Tarsal Coalition
Mulitple Hereditary exostosis
Multiple hereditary exostosis
Osteopetrosis
Osteosclerosis + alternating radiolucent bands +metaphyseal widening = osteopetrosis.
Osteopetrosis
Osteosclerosis + alternating radiolucent bands +metaphyseal widening = osteopetrosis.
Unicameral bone cyst
Unicameral bone cysts are most common in the proximal humerus and femur.
The fallen-fragment sign confirms the cystic nature of this lesion.
Intraosseous lipoma
A lytic lesion with a thin, sclerotic border and central calcification (especially within the calcaneus) represents an intraosseous lipoma until proven otherwise.
Ave size = 4 cm
Non Ossifying Fibroma
Eccentric, well-defined, lucent lesion in a young asymptomatic patient is most likely an FCD or NOF
Osteoid Osteoma
Pain that is worse at night and relieved by salicylates is characteristic of osteoid osteoma.
Radiolucent nidus
Enhancing region on MRI
Pigmented Villonodular synovitis
e hemosiderin deposits, generally have low signal intensity on T1- and
T2-weighted MR images - seen also in hemophilia
“chocolate” effusion
Bony Bankart lesion of the shoulder with
an associated Hill–Sachs deformity of the humeral head caused by anterior glenohumeral dislocation
Traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder
Posterolateral humeral head compression fracture (Hill-Sachs deformity)
Kienbock disease (lunatomalacia)
sclerosis of the lunate, especially
when associated with negative ulnar variance, is highly
suggestive of Kienböck disease.
Deep lateral sulcus sign
ACL injury
Osteochondritis dissecans (osteochondrosis) of the medial femoral condyle
An osteochondral fracture that was initially caused by shearing, rotatory, or
tangentially aligned impaction forces
semicircular lucency, with an adjacent bony fragment,
on the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle
(arrows)
Encircling fluid or focal cystic areas between the medullary canal and the fragment on MRI suggests a potentially loose or unstable fragment.
Segond fracture
Avulsion Fracture - lateral tibial plateu
90% ACL tear association
Os acromale
The normal ossification center of the acromion fuses before 25 years of age.
