Article Synopsis
- The study examines knee arthrography as a potential diagnostic tool for open knee injuries, comparing its effectiveness to the gold standard of CT scans, which have downsides like cost and radiation exposure.
- Conducted with 43 patients, the study found that CT scans diagnosed open knee injuries in 11.6% of cases, while knee arthrography showed high sensitivity (83.3%) and specificity (96.5%).
- The results suggest that knee arthrography could be a safer and more cost-effective alternative to CT scanning for diagnosing open knee injuries, especially when considering the risks of radiation.
Objective: Calcium hydroxyapatite depositional disease (HADD) is usually asymptomatic and self-limiting; however, when there is an associated inflammatory process or HADD occurs in an unusual location, it may mimic trauma, infection, or neoplasm. The purpose of this article is to review the imaging features of HADD and how to distinguish it from more worrisome entities that can have similar appearances.
Conclusion: An understanding of the presentations of HADD is important to allow early and confident diagnosis.
The flexor carpi radialis brevis (FCRB) is a rare accessory muscle of the forearm and wrist. It is typically asymptomatic, but has been discovered either incidentally during cadaveric studies or at the time of surgery in patients with distal forearm injury. Rarely, the FCRB muscle is associated with pain.
