SUBCORTICAL SUBCHONDRAL FRACTURE KNEE MRI TIBIAL PLATEAU DISCUSSION Subchondral or subcortical fractures of the knee can occur in the femoral condyles or tibial plateau. The key to the diagnosis is seeing a linear low signal line adjacent to and paralleling the cortex without any cortical defect or break in the acute phase. There is usually

ILIOTIBIAL BAND MRI ANATOMY, SYNDROME, TRAUMA Finding and assessing the Iliotibial Band (ITB) on MRI of the Knee is the first structure we assess when looking at the lateral side of the Knee. In these three posts we look at: The normal MRI anatomy of the ITB. MRI of Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITB Friction Syndrome)

SHOULDER MRI LABRUM MRI VARIANT ANATOMY There are a number of normal appearances of the Bicipito Labral Complex which can mistakenly be called tears. Here is what they are and where to look for them. (These posts are Part of our Quick Pick Series with concise information from the Journals I read). CLICK
MRI DELAMINATING ROTATOR CUFF TEARS & MUSCULOTENDINOUS JUNCTION CYSTS On MRI Rotator cuff delaminating tears can result in Musculotendinous Junction Cysts. These Musculotendinous junction cysts are seen in the rotator cuff tendons, mostly in Supraspinatus and less commonly in infraspinatus. In this post we look at the appearance of both Delaminating Rotator cuff

TIBIALIS POSTERIOR TENDINITIS TENDINOPATHY TEARS RADIOLOGY MRI WHAT ARE THE FINDINGS The tibialis posterior tendon is enlarged and increased in signal. DIAGNOSIS & DISCUSSION TIBIALIS POSTERIOR TENDINOPATHY AND PARTIAL TEAR. Tibialis posterior tendinopathy and delamination / partial tears. The normal tibialis posterior tendon should be uniformly low signal. Enlargement and or increased intermediate signal indicates

OPLL SPINE OSSIFICATION POSTERIOR LONGITUDINAL LIGAMENT CT DISCUSSION ON OPLL SPINE CT There is localised, linear ossification present at the posterior margin of the C6 vertebra. This has a typical appearance of OPLL (Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament). The cervical spine is the most common location. It is important to follow this up with

ISCHIOFEMORAL IMPINGEMENT HIP MRI RADIOLOGY ISCHIOFEMORAL IMPINGEMENT: WHY DOES IT OCCUR Ischiofemoral impingement is a result of the quadratus femoris muscle being compressed between the ischial tuberosity and the posterior femur resulting initially in quadratus femoris oedema but can progress to tears and severe atrophy. ISCHIOFEMORAL IMPINGEMENT: WHAT ARE THE FINDINGS Initially there is oedema
