- Ages Any age
- All sexes
- Healthy volunteers accepted
- Child, Adult, Older adult
Study population: the study population will consist of patients presenting with hip pain who are referred for MRI evaluation of the hip. patients of all age groups and both sexes will be eligible for inclusion. the study will assess MRI findings and characterize the underlying abnormalities associated with hip pain, including osseous, articular, and periarticular soft tissue abnormalities. patients with MRI contraindications or technically inadequate examination will be excluded.
Who may be able to join
- Patients of any age and sex.
- Patients complaining of hip pain.
- Patients fit for MRI examination.
Who cannot join
- Patients with contraindications to MRI (e.g. pacemakers, cochlear implants).
- Claustrophobic patients who cannot tolerate MRI examination.
- Patients with renal impairment contraindicating contrast administration (if contrast is needed).

About this study
To evaluate the role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the assessment and diagnosis of patients presenting with hip pain.
Read the detailed description
The hip joint is a deep ball-and-socket synovial joint formed by the articulation between the femoral head and the acetabulum, supported by the labrum, ligaments, and surrounding musculature. This structural complexity makes clinical evaluation alone insufficient for identifying the underlying pathology. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has emerged as a key imaging modality for comprehensive assessment of both normal anatomy and pathological conditions affecting the hip joint

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| patients with hip pain | no intervention, participants will undergo MRI examination for assessment of hip pain and identification of underlying hip abnormalities |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Diagnostic yield of MRI in identifying the underlying cause of hip pain.
Proportion of patients in whom MRI identifies a specific structural or pathological abnormality that may explain the presenting hip pain, including labral tears, cartilage abnormalities, femoroacetabular impingement, avascular necrosis, stress/insufficiency fractures, bone marrow edema, osteoarthritis, joint effusion/synovitis, tendinopathy, bursitis, and other periarticular soft-tissue abnormalities.
Measured: At the time of MRI examination
Secondary outcomes (2)
Distribution of MRI-detected pathologies in patients presenting with hip pain.
Frequency and type of abnormalities detected by MRI, categorized into osseous, articular, labral, synovial, muscular, tendinous, bursal, and other soft-tissue abnormalities.
Measured: at the time of MRI examination
Correlation between MRI findings and clinical presentation.
Assessment of the association between MRI abnormalities and clinical characteristics, including age, sex, laterality, duration and characteristics of hip pain, and relevant clinical diagnosis.
Measured: At the time of MRI examination.
