Radiology Rounds

Round # 14

Clinical History

The patient is a 38 year old man without significant past medical history who presents to an orthopedic surgeon with right-sided hip and groin pain of several weeks duration. He denies any antecedent trauma, and the onset of the pain was acute in nature. The discomfort has progressed to the point where he now has significant difficulty bearing weight on the affected side. He denies any recent travel, trauma, fevers, weight loss, skin rashes, joint pain, swelling, or stiffness. He has been using Tylenol and Ibuprofen with little relief, and is becoming increasingly frustrated with his condition. Physical examination reveals an antalgic gait, but there are no other obvious abnormalities. A series of radiographic studies were undertaken.
