I | *Good Quesion: From the information that I gathered the alpha angle is a representation in which an abnormality may lead you to a "cam type" impingement. It did not state any indications of a lower vs higher angle, only that it was a sign to watch out for. It esentially leads you to a "hip dysplasia." |

Rob, image C for labral tears views what?
- I added the additional information to the caption. Image C indicates a hip labral tear with adjacent paralabral cyst. The image is a sagittal proton density sequence. Thanks for the catch.
Labral tear question[edit source]
Rob, the image c in labral tear doesn't indicate what it is viewing.
- Please see above answer
Rob, great project! Very helpful how you included the gold standard for each condition. I was also wondering about image C in the labral tear section, and if you had found any examples of MRA images of labral tears
- The images for the MRA were not out of the original studies included, but examples are now posted.
Hip OA question[edit source]
Do you have any images of hip OA on an MRI to include (as you mentioned that this is the gold standard)? Dan.
- I agree, good point Dan.
- See attached image in OA section
Trochanteric Bursitis[edit source]
Overall things look really good. Just a small edit on a misspelling.
"In addition, tendonitis should have a positive isometric contraction with ativation to the affected muscle(s) only." should be ACTIVATION
Impingement[edit source]
Another quick spelling edit:
"This conditon is hard to detect clinically without imaging, as it often goes unnoticed until the conditon has casued other pathology such as a labral tear." should be CAUSED
I was also wondering about the alpha angle. It says that normal is 55 deg. Does greater or less than 55 deg contribute to a particular type of impingement or is likelihood increased if the angle is abnormal?
