Question 1

my mri of my right knee said that i have patella fissuring and infrapatellar impingment or soft tissue contusion will i need surgery for this?

Accepted Answer

Orthopedics: Patella fissuring can happen in runners. Infrapatellar impingement or soft tissue contusion signifies trauma to the knee. An orthopedic surgeon will be able to answer your question after reviewing the MRI.

Question 2

what tests can be done to confirm if pain from a nerve is due to scar tissue versus an impingement?

Accepted Answer

MRI: If you have undergone spinal surgery and is again experiencing leg pain without a further incident, an evaluation by your spinal surgeon in addition to obtaining a MRI with and without contrast may be able to confirm the nature of the existing pathology.

Question 3

i  have  both ingrinal  scar  tissue  and  a hip impingement . i  am  having  horrible  pain  up and   down  from  the  hip  to  the  groin and  lower abdominal area. which condition causes this pain?

Accepted Answer

Hernia pain: Inguinal hernia repairs are one of the oldest surgical procedures performed.  They are very successful open and laparoscopic with a very low incidence of chronic pain.  Chronic pain after a hernia repair can be the result of a trapped nerve, inflammation from a mesh, or scarring about a nerve called a neuroma.  If the pain is related to the repair, it likely would have been present since day one.

Question 4

pain in low bak n leg. mri- right subarticular disc protrusion at l5-s1 level significantly indenting on anterior thecal sac with right lateral recess and central canal stenosis with severe impingement of right side travrsing nerve. medicin can cure?

Accepted Answer

: Actually, high-dose intravenous steroids may temporarily shrink the disc protrusion, but unlikely to be a permanent solution.  Desiccation and disc shrinkage may occur spontaneously over 9-10 months, another option.  Discuss with your spinal surgeon specialist.  Several potential scenarios.

Question 5

i recently had a mri on my ankle due to chronic pain and swelling on the lateral side. i'm a 59 y/o female. 13 yrs ago i had a triple arthrodesis after a severe calcaneal fracture. the mri shows the peroneal tendons are dislocated, impingement, and degene

Accepted Answer

Your : Your condition is likely surgical. You may require a tibiotalar fusion to complete the pantalar arthrodesis or an ankle replacement. Before going for these drastic measures i feel it is reasonable to consider an arthroscopic debridement of the joint, getting rid of the osteophytes on the front of the ankle and stabilizing the peroneals. The ankle joint tolerates arthritis far better than the hip or the knee. There is no perfect answer but you should always try being as least aggressive as possible. Best of luck!

Question 6

l breast larger than right this am.normal yesterday.no redness,itching,dimpling,lumps,discharge,change in nipple or skin.have shoulder impingement l arm, armpit has lump/warmth.cbc normal.nauseous.hx of l breast dense tissue.scared of ibc.have infant?

Accepted Answer

: It is too early to tell. You just watch the symptoms for now. If the symptoms persists and get worse for another 48 hours, you can see a doctor by then. Mastitis is top of the problem list if symptoms persist. You should not concern about inflammatory breast cancer which does not behave that way.

Question 7

what is the difference between an impingement and tear of a rotator cuff?

Accepted Answer

Severity of condtion: With impingment, the rotator cuff is being pinched, without necessarily being torn, between the acromion of the shoulder blade and the top of the humerus.   Raising your arm pinches the rotator cuff just like closing a door pinches your fingers if they are stuck between the door and door jam.  A rotator cuff tear implies that the tendon is not simply inflamed but is partially or totally disrupted.

Question 8

what does shoulder impingement mean?

Accepted Answer

Internal or external: impingement means bumping up against something. can be outside the rotator cuff(for example acromial spurring can impinge) or can be withing the shoulder(more common with pitchers). external impingement is more common

Question 9

what is femoroacetabular impingement?

Accepted Answer

Hip impingement pain: Femoroacetabular impingement encompasses a constellation of problems about the hip joint that cause pain with combined hyperflexion and internal rotation. Pain results from the hip bone impinging upon the rim of the acetabulum.  Either a prominence of bone on the femoral head-neck junction  (Cam lesion) or on the acetabular rim (pincer lesion) and labral tear are noted at surgery when indicated.

Question 10

what can treat femoroacetabular impingement?

Accepted Answer

Usually surgery: Most patients try physical therapy first.  However, femoroacetabular impingement is usually best treated with surgery to address both the cause and repair the damage from the impingement.  It can often be done arthroscopically but you should find an experienced surgeon.
