Ultrasound Report

There is mild deep surface fraying of the iliopsoas tendon which is otherwise preserved. No associated iliopsoas bursa is evident. Of note, there is a focal capsular thickening corresponding to abnormality noted on MRI. Area of focal capsular thickening appears to immediately overlie the anterosuperior labrum resulting in mild mass impression on the labrum. No discrete snapping or pain could be elicited with provacative maneuvers.

Impression:
Mild ilipsoas tendinosis with deep sided fraying, right hip.
Focal lateral capsular thickening which appears to impinge along the anterosuperior labrum.

It was elected not to proceed with the ultrasound guided injection today pending discussion with referring clinician.

could it be the fraying causing the pain?
