Lucency in the left femoral head with a sclerotic head typically indicates a pathological process affecting the bone. The lucency suggests an area of decreased bone density, which could be due to conditions such as avascular necrosis, osteomyelitis, or a bone cyst. The sclerotic appearance indicates increased bone density surrounding the lucent area, often as a response to the underlying pathology. A thorough clinical evaluation and imaging studies are necessary to determine the exact cause and appropriate management.

My mum has two femoral arteries in her right leg and one in the left.
This essentially is a cyst inside of the neck of the hip bone. The peripheral sclerotic area is the outside of this "cyst" and has a lot of calcium in it... thus it shows up as a very white area on xray, since it is more dense (because of the calcium). Hypo-dense just means there isn't much calcium in the middle of this bone "cyst" so it shows up on the xray as a dark area (hypo= less).
The femoral pulse may be palpated at the juncture of the thigh and the pelvis, bear the femoral condyle, patient front.

Sclerotic density in the left ilium and a smaller sclerotic density in the right acetabular roof suggest the presence of bone islands, which are benign, localized areas of increased bone density. These findings typically indicate regions of compact bone that are not associated with malignancy or significant pathology. Such bone islands are often incidental findings on imaging studies and usually require no treatment unless there are other concerning features. It's important to correlate with clinical findings and possibly follow up with further imaging if needed.

A dense sclerotic in the left side of the T5 vertebra refers to an area where the bone has become hardened and more compact than usual. This can be a result of conditions such as bone metastasis or osteoblastic metastases that cause increased bone density in that specific area. Further evaluation, such as imaging studies or a biopsy, may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
