S. <strong>Towfigh</strong><br />

Physical Exam<br />

No visible bulge or palpable hernia defect in the right groin.<br />

Nonspecific tenderness 2+ at the right groin, at the internal ring region.<br />

Non-tender ASIS, hip area, pubic bone. <strong>Pain</strong> with passive flexion and<br />

internal rotation <strong>of</strong> the right hip.<br />

Imaging<br />

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) <strong>of</strong> the pelvis was ordered to evaluate<br />

for inguinal hernia. It showed suggestion <strong>of</strong> hip anterior acetabular<br />

labral tear, with increased signal at acetabulum (Fig. 44.1 ), as well as CAMtype<br />

femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) .<br />

Diagnosis<br />

Right hip labral tear with FAI.<br />

Fig. 44.1. MRI <strong>of</strong> the pelvis, non-contrast, T2 axial view. Right anterior acetabulum<br />

with intermediate linear increased intensity signal, suggestive <strong>of</strong> labral tear<br />

( yellow arrow ). Also, concomitant osseous bump at femoral head-neck junction<br />

suggestive <strong>of</strong> CAM-type femoroacetabular impingement ( yellow asterisk ). MR<br />

arthrogram is indicated.
