The purpose of this exhibit is to make radiologists and clinicians aware of the different disease entities, which involve avascular necrosis. Additionally, we will discuss the different locations in which avascular necrosis can occur and the different pathogenic mechanisms which contribute. Avascular necrosis has a wide variety of etiologies and can affect nearly every bone in the human body. Many sites of involvement are given eponyms associated with the corresponding area. These sites are to be discussed individually, as many have unique clinical and prognostic features. We aim to educate radiologists and clinicians regarding the imaging characteristics of avascular necrosis in the various diseases discussed. Read More

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the leading cause of hip disease in infants. AVN is a potential complication of treatment for DDH, which is traditionally diagnosed on follow-up pelvic radiographs. But classic radiographic findings of AVN may be radiographically-occult for months to years after surgery. To investigate the performance of gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head following surgical hip reduction for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) using qualitative and quantitative methods.
