Mild hypertrophic bony and capsular changes at symphysis pubis with underlying bilateral marrow edema.
Hyperintensity is seen anterior to and within anterosuperior pubic body on left side, underneath common adductor – rectus abdominus aponeurosis insertion.
Small cystic lesion is seen along the greater trochanter of left femur – likely ganglion cyst (likely incidental finding).
Case Discussion
Above findings are suggestive of moderate osteitis pubis with associated partial avulsion of left common adductor – rectus abdominis aponeurosis and adductor longus tendon origin (athletic pubalgia).
