摘要
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.
