We retrospectively reviewed patients aged 14\u201350 who underwent primary hip arthroscopy with either labral repair or reconstruction. Preoperative T2 values of femoral, acetabular, and labral tissue were assessed from MRI by blinded reviewers. International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12) scores were collected preoperatively and up to two years postoperatively. Associations between T2 values and iHOT-12 scores were analyzed using univariate mixed linear models. Twenty-nine patients were included (mean age of 32.5 years, BMI 24 kg\/m2, 48.3% female, and 22 repairs). Across all patients, higher T2 values were associated with higher iHOT-12 scores at baseline and early postoperative timepoints (three months for cartilage and six months for labrum; p &lt; 0.05). Lower T2 values were associated with higher 12- and 24-month iHOT-12 scores across all structures (p &lt; 0.001). Similar trends were observed within the repair and reconstruction subgroups, with delayed negative associations correlating with worse tissue quality. T2 mapping showed time-dependent correlations with iHOT-12 scores, indicating that worse cartilage or labral quality predicts poorer long-term outcomes. These findings support the utility of T2 mapping as a preoperative tool for prognosis in hip preservation surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jimaging11080261","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,5]],"date-time":"2025-08-05T15:56:16Z","timestamp":1754409376000},"page":"261","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Hip Labral Repair or Reconstruction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-7431-0201","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyle S.
