2 Hip imaging has changed in recent years: new insights into anatomy and biomechanics developments in hip-preserving surgery technological advances in imaging (3T MRI, improvements in US technology) Imaging modalities: Radiographs- remain basis for any hip pathology Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)- paramount for intra-articular pathology (e.g. cartilage and labrum in FAI) Ultrasound Computed tomography (CT)

3 Intra-articular lesions Labrum and cartilage (/femoroacetabular impingement) Extra-articular lesions Rotator cuff tendons Snapping hip syndrome Athletic pubalgia Indications for each imaging modality

5 61F- severe OA Labral tears and cartilage lesions in the young occur 2 0 : 20M-right hip pain Hip dysplasia FAI Other (Legg- Calve-Perthes, old trauma, )

6 A common cause of early OA Divided into CAM-type (femoral abnormalities) and pincer-type (acetabular abnormalities) Initial imaging: X-rays AP, frog-leg, Dunn views- Good technique imperative 28M 24M Normal

11 MR arthrography vs MRI: Meta-analysis: Accuracy of MR-A is superior Sensitivity: MRI 66%, MR-A 87% Specificity: MRI 79%, MR-A 64% Smith TO, et al. Eur Radiol 2011; 21(4): If optimize the MR-A study: Combination of 3 sequences detected 96% tears in 144 patients who underwent arthroscopy Sagittal T1 fat-saturation Axial-oblique T1 fat-saturation Coronal T2 fat-saturation Ziegert AJ, et al. AJR 2009; 192:

12 Fluoro-guided intra-articular injection of gadolinium solution(10-15 ml) Disadvantages: Invasive, uncomfortable (however: moderate pain average 2 d) Giaconi JC, et al. AJR 2011;196(4): An extra step: increased cost and time (however: increased accuracy and indication for surgical intervention)

13 Variations in shape: Triangular (~70%), round, flat Absent (controversial) 2 basic types of labral tears: Degenerative Traumatic Intrasubstance Detachment Most are anterosuperior > posterosuperior Czerny C et al. Radiology Jul;200(1):225-30

16 20M- waterpolo player hip/groin pain: anterosuperior tear 32F- refractory hip pain since MMA injury 9 months: posterior tear

17 Sublabral recess in 18% (anterior, anterosuperior) Posteroinferior sulcus in 23% Absence of anterior portion of labrum in 10-14% Bifid posterior labrum (rare) 19M Normal posterior sulcus Axial-oblique

24 Grading cartilage lesions before macroscopic changes ( pre-clinical cartilage damage) Not yet implemented in routine clinical imaging Techniques include dgemric (delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage) T2 mapping (changes in H 2 0 content and arrangement of collagen structure) T2* mapping (allows fro 3D mapping) T1rho-weigthed MRI (loss of proteoglycans)

37 Advances in knowledge pathophysiology and in imaging technology have changed the way the hip joint is imaged Xrays and MRI can be used to detect acetabular overcoverage and morphological deformities of the femur New technology optimizes detection of labral and cartilage lesions of the hip FAI concept widely accepted- relevance remains controversial in borderline cases

38 Cartilage mapping techniques promising- but not yet used in routine clinical practice Beware of common variants/pitfalls Role for US in snapping hip Dedicated protocols for athletic pubalgia allow detection of RA/adductor aponeurosis injuries
