  • Title: Adductor insertion avulsion syndrome with stress fracture of femoral shaft: MRI findings.
    Author: Lawande MA, Sankhe S, Pungavkar SA, Patkar DP.
    Journal: Australas Radiol; 2007 Oct; 51 Spec No.():B104-6. PubMed ID: 17875127.
    Abstract:
    Chronic vague hip pain may be caused by stress-related injury in the proximal or mid-femoral diaphysis. This has been described as an entity called adductor insertion avulsion syndrome, or thigh splints. In the appropriate clinical setting, the radiologist interpreting the magnetic resonance imaging must be aware of this condition as its imaging findings are subtle. The diagnosis will help the clinician plan the appropriate management. Magnetic resonance imaging can also depict the complications such as stress fracture.
