Abstract:
Inflammation of the hip may be due to infectious and noninfectious causes. Furthermore, involvement is categorized based on the origin and spread to adjacent structures involving the soft tissues, the joint, and underlying bone to refine the differential diagnosis. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is highly effective in establishing the presence and underlying cause of inflammatory and degenerative arthropathies. This article discusses the use of MR imaging for evaluation of various inflammatory conditions of the hip, both infectious and noninfectious. The number of hip prostheses is increasing, and inflammatory conditions involving the postoperative hip is also detailed separately.
