MRI risk factors for development of avascular necrosis after closed reduction of developmental dysplasia of the hip: Predictive value of contrast-enhanced MRI
Fig 5
Pattern of contrast enhancement of the proximal femoral epiphysis.
A. Contrast-enhanced coronal T1-weighted image in a 5-month old girl after closed reduction of the left hip shows a normal striated pattern of enhancement in the cartilaginous femoral epiphysis. B. Contrast-enhanced coronal T1-weighted image in a 4-month-old girl after closed reduction of the left hip shows a geographic area of decreased enhancement in the left femoral head. C. Contrast-enhanced axial T1-weighted image in a 7-month-old girl after closed reduction of the right hip shows a global decreased enhancement of the right femoral head.
