds the cartilage inside the acetabulum. Your doctor may recommend hip arthroscopy to treat this.
Avatar m tn Osteoarthritis, Ligament damage, Meniscus damage or Patello-femoral disorder. Keep me posted. Bye.
Avatar m tn This is a procedure in which, rather than being cut off completely, the femoral head is shaved down. A new cap is inserted in the shaped femoral head and a new cup/socket is inserted in the pelvic bone. Hip resurfacing saves much more bone than THR. The thinking here is that if the resurfacing needs to be re addressed in 20 years there is far more bone to work with. Right after my doc told me I had bone on bone arthritis he resurfaced my left hip. That was 4 years ago next week.
Avatar f tn It sounds like Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Neuropathy, a chronic neurological condition involving damage from likely compression of the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve if you want to look it up and see if this is consistent with your symptoms. it's a nerve that goes from the spine to the thigh. Pain, numbness and weakness is experienced differently by everyone, so do not go necessarily with the strict descriptions offered .
Avatar f tn Hello, The most common type of hernia in females is femoral hernia. It develops near the leg crease somewhat lower than inguinal hernia. It may be difficult to differentiate between inguinal and femoral hernia. Another hernia though very rarer called sciatic hernia can lead to bowel obstruction, sciatica, pelvic pain, back pain or ureteric obstruction. Clinical diagnosis of this condition is difficult.
Avatar f tn I took a pic of my latest X-Ray and noticed the acetabular cup is projecting outward from my socket line at the top of my socket, and it is retracted into my socket on the lower line of equal distance. My femoral head is making contact with my acetabular bone wall instead of the cup in a section at the bottom entry of my socket. Does this indicate a malaligned cup and would explain my problems?
Avatar m tn hi there, I have ficat stage 2 ON of the femoral head - will buying a TENS / EMS machine such as neurotrac help to arrest the disease?
