Plain radiographs of the pelvis and proximal femur showed hypercondensation of the medial cortex of the left femur below the calcar, the classic flowing candle wax, combined with condensation of the iliac side of the sacroiliac joints bilaterally (Figure 1).

CT of the pelvis and left femur was performed and showed an hypercondensation in the medial cortex of the left femur, and a bilateral condensation of the iliac side of the sacroiliac joints (Figure 2, Figure 3).
