  • Title: Femoral head osteochondral lesions in painful hips of athletes: MR imaging findings.
    Author: Weaver CJ, Major NM, Garrett WE, Urbaniak JE.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2002 Apr; 178(4):973-7. PubMed ID: 11906885.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: This study describes the MR imaging findings of focal osteochondral lesions found in the hips of 11 athletes with persistent pain and normal findings on radiographs. CONCLUSION: Osteochondral lesions of the femoral head are seen on MR imaging as focal, medial areas of high T2-weighted and low T1-weighted signals and should be considered as a possible cause of persistent hip or groin pain in young, high-level athletes because the institution of appropriate treatment may help to prevent late degenerative sequelae.
