Imaging of Abductor Tears: Stepwise Technique for Accurate Diagnosis

Imaging of Abductor Tears: Stepwise Technique for Accurate Diagnosis

This article presents the authors' technique for evaluation of possible abductor tears with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). By using T2 fat-saturated coronal and axial slices of the hip and T1 coronal images of the pelvis, the authors show how to visualize all tears of the abductor tendons an...
