Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle (PCC) is a rare affection, that can be diagnosed at birth and represent a disturbance of union of the ossification centers. It's more common in girls and in the right side. This study objectives to proceed a revision about the subject, that was searched in online database of LILACS and MEDLINE. We found 56 articles till present data. Besides be a bit in...

Normal variations in anatomy in the skeletally immature patient may be mistaken for fracture or injury due to the presence of secondary centers of ossification. Variations in imaging exist from patient to patient based on sex, age, and may even vary from one extremity to the other on the same patient. Despite differences in the appearance of the bony anatomy of the elbow there are certain landm...

PurposeThe purposes of this study are to determine the prevalence 4 different types acetabular rim ossifications, including partial labral ossification or punctate calcification, true os acetabuli, stress fracture, and complete ossification, whether periacetabular ossifications linked demographic radiological factors.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed medial records patients presenting for hip-...

The coracoid process is a part of the scapula and plays an important role in shoulder function. The present case demonstrates bilateral separation of the coracoid processes from the scapular bodies. The cause of this condition was thought to be a failure of fusion of the ossification centers of the coracoid processes with the scapular bodies. Bilateral unfused coracoid processes was identified ...

The computed tomographic (CT) appearance of unfused ossicles in the lumbar spine has had little attention. Unfused ossicles result from accessory ossification centers near the tip of the vertebral processes. Their main importance lies in distinguishing them from fractures. The CT appearance of unfused ossicles in the lumbar spine was correlated with that of the corresponding surface anatomy fro...
