Article Synopsis
- Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a noninfectious inflammatory disorder mainly affecting kids and teens, marked by episodic bone pain and a long-lasting course.
- Diagnosis typically involves excluding other conditions, often requiring bone biopsies, but in many cases, imaging can suffice if specific features are present.
- Whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) serves as a crucial tool for identifying CNO patterns, aiding in diagnosis and monitoring, and radiologists must recognize these imaging features to facilitate timely treatment and prevent lasting damage.
A Stener lesion is a displaced tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb in which the adductor pollicis aponeurosis is positioned between the retracted ligament and the injury site, preventing natural healing. This lesion was first described in 1962, and since then, both radiologists and orthopedists have considered it important to treat surgically. Although this lesion was originally described in the thumb, this injury mechanism can occur in other joints of the hand, knee, and foot.
