 | Magnetic resonance imaging in traumatic hip subluxation. |  Figure 0004: MRI three months after injury. The coronal fast spin echo T2-weighted image with a fat saturation image shows slight increase in size and signal intensity of the right femoral head abnormality. (Images obtained on a 1.5T General Electric MR scanner)Bottom Line: This case highlights the potential pitfalls of immediate magnetic resonance imaging.Femoral head contusions and acetabular rim fractures are common associated findings usually apparent with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).An acute MRI more than 48 hours post... | Flanigan DC, De Smet AA, Graf B - Indian J Orthop (2011) |
