To highlight the utility of MR imaging in the evaluation of developmental dysplasia of the hip following surgical reduction
To illustrate the imaging appearances of the concentrically and non-concentrically reduced hip, including obstacles to and complications of reduction
Background and rationale for MR imaging
Imaging technique
Examination timing and anesthesia
Imaging parameters
Motion artifact/repetitive acquisition
Image interpretation
Concentric reduction
Ossified vs. non-ossified capital femoral epiphyses
Postsurgical changes with closed and open reduction
Osteotomy hardware
Obstacles to concentric reduction
Inverted labrum and limbus formation
Hyperterophy of the ligamentum teres/tranverse acetabular ligament
Enlarged pulvinar
Complications
Persistent dislocation
Capital femoral epiphyseal contusion
Osteonecrosis
Contrast administration and epiphyseal perfusion
Incidental pelvic pathology
Clinical and imaging follow-up
