Sports Med Arthrosc Rev. 2009 Mar;17(1):49-55. doi: 10.1097/JSA.0b013e318197432e.

Abstract

With the increasing awareness of hip pathologies and their treatment with arthroscopic surgery, an explosion in the knowledge base has occurred. With this expansion has come the need to assess many injuries with magnetic resonance imaging and other modalities. This update will serve to delineate the common injuries that are seen and their imaging assessment.
