TABLE 3:
Optimal MRI Sequence Orientation to Detect Postoperative Changes in Patients
| Postoperative Change | Coronal Sequence | Sagittal Sequence | Oblique Axial Sequence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Femur débridement (n = 42) | 3 (7) | 15 (36) | 24 (57) |
| Acetabular débridement (n = 20) | 4 (20) | 16 (80) | 0 (0) |
| Acetabular chondral repair (n = 22) | 3 (14) | 19 (86) | 0 (0) |
| Labral repair surgery (n = 42) | 11 (26) | 30 (71) | 1 (2) |
| Capsular alterations (n = 26) | 1 (4) | 0 (0) | 25 (96) |
Note—Data are number (%) of patients for whom postoperative change were noted.
