With the rapid development of medicine technology, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is now widely used in the treatment of endstage hip osteoarthritis, severe hip fracture, hip bone tumor, and so forth. THA can relieve hip pain and improve the activity of the joints, while it still brings some unexpected complications, such as periprothesis bone resorption, periprothesis fractures, and metallic implants dislocation. Since then, distortion-free MRI near metal, like SEMAC-VAT MR, has shown its great clinical potential in diagnosing patients treated with THA.
