The peroneal muscles play a critical role in controlling the dynamic stability of the lateral ankle complex and maintaining proprioception of the foot independent of the integrity of the lateral ankle ligaments [ 1 , 2 ]. Peroneal tendon injuries …
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a common condition in clinical practice and a major cause of chronic low back pain in adults [ 1 , 2 ]. The intervertebral disc consists of the nucleus pulposus at the core, the surrounding annulus …
Radiographs (Fig. 1 A and B) and MR images (Fig. 2 A and B) reveal an intramedullary mass exhibiting nearly circumferential extension of tumor and extra-osseous matrix located at the distal femoral metadiaphysis. The more proximal femur, partially …
Arthritis of the appendicular skeleton encompasses various inflammatory and degenerative joint diseases, where active inflammation in the soft tissues and bones significantly affects patients’ quality of life and prognosis. Therefore, effective …
MRI of the knee is commonly employed to assess internal derangement, causes of pain, and characterization of radiographically encountered abnormalities [ 1 ]. The unparalleled soft tissue contrast, high diagnostic performance, and the absence of …
We report a complex case detailing a patient with an anterior shoulder dislocation, with an associated, severe, massive rotator cuff tear (MRCT), further complicated by an unusual occurrence of a posterior long head biceps tendon (LHBT) …
Localized scleroderma, or morphea, is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder characterized by skin and soft tissue thickening due to excess collagen deposition. Subtypes include circumscribed, generalized, linear, pansclerotic, and mixed forms [ …
Lipomatous soft tissue tumors are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms [ 1 ]. Most of which are lipomas and do not need further interventional procedures, unless symptomatic or for cosmetic reasons [ 2 ]. Even if they are deep seated with larger …
Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are a common consequence of osteoporosis, with significant clinical and economic implications [ 1 – 3 ]. Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are minimally invasive procedures widely employed to alleviate pain [ 4 …
Reactive arthritis, initially described at the beginning of the twentieth century, is characterized by a sterile articular inflammation occurring several days to weeks after a bacterial gastrointestinal or urogenital infection. The most common …
Magnetic resonance imaging of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) is now frequently performed to detect subchondral inflammatory and structural changes in patients with early axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). However, similar changes can also occur in …
Lipomas and low-grade (grade 1) or well-differentiated liposarcomas (WDLPS) often appear similar on conventional ultrasound and MRI, posing a diagnostic challenge. Lipomas are benign adipose tumours without cellular atypia and are the most common …
Superficial acral fibromyxoma (SAFM) is a rare benign, slow-growing soft-tissue neoplasm with a predilection for the periungual or subungual regions of the fingers and toes. Although the histopathological and clinical features of SAFM have been …
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the hip joint and pelvis has gained increased importance over the last decade and readily depicts abnormalities of the hip joint and the adjacent osseous structures [ 1 – 3 ]. In MRI examinations of the hip and …
The glenohumeral ligaments (GHLs) are integral components of the shoulder joint, providing both static and dynamic stability by reinforcing the joint capsule and limiting excessive motion [ 1 ]. These ligaments—classified classically as superior …
Osteoblastomas are rare, benign, bone-forming tumors, most commonly appearing in the axial skeleton. Osteoblastomas arising in the skull are even rarer and tend to originate in the temporal and frontal bones, with involvement of the sphenoid bone …
The worldwide obesity pandemic has contributed to the rising incidence of osteoarthritis (OA), and weight loss is considered central in the non-surgical management of knee OA in obese patients, as it has been shown to have beneficial effects on …
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into the field of musculoskeletal (MSK) radiology, from research methods to routine clinical practice. Within the field of fracture detection, AI is allowing for precision and speed …
