MSK Flashcards
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.
Luxatio Erecta
Fixed elevated position fo the arm - Inferior shoulder subluxation
Brachial plexus and axillary artery injury
Lisfranc fracture-dislocation, homolateral
Common in diabetic neutropathy
Lack of parallel alignment of the medial aspects of the second cuneiform and second metatarsal - most important finding
Gout
Erosions with sclerotic borders and overhanging margins with preservation of the articular space + soft tissue swelling
Most common bursa - olecranon
Bilateral - indication of gout
Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
Subperiosteal resorption along the radial aspects of
the second and third middle phalanges of the hand is
diagnostic of hyperparathyroidism.
Paget’s Disease
Characteristic, but not entirely pathognomonic, patterns of Paget disease include the flame-shaped lucency within the long bones, the “ivory” and “picture
frame” vertebral body, and osteoporosis circumscripta or cotton-wool appearance of the skull
Medial meniscal cyst
Maffucci syndrome (i.e., multiple enchondromatosis with soft-tissue hemangiomas)
Multiple enchondromas + soft tissue hemangiomas
Erosive osteoarthritis (EOA)\
Central articular erosions (i.e., “gull wing” or “seagull”
erosions), ankylosis, and osteoporosis are typical for
EOA and uncommon in primary osteoarthritis.
