rectus femoris
inserts on patella
dorsal intercalated segment instability (DISI)
- dorsal tilt of lunate
- scapholunate angle >60deg (sign of scapholunate lig dissociation)
- capitolunate angle >30deg
- after radial sided injury (scapholunate side); assoc with SL lig injury
volar intercalated segmental instability (VISI)
- volar tilt of lunate
- scapholunate angle <30deg
- capitolunate angle >30deg
- after ulnar sided injury (lunotriquetral side); assoc with LT lig injury
- RA may result in any deformity, but esp ulnar translocation & VISI
capitolunate angle
- angle btwn long axis of capitate & mid axis of lunate
- N <30deg
- increased (capitate displaced posteriorly compared to distal radius) in both DISI and VISI (scapholunate angle used to differentiate btwn the two)
scapholunate angle
- angle btwn long axis of scaphoid & mid axis of lunate
- N 30-60deg
- increased in scapholunate dissociation
- increased in DISI (w increased capitolunate angle)
- decreased in VISI (w increased capitolunate angle)
SLAC wrist (scaphoid lunate advanced collapse)
progressive carpal collapse
1st radioscaphoid jt space narrowing, then arthrosis in triscaphe, capitolunate, & scaphocapitate jts
- d/t trauma & lig laxity: + scapholunate diastasis; radiolunate jt usu not involved
- d/t CPPD: both radioscaphoid & radiolunate jts
SNAC wrist (scaphoid non-union advanced collapse)
- progressive carpal collapse w scaphoid # nonunion
- 1st radial styloid beaking, then arthrosis in distal radioscaphoid jt, midcarpal jts
- minimal arthrosis of proximal scaphoid pole fragment-radius, radiolunate articulations
greater trochanter facets
- anterior: glut minimus
- posterior: no attachment, GT bursa
- lateral: glut medius
- superoposterior: glut medius
magic angle effect
55deg from B0, the angle at which tightly bound collagen appear hyperintense if TE is short (PD or T1W)
- mistaken for tendinopathy
- disappears on T2 or if 55deg angle is changed
osteoblastoma: comparison to osteoid osteoma
- larger >2cm
- more aggressive; unlim growth potential, malig transformation reported
- symptoms milder & more variable (even though more aggressive)
- more common in vertebra, flat bones
Sinding-Larsen-Johansson syndrome
osteochondrosis of inf pole of patella
- at insertion of prox patellar tendon
chronic traction injury of the immature osteotendinous junction
active adolescents 10-14 yo, related to Osgood-Schlatter
Sprengel deformity

cosmetic & functional (restricted motion of scapula & glenohumeral jt)
associated w:
- omovertebral bar (fibrous, cartilaginous or osseous connection btwn scapula & cspine)
