Article Synopsis
- Müller-Weiss disease (MWD) involves a bone dysplasia of the tarsal navicular that eventually results in asymmetric arthritis, leading to altered joint mechanics and potential misdiagnosis with conditions like avascular necrosis or stress fractures.
- Diagnosis primarily relies on standardized weight-bearing X-rays of both feet, though advanced imaging techniques may offer more details in complex cases.
- Conservative treatment with rigid insoles is effective for many, while those not responding may benefit from a calcaneal osteotomy, providing a viable alternative to various types of peri-navicular fusions.
Theranostic-based strategies, combining therapeutic and diagnostic properties of a single agent, have gained enormous attention in the past few years. Today, various multifunctional theranostic modalities have been examined, using different bioactive targeting, for the detection, quantifying, and monitoring of therapy response in different pathologies. Herein we review the newly emerging approaches in theranostic nanomedicine for the detection and therapy for musculoskeletal disorders to provide valuable insights for developing more efficient agents for clinical use.

Familiarity with the anatomy is essential for image planning and for understanding injury patterns. The more important structures are the Lisfranc ligament and the plantar ligaments that can be visualized with MR, although careful attention to technique and orientation of scan planes is required for accuracy.

Methods: A retrospective study of 28 patients who underwent a fetal MRI study for suspected congenital neurological anomalies. The diagnoses obtained by neurosonography and MRI were collected and compared.
