General MSK Laurie Lomasney, MD Professor Department of Radiology
General MSK • Disease Categories • Arthropathy • Infection • Congenital • Vascular • Tumor • Locale • Axial • Appendicular
General MSK by Disease Category • Disease processes often follow predictable patterns of radiographic change • Disease processes usually follow particular distribution patterns • Pretest probability enhances image interpretation and directed reporting
General MSK • Disease Categories • Arthropathy • Infection • Congenital • Vascular • Tumor
Arthropathy • Characteristics • Bone density • Erosions • Alignment • Distribution • Poly vs mono • Symmetric vs asymmetric • Peripheral small vs central large
Arthropathy Rheumatoid Arthritis Periartic demin Prox/Symmetric swelling Wrist/MCP erosions Palmar/Ulnar deviat
Arthropathy Psoriasis Preserved density Asymmetric swelling Prox + Distal asymm erosions
Arthropathy Osteoarthritis Variable density No erosions Eccentric joint narrow Marginal proliferation
Arthropathy Preserved density Debris Sclerosis Malalignment Charcot Arthropathy
General MSK • Disease Categories • Arthropathy • Infection • Congenital • Vascular • Tumor
Infection • Characteristics • Periarticular demineralization • Bone erosion • Periosteal new bone • (Adjacent ST defect or Foreign body) • Distribution • Focal/monostotic vs Multifocal (uncommon)
Infection Metaphyseal osteomyelitis
Infection DIP Pyarthrosis Hip Pyarthrosis
General MSK • Disease Categories • Arthropathy • Infection • Congenital • Vascular • Tumor
Congenital • Variable appearance • Variable consequence • Incidental • Pathologic • Always • Sometimes • Unknown
Congenital • Ossification neural groove
Congenital Os Acromiale
Congenital Os tibiale externum
Congenital = 80% Narrow Bony Canal
General MSK • Disease Categories • Arthropathy • Infection • Congenital • Vascular • Tumor
Vascular (Avascular necrosis) • Multiple etiologies • Steroid therapy • Collagen vascular disease • Post-traumatic • Staged appearance • Sclerosis • Collapse • Secondary osteoarthritis
Avascular necrosis Lunate AVN
Avascular necrosis Femoral head AVN
General MSK • Disease Categories • Arthropathy • Infection • Congenital • Vascular • Tumor
Tumor • Etiologies – Multiple • Distribution – Specific to process • Axial vs appendicular • Monostotic vs polyostotic • Medullary vs eccentric • Child vs Adult
Tumor • Characteristics to observe • Well-defined vs permeative • Cortical destruction • Periosteal new bone • Internal matrix • Soft tissue mineralization/mass
Tumor Non-ossifying fibroma
Tumor Giant cell tumor
Tumor Enchondroma
Tumor Chondrosarcoma
Tumor Osteogenic sarcoma
Tumor Osteosarcoma Gross pathology
General MSK • Radiology is a four-year residency • Pathology generally follows a predictable imaging pattern • Knowledge of patterns can enhance image interpretation
You know you’re in medicine when: • You compliment strangers on the size of their veins. • You occasionally have to leave a patient's room before you start laughing uncontrollably.. • You have recurring nightmares about being knocked to the floor and run over by a portable x-ray machine.
Thank you Laurie Lomasney, MD
