The pathology of the posterior acetabular legion in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome, so called “contre-coup region”, is still unclear. 18F-fluoride positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional imaging modality, which reflects the osteoblast activity. Recent technological advances in PET combined with computed tomography (CT) imaging allowed us to obtain detailed 3-dimensional (3D) morphological information. We evaluated the abnormal uptake of 18F-fluoride PET/CT on posterior acetabular lesion in FAI syndrome cases. We enrolled forty-one hips from 41 patients who were diagnosed as FAI syndrome and were performed 18F-fluoride PET/CT between October 2014 and October 2016. In each hip, the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) on the posterior acetabular was measured. The cases were divided into 4 groups; cam-type (11 cases), pincer-type (7), combined-type (11), dysplastic developmental hip (DDH) with cam morphology (12). The average SUVmax of the pincer-type was significantly smaller than that of the other 3 groups (p < .05). The percentage of the cases with SUVmax ≥ 6 was 81.8% in cam-type, 28.6% in pincer-type, 90.9% in combined-type, 91.7% in DDH with cam morphology. Furthermore, the average degree of α angle of the cases of SUVmax ≥ 6 was significantly higher than that of the cases of SUVmax < 6 (p = .005). Although actual biomechanical mechanism in contre-coup region is still controversial, this result indicated that the cam morphology related to the posterior acetabular lesion with accelerated bone metabolism.

In this study, we evaluated the labrum tear using radial sequence 3D Multiple Echo Recombined Gradient Echo (MERGE) MRI without arthrography based on modified Czerny's classification, comparing with actual arthroscopic findings. A total of 61 hips including 27 hips of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), 19 hips of borderline development dysplasia of the hip (BDDH) and 15 hips of early stage osteoarthritis (OA) were enrolled this retrospective study. MRI findings evaluated in each three regions of interest; anterior region, anterolateral region, and lateral region. The cases with severe degeneration that is not concordant with any original Czerny's classification is defined as stage4. We compared MRI findings with arthroscopic findings and calculated the sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratio in terms of the existence of labrum tear. MRI findings revealed labrum tear more frequently in anterolateral than lateral (p<0.001). Especially in FAI group, labrum tear was more frequently observed by MRI in anterolateral than lateral (p=0.006). In comparison with MRI findings and arthroscopic findings, the sensitivity was 97%, specificity was 79% and likelihood ratio was 4.59 as average of all regions in terms of the existence of labrum tear. In each region, sensitivity and specificity was 97% and 50% in anterior, 97% and 100% specificity in anterolateral, 94% and 81% in lateral, respectively. Thus, MERGE MRI revealed excellent sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of labrum tear, especially in anterolateral region. The cases with severely degenerated labrum were classified as newly defined stage 4, which was recognized frequently in OA cases.
