We are currently in the process of obtaining radiographic and clinical long-term follow-up data in order to determine the effectiveness of this procedure in halting or preventing the development of osteoarthritis of the hip. Application of delayed gadolinium enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) to assessing early osteoarthritis in dysplastic hips In early osteoarthritis, the charge extracellular matrix is degraded and lost. The delayed gadolinium enhanced MRI of cartilage technique is designed to indirectly measure the early loss of charge density in cartilage. For additional information on this study (pdf).
