The aims of this study were to compare the diagnostic test characteristics
of ultrasound alone, metal artefact reduction sequence MRI (MARS-MRI)
alone, and ultrasound combined with MARS-MRI for identifying intra-operative
pseudotumours in metal-on-metal hip resurfacing (MoMHR) patients
undergoing revision surgery. This retrospective diagnostic accuracy study involved 39 patients
(40 MoMHRs). The time between imaging modalities was a mean of 14.6
days (0 to 90), with imaging performed at a mean of 5.3 months (0.06
to 12) before revision. The prevalence of intra-operative pseudotumours
was 82.5% (n = 33).Aims
