Modern imaging techniques, including conventional radiography and magnetic resonance arthrography, are essential for assessing developmental dysplasia of the hip and femoroacetabular impingement.
This review highlights the importance of conventional radiography and magnetic resonance arthrography in the diagnostic analysis of hip dysplasia and femoroacetabular impingement.
Guides diagnostic algorithms in hip dysplasia and FAI; extends prior syntheses but leaves open prospective validation.
Modern imaging techniques are an invaluable tool for assessing pathomorphological changes of the hip. Thorough diagnostic analysis and therapeutic decision making mainly rely on correct interpretation of conventional radiographic projections as well as more modern techniques, including magnetic resonance arthrography. This article gives an overview of the imaging techniques that are routinely used for assessing pathological conditions of the hip, with a special focus on diagnostic findings in developmental dysplasia of the hip as well as in femoroacetabular impingement.

Henle et al. (2008) conducted a review in Developmental dysplasia of the hip and femoroacetabular impingement. Imaging techniques (conventional radiography, magnetic resonance arthrography) was evaluated. Modern imaging techniques, including conventional radiography and magnetic resonance arthrography, are essential for assessing developmental dysplasia of the hip and femoroacetabular impingement.
