Symptomatic hip plica: MR arthrographic and arthroscopic correlation

摘要: Two cases of unilateral hip pain are reported in which MR arthrography demonstrated a prominent band medial to the ligamentum teres, running AP direction, consistent with plica. Both patients underwent arthroscopy resection band. No labral tear or additional intra-articular pathological features was identified either case. became asymptomatic following surgery and have remained such. The pathology report specimens be synovial fibroconnective tissue. This is first arthrographic identification symptomatic plica may represent an alternative diagnosis for mechanical pain.
