Question
A patient has experienced pain in the right inguinal region for eight months. An MRI showed fluid accumulation. The left side has been painful for about ten days, with the pain worsening with activity and improving with rest. The patient inquires about the cause of pain associated with congenital hip dysplasia.
Answer
Based on the imaging findings, the patient does not have congenital hip dysplasia but rather hip impingement syndrome caused by an anteverted hip socket. This condition is due to insufficient overall anterior tilt of the hip socket, which may not be resolved through arthroscopic surgery and may require a periacetabular osteotomy to correct. It is recommended that the patient first undergo a thorough examination at a reputable hospital before beginning treatment, as early treatment usually yields better results. The patient may consider visiting a tertiary hospital for further evaluation and care.
