30yoM status post twisting injury. Difficulty with hip flexion and internal rotation. Rule Out psoas tendon tear. I can see why the clinician thought it would be a psoas tear. When I saw the history before seeing the images I figured the patient would be at least 80+ years old as the only psoas tears […]

One more….because this makes more sense than growth "arrest" From Don: These were originally called growth arrest lines, but the name was changed to growth recovery lines as apparently research showed they appear after growth has restarted.

I think there is a subacute Anterior Lateral Ligament tear….do you agree? I don’t recall seeing an isolated ALL tear. Would this be debrided or repaired? Or will it be treated conservatively so long as

This is a consult for my colleague Dr. Liebeskind.Apparently the referrer has seen outside XRs from another country that showed a smaller cyst-like lesion of the distal femur….though there are no details. There is obvious bowing of the dstal femur with (bilateral) Enders nails that cut out of bone at the anterior distal femur. There

I have received several comments…. Most people favor a benign vascular lesion…but would like to further investigate with CT. Dr. Vande Berg added it would be nice to see a CT with bone scan where the lesion is not hot. Nobody seems to think it is an enchondroma either. Thank you. Hilary I was concerned

Thanks for responding! I got 3 replies. – 2 suspected serous atrophy of bone marrow – 1 suspected lipodystrophy I guess the replies are all interlinked in that there is a problem with fat deposition. His height is 174 cm and weight 89,5 kg, so anorexia is not likely. There is no information that the
