Case ReportHistory
Exam
Findings
Findings
Right hip bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Associated streak artifact limits local evaluation. No definite peri-implant lucency.
Peripherally enhancing low-density collection along the posterior aspect of the hip measuring 5.2 x 6.3 cm in axial dimensions and 6.8 cm in craniocaudal dimension. This is centered deep to the investing fascia. There is linear density extending from the posterior aspect of this collection to the adjacent skin surface which may reflect scar or sinus tract. This collection extends down to the posterior margin of the hip. Intra-articular communication cannot be excluded. In addition, the collection also extends down to the posterior margin of the greater trochanter.
No aggressive appearing periosteal reaction or osseous destruction to suggest osteomyelitis.
Vascular calcifications. Foley catheter in place. Locules of gas within the bladder, presumably from instrumentation. Small volume of fluid in the pelvis. Mild mesenteric edema noted in the right lower quadrant. There are mildly prominent iliac chain lymph nodes, likely reactive.
Impression
No CT evidence for osteomyelitis.
