MRI study of hip joints shows: Avascular necrosis involving bilateral capital femoral epiphysis. Modified Kerboul method is used for prediction of collapse in femoral head osteonecrosis by volumetric analysis on MRI. HOW IS IT CALCULATED ? The arc of the femoral surface involved by necrosis measured by angles on midcoronal (A) and midsagittal image (B) and then modified Kerboul angle (A+B) calculated by the sum of the two angles for both the joints.
