What are the possible findings in an MRI report of a fibula stress fracture?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I looked over the image (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). These findings point to a stress fracture of the femur in the mid-shaft region with inflammation of the surrounding periosteum. In addition, there is evidence of abnormally high linear MR (Magnetic Resonance) signal on T2-weighted (T2W) and STIR (short-tau inversion recovery Magnetic Resonance) sequences in the anterior aspect of right femur's mid-shaft region and a high signal in the adjacent periosteum.

NOTE: The anterior third of the proximal third of the right femur also exhibits a similar linear high signal, but there is no evidence of periosteal or soft tissue inflammation on the right side (observation based only on T2W Coronal cuts). However, since only a detailed imaging of the left thigh (axial and sagittal cuts) has been provided, I would like to limit my observations to that area. Your left femur's periosteum inflammation may be the source of your thigh pain.
