OBJECTIVE

To utilize hip MRI 3D models for demonstration of location and frequency of impingement during simulated range-of-motion in ischiofemoral impingement (IFI) compared to non-IFI hips.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Sixteen hips (N = 7 IFI, 9 non-IFI) from 8 females were examined with high-resolution MRI. We performed image segmentation and generated 3D bone models and simulated hip range-of-motion and impingement. We examined the frequency and location of bone contact in early external rotation and early extension (0-20°), isolated maximum external rotation, and isolated maximum extension. Frequency and location of impingement at varied combinations of external rotation and extension and areas of simulated bone impingement at early external rotation and extension were compared between IFI and non-IFI.

RESULTS

Higher frequency of bony impingement occurred more often in IFI hips at each simulated range-of-motion combination (P < 0.05). Impingement involved the lesser trochanter more often in IFI hips (P < 0.001) and occurred at early degrees of external rotation and extension. In isolated maximum external rotation, only the greater trochanter, intertrochanteric area, or both combined were involved, in 14%, 57%, and 29% in IFI hips. In isolated maximum extension, the lesser trochanter, intertrochanteric area, or both combined were involved in 71%, 14%, and 14% in IFI hips. The simulated area of bone impingement was significantly higher in IFI hips (P = 0.02).

CONCLUSION

Hip MRI 3D models are feasible for simulated range-of-motion and show a higher frequency of extra-articular impingement at early stages of external rotation and extension in IFI compared to non-IFI hips.
