Objective: Unenhanced MRI, indirect MR arthrography, direct MR arthrography, and CT arthrography are each currently used to evaluate patients with recurrent knee pain after meniscus surgery. The purpose of this study is to review the evidence for the use of these examinations in patients with suspected recurrent meniscus tear.
Conclusion: Direct and indirect MR arthrography are superior to conventional MRI for the assessment of the postoperative meniscus after meniscus repair or partial meniscectomy involving more than 25% of the meniscus.

Femoral head decentration on hip MRI: comparison between imaging planes, methods of contrast administration, and hip deformities.
Insights Imaging
August 2024
Department of Diagnostic-, Interventional-, and Pediatric Radiology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse 20, 3010, Bern, Switzerland.
Objectives: To compare the prevalence of femoral head decentration (FHD) on different MR imaging planes in patients undergoing direct/indirect hip MR arthrography (MRA) with asymptomatic controls and to evaluate its association with osseous deformities.
Methods: IRB-approved retrospective single-center study of symptomatic hips undergoing direct or indirect hip MRA at 3 T. Asymptomatic participants underwent non-contrast hip MRI at 3 T.
Non-invasive electroarthrography measures cartilage in live horses and correlates to direct measurements of cartilage streaming potentials in weight bearing regions of equine metacarpophalangeal joints.

Comparative Orthopaedic Research Laboratory, Department of Clinical Studies, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada.
Objective: To perform non-invasive Electroarthrography (EAG) on live horses and establish relationships between EAG and direct measurements of cartilage streaming potentials in weight bearing areas of the equine metacarpophalangeal joint.
Design: EAG was performed bilaterally on the metacarpophalangeal joints of live horses (n = 3). Separate experiments used metacarpophalangeal joint explants (n = 11) to measure EAG obtained during simulated loading followed by direct measurements of cartilage streaming potentials on joint surfaces using the Arthro-BST probe.
Does the dGEMRIC Index Recover 3 Years After Surgical FAI Correction and an Initial dGEMRIC Decrease at 1-Year Follow-up? A Controlled Prospective Study.
Am J Sports Med
June 2023
Department of Diagnostic, Interventional and Paediatric Radiology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
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.
Delaminated Tears of the Rotator Cuff: MRI Interpretation with Clinical Correlation.

(1) Background: A delaminated tear is described as a horizontal split in the tendon substance. This review summarizes the clinical and radiologic characteristics of delaminated tears of the rotator cuff. (2) Methods: Initial radiological characteristics of a delaminated tear include the horizontal component of a partial-thickness tear determined using magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography.
