Figure 3From: Acetabular labral tear complicating idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head treated by labral repair with hip arthroscopy: a case report Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. a. T1-weighted imaging: a band sign characteristic of idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head was observed. b. T2 short-tau inversion recovery: a high intensity was noted in the acetabular labrum, but no bone marrow edema or hydrarthrosis suggesting collapse was present in the necrotic region of the femoral head.Back to article page
