Bone scan is a well-established imaging modality in detection of osseous metastasis. However, its sensitivity decreases at evaluating lytic osseous metastasis in such entity as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Increasingly, Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) with dual-time points imaging is utilized in detection of osseous metastasis from hepatocellular car...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the occurrence of temporomandibular joint disk displacement and its correlation with pain and osseous abnormalities using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients under 21 years of age. STUDY DESIGN MRI images in open- and closed-mouth positions from 102 patients, under 21 years of age (mean age 17 years), were studied retrospectively. Patients were divided into six ...

OBJECTIVES Here, we report a case of simultaneous osseous metaplasia nodules of the submucosa and mesosalpinx after a first trimester abortion. CASE PRESENTATION A 36-year-old woman presented to the Women's Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University with vaginal bleeding and infertility resulting from osseous metaplasia nodules of the submucosa and mesosalpinx after a first trimester a...

The osseous pelvis is a well-recognized site of origin of numerous primary and secondary musculoskeletal tumors. The radiologic evaluation of a pelvic lesion often begins with the plain film and proceeds to computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and possibly biopsy. Each of these modalities, with inherent advantages and disadvantages, has a role in the workup of pelvic os...

The topic of this case report is a rare subconjuctival osseous choristoma that corresponded to the left lateral sunconjunctiva and canthus. A 20-year-old man was asymptomatic when he arrived for the examination. His full ophthalmic examination was normal. Orbital computerized tomography was concordant with osseous lesion. Osseous choristomas are the rarest forms of ocular choristomas, they are ...

We describe a new method of biological repair of osteochondral defects. In rabbit knees an osteochondral defect was reconstructed with a cab-osseous graft made of a superficial sheet of medullary fracture callus attached to a base of cancellous bone. This was taken from the iliac bone of the same animal which had been osteotomised ten days earlier. The reparative tissues were evaluated for 24 w...

Lateral patellar dislocations can damage the medial patella femoral ligament. Nonoperative care is preferred but some tears may require a surgical intervention. Patella fractures are considered a risk factor after surgery. The technique described in this Technical Note avoids any bone tunnel drilling, which may eliminate the possibility of a patella fracture. The surgical procedure uses periost...
