A 48-year-old man with combined cam and pincer impingement. a Coronal PD-weighted MRI demonstrates labral degeneration with intralabral ossification (white arrow). Separation is seen at the chondrolabral junction (black arrow). There is moderate to high-grade chondral wear over the superior femoral head and anterosuperior dome (arrowheads). b Axial oblique PD-weighted image shows a non-displaced tear of the anterior and anterosuperior labrum (arrow), with an associated intralabral cyst (arrowhead). c Arthroscopy image in the same patient demonstrates the labrum (L), acetabular (A), and femoral head (F) articular surfaces. An intrasubstance labral tear between 12 and 4 o'clock (white arrows), impaction erythema (asterisk), and chondral delamination at the transition zone (arrowhead) are seen. d There is moderate chondral wear (black arrows) over the femoral head, and normal cartilage is seen adjacent to this area (F)
