OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of MRI-guidance for core decompression of @entity2530 of the @entity2738 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve MRI-guided core decompressions were performed on @entity1 with different stages of @entity2530 of the @entity2738 . The @entity1 were asked to evaluate their @entity158 and their ability to function before and after the procedure and imaging findings were reviewed respectively. RESULTS: Technical success in reaching the target was 100  % without complications. Mean duration of the procedure itself was 54  min. All @entity1 with ARCO stage 1 @entity2530 experienced clinical benefit and pathological MRI findings were seen to diminish. @entity1 with more @entity1442 gained less, if any, benefit and total hip arthroplasty was eventually performed on four @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: MRI-guidance seems technically feasible, accurate and safe for core decompression of @entity2530 of the @entity2738 . @entity1 with early stage @entity2530 may benefit from the procedure. KEY POINTS:     MRI is a useful guidance method for minimally invasive musculoskeletal interventions.     Bone drilling seems beneficial at early stages of @entity2530 .     MRI-guidance is safe and accurate for @entity79 .
