MSK Flashcards
Crescent sign
Osteonecrosis
FICAT staging of AVN
I - normal XR, abnormal line of demarcation on MRI
II - trabecular changes, patchy sclerosis and lucency
III - segmental flattening
IV - secondary OA
SLAP lesion
Dx criteria
labral tear
superior labrum anterior - posterior to biceps anchor
High SI perpendicular to biceps tendon ( normal sublabral sulcus is parallel to biceps anchor)
Linear high signal which extends posterior to labrum.
ABCDES approach to joints
Alignment Bone density Cartilage/joint space Distribution Erosion Soft tissues
Psoriatic arthritis

6-8w
Acute (24-48hrs) : ST swelling, loss of fat plane
7-10 days : intramedullary destruction
2-4 weeks : cortical destruction, endosteal scalloping, periosteal reaction
6-8 weeks : sequestrum, involucrum (reactive new bone beneath elevated periosteum)
Sclerosing osteomyelitis
Osteomyelitis of Garre
Subacute form
Extensive diaphyseal sclerotic lesions
