Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The acetabular labrum plays an important role in hip biomechanical function and stability. Labral tears can result in appreciable clinical symptoms and joint dysfunction and may predispose the hip to chondral damage and osteoarthritis. Magnetic resonance imaging is an effective tool for detecting and characterizing labral tears. Direct magnetic resonance arthrography is the most commonly used and validated technique for evaluating the labrum. However, indirect magnetic resonance arthrography and non-arthrographic magnetic resonance imaging are two less invasive and less resource-intensive techniques that should also be considered. Orthopaedic surgeons and radiologists should strive to develop and implement minimally and noninvasive diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging protocols for the investigation of labral pathology.
