Hip MRI findings and outcomes following Imaging-Guided hip injections.

CONCLUSION: Cartilage defects and marrow abnormalities were not associated with outcomes. Patients with a normal labrum in the posterosuperior quadrant had better outcomes at 1 week. Patients with labral degeneration of the anteroinferior quadrant had higher levels of pain reduction at all time points. Females were significantly more likely to report PGIC 'improvement'.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: A significant treatment outcome was observed amongst gender, although there were no significant differences in the MRI findings.
