“…The majority of publications report BMES of the hip or, less frequently, the knee. Several authors have reported a relationship between transient BME and avascular necrosis [2,[24][25][26], but the incidence of progression from BME to avascular necrosis is still unclear. Furthermore there is still controversy as to whether ischemic BMES reflects a distinct self-limiting disease [27,28] or a kind of reflex sympathetic dystrophy [29,30].…”

“…Some authors have reported good results with core decompression. This surgical method has been recommended for rapid and complete reduction of symptoms, with a return to normal MRI patterns [2,22,25], and is based on the theory that pain in BME and avascular necrosis is caused by increased intramedullar pressure. Although this treatment has a low rate of complications and can be performed as an outpatient procedure, up to six weeks of partial or complete weight bearing are recommended, sometimes followed by physiotherapy.…”

“…In the past, both the existence of symptoms conventionally designated as THO but without radiological evidence of osteopenia [9,18,19], as well as symptoms of radiological osteopenia but progressing to avascular necrosis of the femoral head have been described [8,17,18]. With the availability of supplementary MRI studies to aid establishing a diagnosis, we propose that bone marrow Oedema syndrome (BMOS) would be a more appropriate nomenclature.…”

“…MRI shows either a migratory or heterogeneous pattern [7,8]. A third variant includes bone marrow edema found in avascular necrosis of the femoral head [18], in Sudeck's disease, osteomyelitis, stress fractures [17] and neoplastic infiltration. We consider that THO should be renamed bone marrow oedema syndrome (BMOS), and that MRI should play an essential part as the diagnosis must still be established by exclusion.…”

“…These have given rise to different names and descriptions of which transient osteoporosis, regional migrational osteoporosis, migrational osteolysis, transient hip demineralization, regional transient osteoporosis and bone marrow Oedema syndrome (BMOS) are among the more common. Ten possible causal mechanisms have been proposed [3,7,11,15,17,18], and the treatment is usually symptomatic [6]. However, recent reports [5,8,9] have suggested a significant improvement after drilling of the femoral head.…”

We report four cases of transient hip osteoporosis studied between 1995 and 1997. All patients were men. The diagnosis was based on clinical symptoms, absence of abnormal laboratory tests, increased uptake in the femoral head and neck on Tc-99 bone scans and magnetic resonance imaging showing Oedema of the bone marrow. In three patients radiographs showed osteopenia of the head and neck of the involved femur, whereas no major radiographic changes were seen in the fourth patient. The clinical symptoms lasted 7 months and there was no recurrence after 8-24 months' follow-up.Résumé Quatre cas d' Ostéoporose Transitoire de la Hanche ont été étudiés entre 1995 et 1997. Le diagnostic a été retenu sur des arguments cliniques, l'absence d'anomalies dans les analyses et l'existence d'une hypercaptation gammagraphique homogène à la tête et au col du fémur ainsi que sur un patron d'oedème de la moelle osseuse en Résonance Magnétique. Dans un cas, la radiologie conventionelle a été normale pendant tout le processus tandis que les trois autres cas ont présenté une ostéoporose radiologique depuis la tête du fémur jusqu'à la zone trochantérienne. La dureé de la symptomatologie a été de 7 mois. Il ne s'est pas produit de récurrence locale après un suivi de 8-24 mois.

We applied dual-flex coils in a phased-array configuration to obtain high resolution MR images of the bilateral hips and compared the image quality with non-phased-array imaging. Multiple fast spin-echo images of both hips were obtained in a single acquisition. Two consecutive acquisitions with and without phased-array capability were performed in 22 hips and a fluid-filled phantom. The signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) enhancement values were calculated. Subjective image analysis was also obtained from three independent reviewers. High quality MR images were obtained using dual-array coils with a S/N enhancement value of 1.40 for a phantom and 1.83 to 2.22 for subject hips. On subjective analysis, the dual array enhanced delineation of the acetabular labrum, articular cartilage, and retained fluid. The dual array may be of diagnostic value with a higher S/N enhancement and subjective superiority of the images obtained.
