Abstract | Background: Delayed gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage (dGEMRIC) allows objective and noninvasive assessment of cartilage quality. An interim analysis 1 year after correction of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) previously showed that the dGEMRIC index decreased despite good clinical outcome. Purpose: To evaluate dGEMRIC indices longitudinally in patients who underwent FAI correction and in a control group undergoing nonoperative treatment for FAI. Study design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This prospective, comparative longitudinal study included 39 patients (40 hips) who received either operative (n = 20 hips) or nonoperative (n = 20 hips) treatment. Baseline demographic characteristics and presence of osseous deformities did not differ between groups. All patients received indirect magnetic resonance arthrography at 3 time points (baseline, 1 and 3 years of follow-up). The 3-dimensional cartilage models were created using a custom-developed deep learning-based software. The dGEMRIC indices were determined separately for acetabular and femoral cartilage. A mixed-effects model was used for statistical analysis in repeated measures. Results: The operative group showed an initial (preoperative to 1-year follow-up) decrease of dGEMRIC indices: acetabular from 512 ± 174 to 392 ± 123 ms and femoral from 530 ± 173 to 411 ± 117 ms (both Conclusion: This study showed that 3 years after FAI correction, the dGEMRIC indices improved compared with short-term 1-year follow-up. This may be due to normalized joint biomechanics or regressive postoperative activation of the inflammatory cascade after intra-articular surgery. |
