Bone marrow ill-defined hyperintensities with tarsal coalition: MR imaging findings.

Introduction: To report the occurrence and pattern of ill-defined subchondral hyperintensities on Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging in patients with talocalcaneal coalition (TCC).

Methods And Material: MR imaging of both feet was performed in 10 consecutive patients with 14 TCCs. There were eight males and two females with ages ranging from 9-52 years (mean 25 years).

Percutaneous nailing in the management of osteogenesis imperfecta.

Marked deformities of the skeleton may develop in the severe form of osteogenesis imperfecta. Internal fixation can be effective in the treatment and prevention of fractures and deformities. Eight years ago, axial correction of deformities of the femora and tibiae by manual osteoclasis was carried out in a 7 year old girl in whom osteogenesis imperfecta had produced severe bowing of the long bones of the legs.
