Explanation / Answer

1.d

Osteitis condensans ilii is a benign sclerosis of the ilium that is commonly seen in young women and has an estimated prevalence of between 1.0% to 3%. The condition is thought to be related to pregnancy, althout it can be seen in men and nulliparous women. When related to pregnancy, it is hypothesized that ligamentous laxity at the sacroiliac joints leads to instability and subsequent sclerosis.

2.a

The femoral head appears slightly flattened & denser than normal on the x-ray. – The joint space is widened (Waldenström sign). – Lateralisation of the femoral head.
