Although he's a little young for it, the MRI findings are consistent with slipped capital femoral epiphysis which can lead to chondrolysis.and avascular necrosis of the head of the femur. This condition usually occurs in adolescents. An orthopedic specialist with experience in SCFE should be consulted.
