Dear OCAD colleagues I encountered this MRI today. This is a 67 year old lady with known left knee replacement and revision in April 23. She started to have intense, medial knee pain on weight-bearing, biting; pinching type. I see the signal abnormality, at the medial tibial Metastasis away from the prosthesis. It is strange […]
Got very few responses, they are as below1.Likely desmoid tumour 2.?Denervation injury 3. FAVA type of AVM.

Dear friends I received several answers, pointing out that the dorsal configuration of a MN is due to the location distal to the intermetatarsal ligament, obviously also dependent on the position of the joint/toe, and prone/supine.

I received several, very helpful comments from Dr. Eugene Lim:1) Uric acid saturation point is 6.8 mg% at core body temperature, so 8 mg% is definitely high.

Follow-up regarding the DDH case I sent a while ago. Didn’t receive many responses. Here is what I received. 1) In this case for example, could you expect the reduction to improve with time as the pulvinar atrophied? no- muscle strengthening may help to keep head somewhat in early cart deg is the rule till

Hi again! I received several good responses! Thank you for supporting the notion about HADD, and actually the patient is better, not entirely, but much better. From the responses: I think the standard time course is days to 4 weeks….but it can last longer.How did her symptoms change in the 4 weeks? I believe it’s
