Figures & data

An arthrogram showing leakage of the contrast medium from the pseudojoint cavity to a bursa developed in the trochanter area after total hip arthroplasty, which had been performed using the anterolateral approach. This finding is diagnostic of an avulsion of the abductor muscles from the medial aspect of the greater trochanter.
