HIP MRI HAMSTRING CONJOINT TENDON ORIGIN ANATOMY DISCUSSION This is the hamstring tendon origin at ischial tuberosity. The Anterior tendon is SEMIMEMBRANOSUS (Pink arrow). The Posterior tendon is the CONJOINT TENDON (Blue arrow) consisting of: SEMITENDINOSUS BICEPS FEMORIS Both demonstrate normal signal which is a uniform black signal on all sequences. HIP MRI HAMSTRING CONJOINT …

HIP PARALABRAL CYST MRI LABRUM TEAR DEGENERATION DISCUSSION Paralabral cysts are Hyperintense on PD or T2 Fat Sat and can lie adjacent to or track away from the labrum. The presence of a paralabral cyst is always an indicator of an underlying labral tear even if you cant see the tear. The paralabral …

ISCHIOFEMORAL IMPINGEMENT HIP MRI RADIOLOGY ISCHIOFEMORAL IMPINGEMENT: WHY DOES IT OCCUR Ischiofemoral impingement is a result of the quadratus femoris muscle being compressed between the ischial tuberosity and the posterior femur resulting initially in quadratus femoris oedema but can progress to tears and severe atrophy. ISCHIOFEMORAL IMPINGEMENT: WHAT ARE THE FINDINGS Initially there is oedema …
MRI HIP CAM FAI FEMORO ACETABULAR IMPINGEMENT MRI CAM LESION FAI DISCUSSION This is a CAM type lesion / deformity of the femoral neck. There is convexity of the supero lateral femoral head neck junction. The normal supero lateral femoral head neck junction should be concave like the inferior junction. The convexity may be diffuse …
HIP LABRUM MUCOID DEGENERATION MUCOID DEGENERATION MRI APPEARANCE This is the MRI appearance of mucoid degeneration of the hip labrum. On MRI look for a number of findings Enlargement of the labrum Hyper-intensity of the labrum There may or may not be intra labral cysts of varying size. FINDINGS OF MUCOID DEGENERATION MRI Coronal PDFS …
MOVE SLIDER ICON (ARROWS) LEFT TO SEE THE DIAGNOSIS FINDINGS High signal fluid cleft (Yellow arrows) between the conjoint tendon and the ischium at its attachment. DIAGNOSIS Hamstring tendon Partial Tear.Partial tear at the attachment site of Semitendinosus and Biceps femoris. Tears are most common at the deep surface of the tendon. IMAGES ARE FROM …
ACETABULAR HIP LABRUM OSSIFICATION: What does it look like Acetabular labrum ossification is not common and I have been able to find only a few reports on it. The cases we have seen mostly have an underlying dysplastic, elongated labrum however there are reports of it occurring in a normal labrum. So what does it …

HIP ACETABULAR LABRUM MUCOID DEGENERATION There is a lot written about acetabular labral tears but there are other abnormalities of the labrum that can be precursors to or associated with tears. Here we look at Mucoid Degeneration. Mucoid degeneration of the acetabular labrum is not uncommon, but Ive not been able to find too much …

ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS HIP PERIPHERAL JOINT INVOLVEMENT RADIOLOGY HOW COMMON IS HIP JOINT INVOLVEMENT IN ANK SPOND: Hip involvement in Ankylosing spondylitis has been reported in up to a 1/3rd of patients and is usually bilateral. WHY DOES IT OCCUR: Its primarily an inflammatory process. This results in cartilage destruction and loss of joint space. Eventually …
