Implication

Case series reveals reversible marrow signal abnormalities and excess joint fluid in transient hip osteoporosis, indicating that magnetic resonance imaging reliably tracks disease resolution.

Key Points

To describe the magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of transient osteoporosis of the hip and evaluate imaging changes during clinical recovery.
Reviewed magnetic resonance (MR) images of seven affected hips from six patients diagnosed with transient osteoporosis of the hip.
Evaluated joint fluid levels and marrow signal characteristics on T1-weighted and T2-weighted sequences at baseline and during clinical improvement.
Baseline MR images of affected joints demonstrated increased joint fluid and diffuse femoral head marrow signal abnormalities, presenting as decreased T1-weighted and increased T2-weighted signal intensity.
Follow-up MR images obtained during clinical improvement demonstrated regression and resolution of marrow abnormalities and joint fluid accumulation.
