Diagnostic testing, such as X-ray, CT scan, or MRI, do not usually reveal abnormalities; therefore, they cannot reliably be used for diagnosis of sacroiliac joint dysfunction. [ 9 ] [ 2 ] There is a new imaging test SPECT/CT which can sometimes detect sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition involving one or more anatomical abnormalities of the hip joint, which is a ball and socket joint. [1] It is a common cause of hip pain and discomfort in young and middle-aged adults. [2]
X rays and/or MRI show a mix of osteopenia and/or sclerosis and/or subchondral cysts, without any subchondral lucency Stage IIA < 15% of FH being involved in abnormal scan considered mild Stage IIB 15% to 30% of FH being involved in abnormal scan considered moderate Stage IIC > 30% of FH being involved in abnormal scan considered severe Stage III
Pain in the groin, called anterior hip pain, is most often the result of osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, occult fracture, acute synovitis, and septic arthritis; pain on the sides of the hip, called lateral hip pain, is usually caused by bursitis; pain in the buttock, called posterior or gluteal hip pain, which is the least common type of hip ...
The sciatic nerve is highly mobile in the deep gluteal space with hip and even knee movements. [7] For example, hip flexion with knee extension (also called a straight leg raise) causes the sciatic nerve in the deep gluteal space to move 28mm towards the center of the body. [14] Hip movements may also create dynamic impingement between muscles.
Hip adduction is a strengthening exercise for the piriformis muscle. A cable attached at the ankle can be used to adduct the hip, bringing the leg in toward the opposite side of the body. The same equipment can also be used for hip abduction, where the leg starts beside the opposing leg and moves out to the side, away from the body.
However, additional imaging can be used to better define and evaluate abnormalities that may be missed or unclear on plain X-rays. CT and MRI are not routinely used for simple dislocation, however CT is useful in certain cases such as hip dislocation where an occult femoral neck fracture is suspected . [23]
Ligamentous laxity will show up on an upright magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the only kind of MRI that will show soft tissue damage. It can only be inferred from a digital motion x-ray. It can only be inferred from a digital motion x-ray.
