2 Learning objectives - To know the most common and rarer causes of osteonecrosis - To review the imaging findings of osteonecrosis Background Osteonecrosis or avascular necrosis is the result of ischemia of the cellular elements of the bone. The term osteonecrosis applies when there is involvement of epiphyseal or subarticular bone, whereas the term bone infarct is reserved for metaphyseal and diaphyseal involvement (1). Osteonecrosis has numerous causes, the common etiologies are trauma, corticosteroids, alcoholism, sickle cell anemia and collagen vascular disease, however many cases are idiopathic (2,3). Other important uncommon causes are pancreatitis, infection, renal transplantation and vasculitis (3). Femoral head, the knee (distal femur and proximal tibia), humeral head, scaphoid, lunate and talus are the most affected sites (3). The patient symptoms are nonspecific - pain and reduce range of motion. The long term symptoms are dependent of the articular chronic changes, namely the articular collapse (3). The diagnosis relies heavily in the imaging findings. We will make a review of the spectrum of findings in conventional radiography, CT and MRI studies of osteonecrosis. Findings and procedure details Radiography Usually, radiography is the first imaging method used because it is widely available and inexpensive. Although insensitive for the earliest changes of osteonecrosis (require several months to occur), the imaging features are often characteristic (3). The first imaging finding is bone sclerosis, that is relative in nature because is the surrounding bone that is osteopenic. Latter in the process bone formation occurs. The typical Page 2 of 12
3 appearance is patchy areas of lucency and sclerosis (fig. 1) with a serpentine or undulating morphology, being the sclerosis characteristically about the lesion rim (1,3). Early changes of articular collapse typically occur at the junction of the serpentine sclerotic rim and the articular surface, where stress is maximally exerted (fig. 2) (3). The classic crescent sign (a crescent subchondral lucency) is the result of a subchondral fracture, represents collapse of the subchondral bone and separation from the overlying cartilage and attached subchondral bone plate (fig. 3) (1,3). The width of the joint space is usually preserved because the most of the times the articular cartilage is not affected (fig. 4) (4). Secondary osteoarthritis may occur latter on the course of the disease and is the consequence of progressive subchondral fragmentation, flattening and deformity of the joint (2). The radiographic differentiation of primary osteoarthritis from osteonecrosis with secondary joint degeneration can be extremely difficult (1). Computed Tomography (CT) CT is good method in the evaluation of the later changes of osteonecrosis and the findings are similar to the radiography: serpentine or undulating sclerotic margin (fig. 5). Early changes are better depicted with MR, but CT is able to delineate subtle alterations in bone when routine radiographs are normal, namely subtle alteration of the normal trabeculation pattern (1,3). Epiphyseal extension of osteonecrosis is well assessed on CT studies (fig. 6) and that information is particularly important in surgical planning for rotational arthroplasty. CT is usually the technique of choice for detection of subchondral fractures that appear as curvilinear or irregular subchondral low density line with variable extension (can breach the articular surface). Articular collapse, or secondary degenerative changes can be well characterized by CT (fig. 7) (1,3,5). So, the major roles for CT are in determining the severity of articular collapse and its location and evidence of early secondary degenerative joint disease (6). Magnetic Resonance (MR) MR is the most sensitive and specific imaging study for detection of osteonecrosis, including early disease (3,6). The initial findings in early osteonecrosis are bandlike lesions, ringlike lesions, or diffuse decreased signal intensity with a dark band, with or without collapse (7). The most common MR imaging pattern seen in osteonecrosis is a serpiginous or undulating low-signal-intensity line of uniform width on T1-weighted images (fig. 8) and T2-weighted images, with an adjacent rim of increased signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging (double-line) that is virtually pathognomonic of osteonecrosis (fig. 9). In the Page 3 of 12
4 center of the line there is, usually, an area of yellow marrow (1,3). However, the MR signal intensity in the area of osteonecrosis may show intrinsic characteristics other than adipose tissue: hemorrhage (high signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted images), cystic areas (low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images) (fig. 10), and fibrous tissue (low signal intensity with all pulse sequences). This variability is much more common in epiphyseal areas of osteonecrosis and does not have prognostic significance (3). Subchondral fracture appears on MR as a curvilinear subchondral low-signal-intensity line on T1-weighted images and a high-signal-intensity line on T2-weighted images, frequently better depicted in the last (5). Epiphyseal collapse appears as a focal depression of the subchondral bone area (fig. 11) (8). In the majority of cases the use of contrast-enhanced MR imaging in osteonecrosis is not necessary for diagnosis or assessment (3). MR imaging characteristics of the osteonecrosis are similar or identical in multiple sites: femoral head, knee, humeral head, scaphoid, lunate and talus (1). Images for this section: Page 4 of 12

12 Conclusion Osteonecrosis has some characteristic imaging findings that every radiologist must know. MR is the most sensitive imaging study for the diagnosis of osteonecrosis. A serpiginous or undulating sclerotic rim on radiography and CT and a serpentine or undulating rim of low signal intensity surrounding a region of maintained fat signal intensity on MR are the most common patterns.
