"The double line sign is a pathognomonic MRI finding seen at the periphery of a region of osteonecrosis or bone infarct, representing the border between the viable and non-viable bone 4. It is best seen on T2 and T2 FS sequences and consists of two serpentine lines: an inner bright line representing reparative granulation tissue and an outer dark line representing adjacent sclerotic bone. The outer line is always continuous, while the inner line can be discontinuous or absent 4. This sign is reported in up to 80-85% of cases 3,5."
