osteochondrosis/edema

Bone marrow edema (BME) syndrome represents a pathologic accumulation of interstitial fluid in bone - with a traumatic BME being differentiated from a non-traumatic, often ischemic, and a reactive as well as a mechanical BME. Atraumatic/ischemic BME is inconsistently described as a separate entity

OBJECTIVE To evaluate retrospectively criteria in the differential diagnosis of erosive osteochondrosis (EO) and infectious spondylitis (IS) on the basis of MRI. METHODS T1-weighted sagittal images before and after Gd-DTPA application, T2-weighted TSE or T-STIR images of 23 patients with proven 15

Pathogenically the erosive intervertebral osteochondrosis is the destructive form of the intervertebral osteochondrosis. This paper aims to define this acute variant by means of diagnostic criteria. In differential diagnosis a spondylodiscitis, an ankylosing spondylitis, a destructive

OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in young adults with symptomatic Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) and compare those in young adults without OSD. METHODS We compared MRI findings between young adults with OSD (OS group, n=30) and the equivalent number of

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to clarify the nature of Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) using MR images. METHODS Thirty boys (40 knees) with OSD diagnosed by clinical symptoms and signs were investigated with MRI. Longitudinal evaluation was undertaken in 22 patients and the mean follow-up

Few cases of intermediate cuneiform osteochondrosis have been described in the literature. In this report we present a case of a 9-year-old boy with a 2-month history of right foot pain and edema, especially near the third metatarsal, without previous trauma. Also, there were no signs of

We present multimodality imaging features of an ischial tuberosity apophysitis in a 13-year-old boy who was an active baseball pitcher. Roentgenography of the pelvis and computed tomography showed mild irregularity in the inferior margin of the left ischial tuberosity. T1-weighted MRI showed a wide

Bone marrow edema of the knee joint is a frequent clinical picture in MR diagnostics. It can be accompanied by symptoms and pain in the joint. Diseases that are associated with bone marrow edema can be classified into different groups. Group 1 includes vascular ischemic bone marrow edema with

This paper was aimed at estimating sonographic (US) accuracy in patients with clinical suspicion of Osgood-Schlatter's disease. This disease affects the patellar tendon in its attachment to the tibial tuberosity; boys are affected more frequently than girls, and during adolescence. Its pathognomic

A 16-year-old high school baseball pitcher with a 3-week history of acute-onset pain in his medial elbow during throwing presented to physical therapy. Following examination, physical therapy was initiated and the patient was referred for imaging, with suspicion of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL)

BACKGROUND Van Neck disease (VND) is a benign skeletal abnormality of children involving a hyperostosis of the ischiopubic synchondrosis (IPS) seen on radiographs. Patients typically complain of vague groin or buttock pain. Few descriptions of this disorder exist and it easily can be mistaken for

Overuse injuries are common in elite adolescent athletes due to intensive training demands. Overuse injuries of the olecranon have been divided into true stress fractures and osteochondroses. This article presents a third overuse injury, painful intraosseous edema, in elite adolescent athletes.

X-ray and MRI differences of calcaneal epiphysis between Sever's disease patients and normal children were compared and analyzed to raise awareness of Sever's disease. A total of 98 children with Sever's disease were enrolled in the study, including 72 males and 26 females. Among them, 6 patients

Osteochondral injuries are an important type of musculoskeletal trauma that can lead to disabling arthritis if not recognized and treated appropriately in the early stages. The anatomic configuration and biomechanical function of a joint are important for understanding its particular pattern of

METHODS A 68-year-old woman with known degenerative joint disease suffered from increasing neck pain. Physical examination revealed painfully restricted movement of the cervical spine. METHODS Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein were increased. Tests for rheumatoid factors,
