The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy of MR imaging of the healthy and the arthrotically altered articular hip cartilage with in vivo and in vitro separation of femoral head cartilage and acetabular cartilage. ⋯ Using these MR-examinations, an improved imaging of early stage arthrotic cartilage defects is possible, and the status of the arthrotic hip cartilage with regard to intertrochanteric osteotomy can also be assessed.
