1. To discuss an appropiate MR protocol with tips to reduce susceptibility artefacts caused by metallic components. 2. To explain limitations and usefulness of MRI in assessing complications of hip arthroplasty. 3. To review the pathophysiology of the appearance of wear-synovitis, induced periprostethic resorption and osteolysis 4. To show the MR imaging findings of complications of hip arthroplasty.

Tips to reduce susceptibility artefacts caused by metallic components. Proposed MRI protocol for hip arthroplasty. Pathophysiology of the appearance of wear-synovitis, induced periprostethic resorption and osteolysis. MRI findings of complications of hip arthroplasty including peryprostetic bone resorption and osteolysis with and without loosening, wear-induced synovitis, infection and abscesses, mechanical overload changes, periprostetic collections / ALVAL lesions, heterotopic ossification, bursal and tendinous abnormalities. Value of intravenous contrast injection in the MRI diagnosis of complications associated to hip arthroplasty.
