A compartmental approach to the radiographic evaluation of soft-tissue calcifications.

Musculoskeletal radiology, like most areas of diagnostic radiology, has seen a dramatic increase in the use of cross-sectional imaging techniques over the last decade. However, conventional radiography remains a vital role in the evaluation of disease involving the spine and extremities. Given its widespread availability and low cost, radiography should be the initial examination obtained when imaging is clinically indicated. Therefore it is essential that the practicing radiologists be able to maximize the diagnostic value of this common study to aid the clinicians with a focused differential diagnosis, if not a definitive diagnosis. While much emphasis has been placed on radiographic interpretation of osseous lesions, similar diagnostic yield can be often obtained about calcified or ossified soft-tissue lesions. Detailed evaluation of the distribution and morphology of the soft-tissue calcifications, combined with a thorough knowledge of the entities that may occur at the site of the noted abnormality, provides significant interpretive value to provide a definitive diagnosis or accurately recommend the next most effective management step. We provide a compartmental-based approach to the interpretation of soft-tissue calcifications.

Nontraumatic avulsions of the pelvis.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this report is to describe the imaging findings of nontraumatic avulsions of the pelvis. CONCLUSION: A diagnosis of avulsion fracture of the pelvis in an adult without appropriate history of substantial trauma must raise the suspicion of an underlying malignancy. If a patient has not been diagnosed as having a primary neoplasm, additional imaging evaluation is recommended. Also, biopsy may be considered in the proper clinical setting.

Humeral avulsions of the glenohumeral ligament: imaging features and a review of the literature.

OBJECTIVE: We describe the radiologic findings of the humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL lesion) and its commonly associated injuries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of six cases of HAGL lesion diagnosed at our institution from October 1996 to February 2001 was performed. We reviewed the radiology reports, radiologic examinations, medical records, and operative notes. All patients had undergone radiography, and four patients had undergone MR imaging of the shoulder before diagnostic arthroscopy. RESULTS: All the patients were men who ranged in age from 19 to 41 years (mean, 26 years). Four patients (67%) had an anterior shoulder dislocation. Three of the HAGL lesions (50%) were detected on radiologic examinations, either by radiography or MR imaging. One patient had a bony HAGL. All patients had associated injuries. The most common associated abnormalities were osteochondral injury of the humeral head (n = 3), rotator cuff tear (n = 3), Bankart lesion (n = 3), Hill-Sachs lesion (n = 2), avulsion of the middle glenohumeral ligament (n = 1), partial tear of the biceps brachii tendon (n = 1), and comminuted fracture of the clavicle (n = 1). CONCLUSION: With an incidence of 7.5% and 9.4% in two large series of patients, the HAGL lesion is an important cause of anterior instability of the glenohumeral joint. The majority (68%) of patients with an HAGL lesion have associated injuries.
