CT scan

Last week I went to pick up the CT scan I had of my left hip back on September 20.  I didn't realize that it was not on the MRA CD so none of the doctors I have been to have reviewed my CT scan.  I am a little upset that I overlooked this and really wish Proscan would have said something about it when I went to pick up my MRA results.  At least I have it now and plan to have my local OS review it with me at my office visit Thursday.  When I looked at it on my computer, I was surprised by how much arthritis I saw.  I am hoping that I am mistaken about the arthritis :/  It looks like I had synovitis and my femor head is so big that it doesn't look like I have a femor neck.  I did get diagnosed with coxa magna but was surprised to see how misshapen it looked.

I emailed a doctor that I saw several months ago that specializes in PAO's to see if he would mind reviewing the CT scan.  He recommended that I get a femor neck osteoplasty with labral repair before I consider a rPAO to correct the mild retroversion.  I've had a hard time finding info on coxa magna but from what I understand, I have too much coverage in the front and not enough coverage in the back of my acetabulum, which caused a pressure difference in the joint.  The way my body responded to this was to form a bony overgrowth that widened my femor head in an attempt to have a more equal distribution of pressure.  My concern is that the bony overgrowth will grow back after the surgery.  Hopefully that will not be the case!
