Proximal femoral epiphyseal spurs and their association with acetabular labral tears on MRI in symptomatic patients

Femoral epiphyseal spurs are developmental projections that form at the edge of the physis. Although considered incidental, their association with acetabular labral tears has never been examined. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of femoral epiphyseal spurs in symptomatic patients with mechanical hip pain and explore if they are associated with labral tears on MRI. Hip MRI scans performed on a Siemens 3 T MRI using femoroacetabular...
