Abstract
We describe two cases of avascular necrosis after traumatic fracture of the femoral neck. The size and signal intensity of the necrotic areas changed on follow-up magnetic resonance images. Magnetic resonance imaging is suitable for showing resolvable changes that radiographic study cannot demonstrate during the clinical course.
