Subchondral insufficiency fracture of the femoral head (SIF) may be confused with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ON) due to clinical and imaging similarities.
Contrast-enhanced MR images in patients with SIF (ten hips in ten patients) were retrospectively reviewed and compared with those from patients with ON (ten hips in six patients).
Low-signal intensity bands on T1-weighted images were present within the femoral head in all hips examined. The segment proximal to the band was contrast-enhanced following IV gadolinium administration in nine of ten hips (90%) with SIF and in none of the 10 hips with ON.
These results suggest that the presence of contrast enhancement in the segment proximal to the low-signal intensity band in the femoral head may serve as a supplemental diagnostic measure for the differentiation of SIF from ON.
由于临床和影像学表现相似,股骨头软骨下不全骨折(SIF)可能会与股骨头坏死(ON)相混淆。
回顾性分析SIF患者(10例患者的10个髋关节)的对比增强磁共振成像,并与ON患者(6例患者的10个髋关节)的成像进行比较。
所有检查的髋关节中,股骨头在T1加权图像上均出现低信号带。在10例SIF患者的10个髋关节中有9个(90%)在静脉注射钆后,低信号带近端的节段出现对比增强,而10例ON患者的髋关节均未出现。
这些结果表明,股骨头低信号带近端节段出现对比增强可作为区分SIF与ON的补充诊断方法。
