Abstract
This article addresses imaging features of epiphyseal osteonecrosis that have been highlighted by the use of magnetic resonance imaging, including better depiction of marrow infarcts, better knowledge of their natural history, and better understanding of the different patterns of epiphyseal osteonecrosis. Imaging features that enable differentiation between irreversible lesions, including epiphyseal osteonecrosis and rapidly progressive osteoarthritis, and spontaneously transient lesions, including transient osteoporosis and epiphyseal fractures, are emphasized.
