Talk:Diagnostic Imaging of the Hip for Physical Therapists

 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

 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

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

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

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?
