Question 1

what is trace right hip joint effusion
i had a mri with metal subtraion and this is what the results are.
i had an total hip replacement in january?

Accepted Answer

Fluid in your joint: This indicates that you have a small amount of fluid in your joint.    It does not necessarily indicate a problem.  However, since your surgeon ordered an MRI postoperatively, he is concerned about a complication, such as infection

Question 2

x-ray of pelvis and right hip found joints appearing normal. right groin ultrasound found prominent  hip joint effusion indicating underlying synovitis. 2 weeks on anti inflammatory meds symptoms improved. one week later hip pain returned. what next?

Accepted Answer

Hip injection: You have an underlying inflammatory response as evidenced by your effusion. I would see about having a X-ray guided hip injection. The fluid aspirated can be examined and steroids can be injected for reduction of symptoms.

Question 3

mri of hips show osteoarthritis, joint effusion, gluteal tendonipathy (all bi-lateral) and free pelvic fluid. is there treatment for this?

Accepted Answer

Multiple findings: These multiple findings would be best explained and treated by an orthopedic surgeon.

Question 4

us of hip says focal hypoechogenicity in the insertional gluteus medius fibres reflecting tendinopathy. the iliopsoas bursa and anterior hip joint are poorly delineated, no obvious effusion or iliopsoas bursitis noted. what does this mean? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: This is a question that should be asked of the Physician that ordered your tests and imaging. (S)He is the practitioner with access to your physical exam and medical history.

Question 5

private us of hip says focal hypoechogenicity in the insertional gluteus medius fibres reflecting tendinopathy. the iliopsoas bursa and anterior hip joint are poorly delineated, no obvious effusion or iliopsoas bursitis noted. please explain?

Accepted Answer

: This report has to be co-related with signs and symptoms and diagnosis. By itself it has no meaning and is just describing and guessing. Let the oredering MD explain in context of her findings and your complaint.

Question 6

what treatment is available for an ankle joint effusion? very painful, hard to exercise or walk. thanks!

Accepted Answer

See an Orthopaedic: MUST  LIKELY YOU NEED EVALUATION AND TREATMENT FOR AN ORTHOPAEDIC MEAN TIME TAKE ARTHRITIS TYLENOL (acetaminophen) AND REST.

Question 7

should i still continue to dance if i have bilateral hip bursitis and bilateral pleural effusion in my hip joints?

Accepted Answer

: Probably it's best to hold off on dancing until your hip buritis and possible fluid in the hip joints clear up. Discuss with the doctor you are seeing. (You probably don't mean pleural effusion. That's fluid collection in the chest. Maybe imaging showed synovial effusion (joint fluid). Also discuss with your doctor.

Question 8

pls explain "sclerosis of posterosuperior femoral heads bilaterally" & "small hipjoint effusions v physiologic joint fluid present". thx! 27f hip pain

Accepted Answer

See details: It means you have inflammation of the hips. I strongly urge you to see a rheumatologist.

Question 9

at what point is surgery needed to treat tibiotalar joint effusion?

Accepted Answer

Can't answer: If you have ankle swelling that persists see your MD or orthopedic surgeon. Some ankle 'effusions ' (? Mri quote) are response to an injury, infection, systemic disease, etc. etc. Without any history I cannot even attempt to answer. Give a thorough history and get examined ! Best of Luck!

Question 10

do i need surgery for a joint effusion, meniscal tear?

Accepted Answer

NOT always, but..: A meniscal tear with an effusion (bloody fluid on the knee) is usually a sign of significant internal knee damage.  The torn meniscus may cause more damage to the internal structures of the knee so surgery is usually indicated.  Follow the advice of your orthopedist.  Hope you are better soon!
