May see bony fragment (fleck sign)! in 1st metatarsal space representing avulsion of lisfranc ligament from base of 2nd metatarsal - diagnostic. • dorsal displacement of proximal base of 1st or 2nd metatarsal on lateral view • medial side of base of 4th metatarsal doesn't line up with medial side cuboid on oblique view • disruption of medial column line (line tangential to medial aspect of navicular and medial cuneiform) on oblique view

Approach to foot xrays?
D ABCs Details: name, date, time, view, area, side, skeletal maturity Adequacy 3 views • dorsal plantar view • oblique view Lateral Alignment • second metatarsal align with intermediate cuneiform on dp /ap view (disrupt = lisfranc ) • third metatarsal align with lat cuneiform on oblique view (disrupt = lisfranc ) • fourth metatarsal medial base align with medial side cuboid on oblique • medial column line - tangential to medial navicular to medial cuneform Bones - bohler angle: angle between line from highest point of ant process of calcaneus to highest point of post facet, plus line tangential to sup edge of tuberosity. If angle <20 = calcaneal fracture. Cartilage • widening between first and second metatarsal = lisfranc Soft tissue
74
XR feature calcaneal #?
Lateral: loss Bohler angle. Line drawn from ant process calcaneus to peak of post articular surface, second line from peak post articular surface to peak post tuberosity. N= 25-40.
75
Radiographic findings of Tb spine? (5)
Early infection: involvement of ant vertebral body with sparing of disc space ``` late: • disc space destruction • lucency (black) and compression adjacent vertebral bodies • severe kyphosis (gibbus) • buckling collapse ```

Radiographic findings of lunate dislocation? (6)
Pa • Break in Gilula's arc • lunate and capitate overlap • "piece of pie" sign due to triangular appearance of lunate from palmar rotation due to dorsal force of carpus Lateral • loss saucer cup and apple sign. Aka loss colinearity of radius, lunate, capitate. • sl angle >70° • spilled teacup sign

Radiographic findings osteosarcoma? (4)
* Characteristic blastic and destructive lesion:sunburst or hair on end pattern of matrix mineralisation (spicule formation, tumour extension into periosteum) * periostea reaction (Codman's triangle) * large soft tissue shadow (mass) * destructive lesion in metaphysis may cross epiphyseal plate
86
Treatment osteosarcoma?
* complete resection - limb salvage, rarely amputation * neo-adjuvant chemo * bone scan and CT chest to rule out metastasis
