Chronic Avulsion Lesion at the Brachialis Muscle Insertion
Teaching Point: Humeral splints or brachialis insertion avulsion syndrome is a distinct type of stress injury at the insertion of the brachialis muscle on the lateral surface of the humeral diaphysis. Published on 2021-11-22 11:09:05 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)

Ewing ’s Sarcoma Mimicking an Avulsion Fracture
Teaching Point: In the absence of a clear history of trauma, avulsion of the lesser trochanter should raise a high index of suspicion of an underlying malignancy. Published on 2021-11-22 11:14:06 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)

Advanced Imaging of Acute and Chronic Trauma of Ankle and Foot Ligaments, Bones, Tendons: Selected Topics
Many complex foot and ankle injuries involve the bony structures, tendons, and ligaments. These can be acute or due to chronic repetitive trauma.In this abstract, we succinctly focus on the lateral ligaments. Further, we discuss in detail pathology and pitfalls at the lateral midfoot in the region of the peroneus longus tendon.Finally, we briefly address the anatomy of the hallux and turf-toe.

Low-Energy Occult Femoral and Pelvic Fractures in the Elderly
Proximal femoral fractures and pelvic fractures are common in elderly patients with a dramatic increase expected in the next decades due to population aging. Early detection of such fractures is crucial for optimal patient management and cost containment, especially in proximal femoral fractures. Most fractures are detected on conventional radiographs, but some fractures are occult (i.e. not radiographically detectable) [1]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard second-line imaging modality to detect occult post-traumatic injuries with acquisition protocols including fat-sensitive and/or fluid-sensitive ima...

New CBCT Indications in Musculoskeletal Imaging
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become increasingly important as a low-radiation imaging technique with high resolution. The current new generation CBCT ’s aim to optimize the benefits of CBCT while limiting the traditional disadvantages with features such as a larger gantry, higher tube voltage and a moveable table. Very promising is the current development of dual energy CBCT for detecting bone marrow edema, a better soft tissue visualization an d reduction of beam hardening artifact. implementation of iterative reconstructions and artificial intelligence in high-end CBCT is a potential tool in a further very ...

Dual-Energy CT in Traumatic Bone Lesions: Myth or Reality?
Early and accurate diagnosis of fracture is important to speed patient triage and optimize patient management in Emergency departments. Computed tomography (CT) stands in the front line in the diagnosis of some radiographically occult bone fractures, because tomographic images optimize the detection of cortical and trabecular bone interruption and deformity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), thanks to its ability to detect bone marrow changes, also enables detection of post-traumatic marrow changes that are associated with subtle fractures. In the last decade, many authors have reported that dual-energy CT (DECT) has the p...

Overuse Injuries in Teenagers
Overuse injuries in teenagers have increased in incidence in the past decades. Adequately diagnosing these injuries is a challenge (Figures 1 and2), especially when unfamiliar with the specific overuse injury patterns and the development steps of the teenager musculoskeletal system. When considering overuse injuries in this population it is helpful to focus on two points or resemblance and dissemblance between teenagers and adults:Teenagers arethe same as adults. Increasingly teenagers are exposed to a higher – more professional – level of sport activities. Likewise, the specific activities they have to perform for the...

3D Printing in Fractures: A Game Changer?
Background: 3D printing (3DP) or additive manufacturing has become an established technique in many industries for its fast production of objects with a large range of shapes and designs. Whereas it was initially used for rapid prototyping and product design evaluation, it has been applied more and more in small batch production as well. In the medical field 3DP has demonstrated its potential for various purposes, ranging from mere display of anatomy to printing of implants in tissue, although the latter application still needs to be translated to the clinical field and demonstrate usefulness.Applications of 3D printing:We...

Knee Avulsion Injuries: What can I Get From a CT?
Acute bone and soft-tissue injuries to the knee are commonly seen in emergency departments as well as in the outpatient clinic. Most commonly, these injuries result from a direct blow, a fall, or a twisting injury. Prompt and accurate diagnosis relies heavily on imaging and is mandatory to facilitate adequate management and prevent potential complications [1].Radiographs are usually the initial imaging modality in the evaluation of the acutely injured knee but have a low yield. Computed Tomography (CT) may be performed as the next imaging study for the evaluation of suspected radiographically occult fractures. In patients ...
