 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?

  • 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."
