Abstract

Magnetic resonance tomography (MR) was used to examine the femoral heads of 20 normals and of 56 patients with diseases of the femoral head, including Perthe's disease (four cases), adult necrosis of the femoral head (39 cases) and pain of unknown cause (13 cases). Femoral head necrosis and Perthe's disease regularly produce reduced signal intensity. The localisation of the areas of necrosis can be determined accurately in the coronary and sagittal plane. In 11 femoral heads, necrosis could be demonstrated unequivocally by MR in the presence of normal radiographic findings. Follow-up of nine patients with negative MR findings and indefinite symptoms confirmed the absence of necrosis.
