Abstract
Radiologic imaging is an essential supplement to the physical examination in the evaluation of a patient with femoroacetabular impingement. Plain radiographs are the initial modality of choice for the evaluation of bony anatomy and pathology. Magnetic resonance imaging supplements the physical examination and standard radiographs by enabling qualitative and quantitative evaluation of both articular cartilage and soft tissues about the hip. Magnetic resonance imaging also provides improved 3-dimensional characterization of the bony anatomy owing to the multiplanar nature of this technique. This article describes a comprehensive approach to interpretation of magnetic resonance examination of the hip.
