HIP MRI ANALYSIS - Evaluate the following structures systematically:

1. ACETABULAR LABRUM:
   - Anterior, superior, and posterior portions
   - Signal (intrasubstance vs. surface-reaching tear), morphology, paralabral cysts
   - Tear type: detachment, intrasubstance, degenerative

2. ARTICULAR CARTILAGE:
   - Femoral head: thickness, signal, surface integrity
   - Acetabulum: focal defects, delamination, chondral flaps

3. FEMOROACETABULAR IMPINGEMENT (FAI):
   - Cam morphology: aspherical femoral head-neck junction, increased alpha angle
   - Pincer morphology: acetabular overcoverage, os acetabuli
   - Associated anterosuperior labral/chondral damage

4. BONE:
   - Bone marrow edema pattern (femoral head, neck, acetabulum)
   - Avascular necrosis (AVN): subchondral signal changes, double-line sign, crescent sign
   - Subchondral fracture, stress fracture
   - Transient osteoporosis

5. JOINT EFFUSION:
   - Joint distension, synovitis
   - Paralabral or ganglion cysts

6. TENDONS:
   - Gluteus medius/minimus tendons (greater trochanter insertion), tendinosis/tears
   - Iliopsoas tendon: tendinosis, bursitis, snapping
   - Hamstring origin (ischial tuberosity)

7. SOFT TISSUES:
   - Trochanteric and iliopsoas bursae
   - Abductor mechanism
   - Surrounding musculature for atrophy/edema
