MRI Features and Treatment for Idiopathic Chondrolysis of the Hip (ICH) in Children: Outcomes of a Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this paper was to review the MRI features and treatment for idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip (ICH) in patients aged 18 years or less.

Methods

We included studies published in English up to August 2021. We accessed major electronic bibliographic databases on ICH that described MRI features, treatment, or both. We used the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical appraisal checklist for case reports for Risk of bias assessment.

Results

We pooled 136 hips (125 participants) from 35 studies with 11.6 ± 3.4 years mean age. We had 46, 8, and 106 hips to assess ICH's MRI, pharmacological, and operative interventions. Geometric marrow edema (GME) (P < 0.01), diffuse marrow edema (DME) (P < 0.05), diffuse cartilage loss (DCL) (P <
