MARS MRI for the Diagnosis of Aseptic Stem Loosening in Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty
MARS MRI is reproducible and accurate for assessing stem loosening. PPBR, BME, and PR can also be found in fixed THA in the proximal region, whereas they indicate loosening in the middle and distal stem region.
