Hello all, thanks for all your concern. Here is the report from
the radiologist.
There are increased uptakes in the right greater
trochanter. Mild nonspecific diffuse uptake is also seen in the right
acetabulum. There is a focal abnormal uptake at the superior aspect of
the right acetabulum. Mild increased uptake is also seen in the right
mid femur near the tip of the prosthesis.
IMPRESSION: Abnormal uptakes at the right greater trochanter,
right acetabulum and right mid femur. Part of this could be due to postoperative
changes of the right hip replacement, but hardware loosening can have a similar
appearance. Clinical correlation and correlation with and X-ray is suggested.
So the OS wasn't happy with the radiologist reading on this, and he said
with looking at the x-ray of the hip, he said it was probably post
operative changes. He gave me a cortisone shot in the hip which didn't
seem to help. So I go back to see him in 4 weeks.
I'm icing my hip and leg hoping that will take some of the pain and
swelling away. And being happy with no revision again. Which I told
him that surgery was NOT an option!!!!!
Thanks all! Any comments or suggestions I would greatly appreciate!!
Jo,,,,,whats your opinion on this report??
