Distal radius fracture; Other names: Broken wrist [1]: A Colles fracture as seen on X-ray: It is a type of distal radius fracture.: Specialty: Orthopedics, emergency medicine: Symptoms
The most common injury to the lateral femoral condyle is an osteochondral fracture combined with a patellar dislocation. [1] The osteochondral fracture occurs on the weight-bearing portion of the lateral condyle.
A tibial plateau fracture is a break of the upper part of the tibia (shinbone) that involves the knee joint. [1] This could involve the medial, lateral, central, or bicondylar (medial and lateral). [3]
A radiograph of a left hip joint, which reveals a thin, curvilinear lucent line parallel to the cortical margin of the femoral head, in a patient with avascular necrosis.
There are four types of epiphyses: Pressure epiphysis: The region of the long bone that forms the joint is a pressure epiphysis (e.g. the head of the femur, part of the hip joint complex).
However, the results from these statistics have been put into question. This is mainly due to unclear diagnostic criteria. For example, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are the most common ways to diagnosis LSS, but clinically significant definitions of canal, foraminal, or subarticular narrowing do not exist.
The radial styloid process is found on the lateral surface of the distal radius bone. [1] It extends obliquely downward into a strong, conical projection. The tendon of the brachioradialis attaches at its base. [2]
2. Any cavitary lesion - Lucency (darkened area) within the lung parenchyma, with or without irregular margins that might be surrounded by an area of airspace consolidation or infiltrates, or by nodular or fibrotic (reticular) densities, or both. The walls surrounding the lucent area can be thick or thin. Calcification can exist around a cavity.
