Impingement is a clinical syndrome of chronic pain and restricted range of movement caused by compression of abnormal bone or soft tissue within the ankle joint. It usually occurs following a sprain injury or repetitive microtrauma causing haemorrhage, synovial hyperplasia, and abnormal soft tissue interposition within the joint. MR imaging is particularly valuable in being able to detect not only the soft tissue and osseous abnormalities involved in these syndromes, but also a wide variety of other potential causes of ankle pain and instability that also may need to be addressed clinically.

Objectives: To characterize the radiological findings of desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF).
Methods: This two-institution retrospective study included 152 patients with pathologically confirmed DF who underwent computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/CT between January 2001 and February 2024. Two board-certified radiologists independently evaluated the CT, MRI, and FDG-PET/CT findings, and a third board-certified radiologist resolved discrepancies.

Background: Effects of upper facial aging can present as static forehead and periorbital rhytids as well as soft tissue volume loss. The latter can prompt in conjunct with bony changes of the calvaria eyebrow and eyelid ptosis. Injection-based treatments can yield positive outcomes but are not free of procedural risks.

Objectives: To clinically evaluate the outcomes following surgical coverage of single peri-implant mucosal recessions in the aesthetic maxillary area by means of the modified coronally advanced tunnel (MCAT) and subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG).
Materials And Methods: Eleven systemically healthy non-smoking patients (8 females) each presenting a single peri-implant mucosal recession in the anterior maxillary region were consecutively treated with MCAT in conjunction with SCTG. In all cases, the facial recession was associated with an impaired aesthetic appearance.

Aim: To compare the histological structure of biopsies from the anterior and posterior regions of the human palate in order to gain insights into potential differences of soft tissue harvesting sites.
Methods: This comparative study involved 20 participants, from each of whom four samples from the palatal mucosa were collected. The biopsies were histologically processed and subsequently analysed.

Volumetric muscle loss (VML) refers to muscle tissue loss exceeding 20% within a functional area due to trauma or surgery, often leading to physical disabilities. VML treatment relies on the transplantation of autologous flaps harvested from a healthy-donor site while minimizing the probability of immune rejection. However, this approach often leads to donor-site morbidity and relies on a restricted supply of muscle tissue.
