📌 Subchondral Insufficiency Fracture (SIF)
✅ MRI Findings
Subchondral Insufficiency Fracture (SIF) is characterized by a hypointense line that is irregular, sometimes discontinuous, or open-ended in the subarticular marrow at a variable distance from the epiphyseal surface.
This line is often curvilinear or parallel to the subchondral bone plate and represents the subchondral fracture callus and granulation tissue.
✅ Prognostic Value on MR Images and Radiographs
★ The prognosis of SIF can be determined by evaluating the location, size, and morphologic features on MR images and radiographs. Key indicators of high-grade lesions include:
Medial meniscus posterior root tears with associated moderate to severe extrusion.
High-grade chondrosis.
Larger lesion sizes (anteroposterior/transverse).
Articular surface collapse.
★ Improvement of bone marrow edema (BME) on follow-up imaging highly predicts low-grade disease.
✅ Key Takeaways
SIF is indicated by an irregular hypointense line in the subarticular marrow.
Prognostic factors include lesion location, size, and morphology.
Larger lesion dimensions suggest a worse prognosis.
Improvement in BME is a positive indicator for low-grade SIF.
