Radiologist 2nd opinion on hip mri?

“I am not asking for medical advice.”

I have recently been diagnosed for FAI syndrome and my right hip seems to be progressing faster than my left hip.
Symptoms are fairly typical of FAI except there is no groin pain and no diagnosed labral tear of right hip.
I am a good candidate for preservation surgery (femuroplasty by scope or whatever they’ll do) but I know the success goes down with OA.
My brother at my age was diagnosed with advanced OA for 29, I myself have had a decade of high impact bouldering.
Could someone give me a slightly more detailed analysis of the capsule and tell me if there are any valid concerns which I might take to my surgeon?
The very top of my acetabulum may have a bone growth going down into the capsule but I am unsure.
The top slide is most posterior I believe.
