The significant findings in the hip PJI cases included acetabular periosteal edema, intermuscular edema, intramuscular fluid collection, and lymphadenopathy. The significant findings in the cases with surgical intervention included capsular distention, capsular thickening, a femoral osteolysis-like pattern, subcutaneous fluid collection, and lymphadenopathy. The utilization of MAR MRI demonstrated great diagnostic significance for hip PJI.
