Summary
This study highlights how magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography can identify a hip plica, a synovial band causing hip pain. Surgical removal of the symptomatic plica resolved pain in both reported cases.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Radiology
- Sports Medicine
Background:
- Hip pain is a common complaint with various etiologies.
- Plicae are synovial folds within the hip joint that can become symptomatic.
- Accurate diagnosis of intra-articular hip pathology is crucial for effective treatment.
