Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have attached my magnetic resonance imaging result of my right hip, which was taken five years ago.
What does the small fluid-filled cleft mean? Is it a bone cyst, arthritis, or a tear? I need some clarification. Also, Is this magnetic resonance imaging showing any arthritis changes?
The doctor suggested that I had mild chondral changes, as shown on an X-ray, which was not taken at his clinic. What does that mean? How much arthritis does that indicate if it is arthritis? Please advise.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your reports (attachment removed for protecting patient's identity). The small fluid-filled cleft in the labrum is a partial tear and might be due to degenerative changes. The articular cartilage is grossly normal means that there are no significant arthritis changes. There might be minimal bony changes visualized in the X-ray, which could be better appreciated in images. The arthritis is not significant, as per the report. Usually, arthritis is graded as minimal, mild, moderate, and severe. Your hip joint is showing minimal arthritis changes. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with them and take the treatment.
Keep follow up for further assistance.
Thank you.
