Abstract

[Indexed for MEDLINE] 5. Eur J Radiol. 2012 Dec;81(12):3802-12. doi: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2011.03.103. Epub 2011 May 6. Imaging of hip arthroplasty. Miller TT(1). Author information: (1)Department of Radiology and Imaging, Hospital for Special Surgery, 535 E. 70th Street, New York, NY 10021, United States. millertt@hss.edu The imaging evaluation of the prosthetic hip begins with radiography, but arthrography, aspiration, scintigraphy, sonography, CT and MR imaging all have roles in the evaluation of the painful prosthesis. This article will review the appearance of normal hip arthroplasty including hemiarthroplasty, total arthroplasty, and hip resurfacing, as well as the appearances of potential complications such as aseptic loosening and osteolysis, dislocation, infection, periprosthetic fracture, hardware failure, and soft tissue abnormalities.
