MR Evaluation of Non-Traumatic Hip Pain
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Hip pain is a common yet non-specific symptom that may result from a number of articular as well as extra articular conditions. Imaging plays an important role in evaluation of hip pain and MRI is often most valuable imaging method in evaluating these cases. Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out at Image Hospital, Hyderabad over a period of one year. Patients with unilateral or bilateral non-traumatic hip pain were evaluated by plain radiographs and MRI. Plain radiographs and MRI findings were reviewed and the final diagnosis was suggested based on clinical, laboratory and imaging findings. Equivocal or nonspecific imaging findings were further confirmed by cytology /histopathology wherever indicated. Results: A total of 85 cases of non-traumatic hip pain were evaluated. A wide spectrum of conditions including degenerative, ischemic, inflammatory/infective and neoplastic lesions were discovered as the cause of hip pain. Conclusion: Hip pain can arise from a wide variety of conditions and MRI is a very useful modality in evaluation of these conditions.
