So, I have been having some hip pain for the last couple of months. Just the other day, I was trying to exit the car and almost collapsed from the pain I experienced. Just received the results of the MRI and wanted to see what I am dealing with. Thank you. Yes, I have a follow up appt. with my ortho. RESULTS: Mild hip joint degenerative disease with diminished articular cartilage and labral tear/degeneration anterosuperiorly associated with cam femoral acetabular impingement. Mild gluteal insertional tendinosis and trochanteric bursitis. SO, based on the appt. yesterday and my previous it looks like I will be having surgery. I saw an orthopedic hip specialist and based on the MRI/XRAYS, this is my only option. He indicated that the ball on my femur has an extra bone this making the ball uneven. He said this occurred during my adolescent years and it happened at my growth plate. He will need to shave the bone down, re attach the labrum with anchors. He said he does close to 500 of the procedures a year and it very common. The doctor is affiliated with HSS(Hospital for Special Surgery). I won’t mention names as I don’t know if that’s allowed. Just curious if anyone else has had this and how they fared. Thank you.
hi, i am 17 weeks post op from a total hip replacement due to a torn labrum (2 tears, 1st tear done 20 yrs ago but misdiagnosed as groin strain!) some arthritic problem also, am so glad I had it done as I am back at work after 12 weeks and am currently on holiday in Mexico:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
hope all goes well
