Plain radiographs show ill-defined sclerosis in the left para-acetabular region (A). CT shows diffuse irregular osteosclerosis in the left para-acetabular region, possibly associated with the fracture (B). Bone scintigraphy shows a markedly increased uptake in the left acetabulum (C).

Plain radiographs showed irregular osteosclerosis in the para-acetabulum (Fig. 1A). Computed tomography (CT) also showed diffuse osteosclerosis in the para-acetabulum (Fig. 1B). Bone scintigraphy demonstrated uptake in the para-acetabulum (Fig. 1C).
MRI shows diffuse low-signal intensity on T1-weighted image (A) and high-signal intensity on T2-weighted (B) and STIR images (C), suggesting bone marrow edema, associated with the fracture.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a low-signal intensity on T1-weighted images and a high-signal intensity on T2-weighted and STIR images throughout the entire hemipelvic bone (Fig. 2).
