Article Synopsis
- Stress fractures, which can be fatigue or insufficiency types, commonly cause pain in various patient groups like athletes and older individuals, and are best diagnosed using radiography as the first imaging method.
- MRI improves the detection of these fractures that might not show up on X-rays, while other techniques like nuclear medicine scintigraphy and CT can also assist in diagnosis.
- Prompt treatment is often needed to prevent incomplete fractures from worsening, especially for serious cases like femoral neck stress fractures, and accurate diagnosis is crucial to distinguish from other serious conditions, with guidelines from the American College of Radiology helping inform best practices.
Evaluation of postoperative images of any joint can be a daunting task, and the elbow is no exception. Patients may be imaged with a complication of the repair, or the postoperative changes may be incidentally observed as the patient is imaged for other reasons. We divide the postoperative elbow into soft tissue procedures (covering ligament and tendon repairs, as well as compartmental release and nerve transposition), joint-related procedures (osteochondral lesion treatment, ostectomy, and joint replacement), and bone procedures (fracture fixation).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of 105 consecutive patients with LFCIF was performed (mean age 58.1 years) after excluding post-traumatic and pathological fractures.
Unlabelled: There is an increased incidence and prevalence of arthropathy in children with Down syndrome. However, it is rarely reported or recognised at onset, and remains under-diagnosed. Children with arthropathy of Down syndrome (A-DS) are presenting with significant joint damage and disability at diagnosis.
