Diagnostic performance of arthrographic and non-arthrographic MRI in detecting hip labral tears has been well studied in adults but remains relatively unexplored in pediatric patients. Particularly, it is unclear if one protocol is better suited for individuals with pre-existing hip pathology (defined in this study as hip dysplasia, femoroacetabular impingement, or Perthes) that predisposes to labral abnormalities, compared to acquired or traumatic hip pathology. Thus, we aimed to compare performance of non-arthrographic and arthrographic MRIs for identifying labral tears in children with and without underlying hip abnormalities. Read More
