Objective: Radiographs are first-line imaging in ankle trauma but lack sensitivity to detect ligamentous injuries and undisplaced fractures. Our hypothesis was that ankle injuries occur in predefined sequences along two osteoligamentous rings, so that occult injuries non-visible on initial radiographs can be predicted. We, therefore, aimed to validate a ring model of progressive damages in the interpretation of ankle trauma radiographs.

- The study assessed the accuracy of on-call radiology residents when interpreting brain and spine MRI exams, finding that overall discrepancies were low but some serious mistakes occurred, particularly among second-year residents.
- During the analysis of 328 MRI scans over 13 months, level 2 and level 3 errors (important and major corrections) were noted, with a 16% overall discrepancy rate and a 5.5% rate for major errors.
- Most significant errors related to cerebrovascular issues, and while senior residents performed better than second-year residents, the overall high accuracy suggests that many exams were interpreted correctly without major clinical consequences.
Introduction: A De Garengeot hernia is a rare form of femoral hernia, where the appendix is found in the herniated sac. This feature is important to report, as both the diagnosis and the treatment are quite challenging in this particular condition.
Presentation Of Case: We report the case of a 77-year-old female presenting with a femoral hernia, containing an incarcerated necrotic vermiform appendix (De Garengeot hernia).
