Fig. 1A —21-year-old male athlete with acute traumatic hip injury. Coronal
T2-weighted fat-saturated image obtained 2 hours after acute injury does not
show any bone marrow edema. Posterior labral tear was noted on axial
T2-weighted imaging (not shown).

Fig. 1B —21-year-old male athlete with acute traumatic hip injury. Coronal
T2-weighted fat-saturated image obtained 3 months after injury shows focal
area of abnormally increased T2 (arrow). Sagittal T1-weighted images
(not shown) confirmed anterior location of this signal abnormality.

Fig. 4A —Control nontraumatized swine knee. Patellar and femoral ossification
centers show high signal intensity on sagittal T1-weighted image (A)
and low signal intensity on T2-weighted fat-saturated (B) and STIR
(C) images.

Fig. 7A —Traumatized swine patella. Sagittal STIR MR images at initial 1-hour
scan (A) show edemalike signal intensity (arrow) within
patella and at 30-hour scan (B) show increased signal intensity
(arrow) within patella.

Fig. 8A —Traumatized swine patella. Sagittal STIR MR image at 1 hour after
injury shows subtle subchondral edema (arrow). This area of
abnormality increases in signal intensity by 12-hour sagittal image (B)
(arrow). In B, there is also extensive high-signal abnormality
in patella.
