  • Title: Subchondral insufficiency fracture of the femoral head in younger adults.
    Author: Yamamoto T, Nakashima Y, Shuto T, Jingushi S, Iwamoto Y.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 2007 Jun; 36 Suppl 1():S38-42. PubMed ID: 16944140.
    Abstract:
    We report two cases of subchondral insufficiency fracture of the femoral head observed in younger adults without any history of overexertion. In both cases, MRI revealed an irregular, discontinuous low-intensity band on the T1-weighted images. Both patients were treated operatively, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of subchondral fracture. A diagnosis of subchondral insufficiency fracture needs to be put in as one of the diagnoses in younger patients with a hip pain.
