Abstract
MR imaging is well established as the most sensitive method in the diagnosis of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (Bassett et al. 1987; Mitchell et al. 1987). In this paper preliminary results are analyzed to clarify the relation of MR changes after trauma or surgery to the vitality of bone.
