The patient was a 34-year-old male recreational marathon runner referred to a physical therapist with a chief complaint of worsening right lateral hip pain of 3 months duration that was insidious in nature. Following a physical examination, the physical therapist discussed his suspicions with the referring physician. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed findings consistent with a stress fracture at the inferomedial right femoral neck, a mild cam-type deformity of the right femoral neck, and a mild degree of heterogeneity of the right superior anterior labrum, representing a possible tear.
