SPICA MRI with gadolinium contrast administration is routinely performed after closed reduction for the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Quantifying the degree of femoral head enhancement and abduction angles are routinely performed to identify and stratify those patients who may be at risk for epiphyseal osteonecrosis. The purpose of our study is to evaluate predictors for epiphyseal osteonecrosis based on percentage enhancement and abduction angles evaluated based on SPICA MRI. Read More
