Nine cases were in stage I,
three were in stage II and two were in stage III. By using Fishers exact test analysis ,
three MRI criteria were statistically significant i) Geographic Rectangular Femoral head hyperintensity-(p=0.001), ii) hyperintensity in acetabulum-(p=0.004),
iii)flattening of femoral head-(p=0.011) . Findings with Significant p value in radiographic analysis were protrucio acetabuli [p=0.043] and degenerative changes [p=0.011].
Significant clinical improvement and disappearance of edema in femoral head was seen in stage I,
clinical improvement without radiological improvement was in II stage and poor prognosis noted in stage III.
