MRI risk factors for development of avascular necrosis after closed reduction of developmental dysplasia of the hip: Predictive value of contrast-enhanced MRI
Fig 3
Obstacles of closed reduction: MR features.
A. The contrast-enhanced axial T1-weighted image shows the pulvinar (asterix) as a thick fibrofatty tissue blocking concentric reduction in the left hip joint space. Note the punctate enhancement of the left proximal femoral epiphysis. B. Coronal T2-weighted with fat-suppression obtained after closed reduction of the left hip shows triangular shaped, hyperintense soft tissue at the chondrolabral junction of the left acetabulum (arrow) reflecting the neolimbus.
