Abstract

Purpose: To review the MRI findings in transient osteoporosis of the hip (TOH) and to investigate the pattern of perfusion in dynamic studies.

Material and Methods: Twenty-seven patients (29 hips), 23–66 years old, were referred for hip pain without history of trauma. In all patients the diagnosis of TOH based on x-rays (decrease bone density of the femoral head) and MRI (bone marrow edema-BME) was confirmed after complete resolution of symptoms and MRI findings after 6–18 months. MRI studies included T1-w SE, T2-w-SPIR-TSE and contrast enhanced T1-w TFE in dynamic mode and delayed SE. Imaging assessment included joint effusion, location and extent of BME (types A–D), sparing of the femoral head, subchondral linear lesions, and collapse.

Results: Joint effusion was observed in 28 of 29 hips. The extent of BME in the femoral head was type A in 5/29 hips, B in 2/29, C in 16/29, D in 6/29. Associated BME of the acetabulum was depicted in 6/29 hips. In 12/29 hips the bone marrow edema was sparing the subchondral area. Subchondral line was only found in 2/29 hips. On dynamic T1–w images all hips presented with a delayed pattern of perfusion up to 40 sec.

Conclusion: MRI findings are useful in diagnosing TOH and differentiating this entity from early AVN.
