Isotropic 3D MRI determined labral tear extent correlates with hyaline cartilage loss in hip dysplasia patients

This study is a novel investigation into the clinical correlations between parameters measured through 3D MRI and outcomes for patients with hip dysplasia (HD). Although there were no statistically significant correlations seen between labral tear length and PROMs (p>0.05), a few non-significant correlation trends were observed. Furthermore, labral tear lengths directly positively correlated with worsening cartilage damage, the presence of subchondral bone cysts, para-labral cysts, and the number of labral tears seen.
