Orthopedics denied - late MRI
Will a 2nd opinion help? Orthopedics denied my referral. They reviewed my X-ray which showed mild arthritis. However, they didn’t have my MRI which I had done a week after. Do I have a chance for THR? I’ve failed two blocks of physical therapy and injections. Here are my MRI readings:
IMPRESSION:
- Degenerative arthritis of both hips with moderate chondromalacia, shortening of the femoral necks and partial ossification and tears of the acetabular labra.
- Prominent enthesopathy both innominate bones and proximal femurs.
- Bilateral gluteal tendinopathy with partial-thickness tear of the conjoined portion of the tendon on the left.
