The off-profile proximal radial epiphysis: another potential pitfall in the X-ray diagnosis of elbow trauma.

If the elbow is filmed in flexion in a pubertal age child, the proximal radial epiphyseal line may be projected through the articular surface of the radial head on standard or oblique AP views. This can theoretically mimic a fissure or chisel-type fracture. Fractures involving the articular surface of the radial head, however, are extremely rare in children and the true fissure fractures that occur in the adult are notably different in specific radiographic features.

Shoulder arthropathy in primary hyperparathyroidism.

An erosive arthropathy of the hands and wrists has been recognized in patients with primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism [3, 5]. Recently, intra-articular erosions of the humeral head were described in six patients who had been on chronic long-term hemodialysis with secondary hyperparathyroidism [1]. We would like to present the finding of shoulder erosions in four patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and one patient with renal osteodystrophy and suggest that the humeral erosion can occur in both an intra-articular and peri-articular location.
