Article Synopsis
- Rib injuries can result from blunt or penetrating trauma and require radiologists to identify not only the fractures but also potential organ injuries and complications that need urgent care.
- Different types of rib fractures include stress, buckle, nondisplaced, displaced, segmental, and pathologic, with serious conditions like flail chest and nonaccidental trauma in children needing special attention.
- Rib fractures can lead to severe issues such as hemothorax and pulmonary contusions; therefore, effective management focuses on pain relief and addressing complications to improve patient outcomes.
Metallic artifact at orthopedic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging continues to be an important problem, particularly in the realm of total joint arthroplasty. Complications often follow total joint arthroplasty and can be expected for a small percentage of all implanted devices. Postoperative complications involve not only osseous structures but also adjacent soft tissues-a highly problematic area at MR imaging because of artifacts from metallic prostheses.
