Q

1 - Describe the radiographic findings?

2 - Give 3 different differentials.

3 - Choose one and outline your reasoning behind your diagnosis and radiographic findings.

A

1 -

Osteopaenia (widespread) enlargement of bones and epiphysis regions.

Eggshell thin cortices

Reactive sclerosis

Increased soft tissue density

Pseudocysts

Erosive changes - anteroinferior and posterosuperior calcaneus = interruption to cortices

2 -

Charcots joint

JRA

Osteogenesis imperfecta

Haemophilia

3 -

Juvenile RA - Causes enlargement of the epiphyseal regions. Also results in osteopaenia due to disuse or medications. Cortical thinning

Haemophilia - Juxtaarticular osteopaenia, haemarthrosis could cause the osteopaenia, joint disorganisation, cortical thinning, osteophytes.

Normal finding

Severs

19

2 - How might the patient present in the clinic?

A

1 - Hiatal hernia

2 - heart burn, chest pain, dysphagia, loss of weight, anorexia, reflux

20
Q
  1. What is the diagnosis
  2. What is the arrow pointing at?
  3. What is the common age bracket for this patients condition?
  4. Any other radiographic findings?
A
  1. Perthes or Dwarfism
  2. Sagging rope sign - intertrochanteric line
  3. 3-12
  4. Buttressing of femoral head, mushroom cap deformity, coxa magna, coxa vara
21
Q
  1. What is this congenital malformation called?
  2. Is it clinically significant?
    3.
A
  1. Pectus carinatum
  2. Yes, the restriction of the ribs could alter lung capacity - low tidal volume predisposes to pneumonia
22

  2. What is the condition?
A
  1. Flattened pelvis (champagne glass pelvis), mushroom cap femoral head, coxa magna, enlargement of lesser trochanter, diverticuli
  2. Dwarfism

CT bone window axial and coronal

Rotator cuff

Teres major

Levator scapulae

Latissimus dorsi

Trapezius

Deltoid

Pec minor

Omohyoid

24
Q

This is the L4/5 disc space

  1. Which nerve root is displaced?
  2. What reflexes would be affected
  3. What muscles are affected by this nerve root?
  4. What is A, B, C and D
A
  1. L5
  2. Achilles
    • gluteus maximus muscle mainly S1.
    • gluteus medius muscle.
    • gluteus minimus muscle.
    • tensor fasciae latae.
    • tibialis anterior.
    • tibialis posterior.
    • extensor digitorum brevis.
    • extensor hallucis longus.
  4. A = left L4 nerve root, B = right common iliac artery, C = Colon, D = facet
25
Q
  1. What is the arrow pointing at?
  2. Is this clinically significant?
  3. Provide 1 other radiographic finding?
  4. What is the type of study?
A
  1. Bakers cyst
  2. Can be painful and cause decreased ROM, and can also burst and cause a lot of pain. Can also cause pain with movement.
  3. Increased fluid in the lateral femoral condyle
