» Assessment of chondral lesions begins with a clinical evaluation and radiographs. » Longitudinal follow-up with serial radiographs is appropriate in cases without evidence of aggressive radiographic features. » Concerning radiographic features include periosteal reaction, soft-tissue extension, cortical destruction, endosteal scalloping of greater than two-thirds of the native cortex, larger lesion size (≥5 cm), and location in the axial skeleton. » Biomarkers such as IMP3, SOX4, microRNA, and periostin may be used as an adjunct in histologic assessment to help differentiate benign enchondroma from a low-grade chondrosarcoma. » Advanced-imaging studies, such as computed tomography (CT), bone scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), may be considered for borderline cases. » Aggressive or concerning radiographic features should prompt evaluation with advanced imaging or referral to an orthopaedic oncologist.

Pediatr Radiol
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Genetics, Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty, 34098, Cerrahpasa, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: Heterozygous TRPV4 mutations cause a group of skeletal dysplasias characterized by short stature, short trunk, and skeletal deformities.
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the natural history of clinical and radiologic features of patients with different TRPV4-related skeletal dysplasias.
Materials And Methods: Thirteen patients with a mutation in TRPV4 were included in the study, and 11 were followed for a median of 6.
Clin Radiol
December 2024
Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Brockley Hill, Stanmore, Middlesex HA7 4LP, UK.
Aims: To describe the imaging features of patients presenting with soft tissue masses and a provisional diagnosis of soft tissue tumours, for whom biopsy confirmed the presence of necrotising granulomata consistent with tuberculoma.
Material And Methods: A review of the histopathology database for patients who had a diagnosis of necrotising granulomata in nonspinal sites. Patients with bone and joint-based pathology were excluded.

Langford Veterinary Specialists, University of Bristol, Langford, UK.
Objective: To assess the influence of age on perioperative stem-associated complications when total hip replacement (THR) was performed with a BFX lateral bolt stem.
Study Design: Retrospective (2017-2022).
Sample Population: A total of 197 client-owned dogs.

January 2025
Department of Orthopedics, the First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, Jilin Province, 130021, China.
Purpose: Identifying patients who may benefit from multiple drilling are crucial. Hence, the purpose of the study is to utilize radiomics and deep learning for predicting no-collapse survival in patients with femoral head osteonecrosis.
Methods: Patients who underwent multiple drilling were enrolled.
J Shoulder Elbow Surg
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo, SUNY, Buffalo, NY, USA.
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of glenoid and humeral component malposition in failed primary shoulder arthroplasty requiring revision. We hypothesized that glenoid and humeral component malposition would be a prevalent feature in cases requiring revision arthroplasty for primary anatomic TSA, primary RSA, and primary hemiarthroplasty procedures.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed focusing on identifying the incidence of malpositioned components in shoulder arthroplasty in quantitative and qualitative reviews.
