A 67-year-old man with known systemic sclerosis underwent routine follow-up radiographs of the hands. His medical history included Raynaud’s phenomenon and dysphagia, while C-reactive protein levels remained normal. Radiographs demonstrated acroosteolysis, characterized by sharply demarcated resorption of the distal phalangeal tufts. This finding represents
A 40-year-old woman presented with left hip pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left acetabular labral tear associated with a paralabral cyst extending into the obturator canal, resulting in compression of the obturator nerve. Increased T2 signal intensity and mild atrophy were observed in the ipsilateral adductor muscles, consistent with subacute de
A 53-year-old patient presented with a 15-day history of persistent medial knee pain without preceding trauma and with insufficient response to oral analgesics. Imaging revealed a focal hydroxyapatite deposit at the origin of the medial collateral ligament, consistent with calcific peritendinitis. The acute symptoms are likely related to the inflammatory res
An 84-year-old woman receiving long-term bisphosphonate therapy presented with subacute lateral thigh pain without significant trauma. Radiographs demonstrated characteristic features of an atypical subtrochanteric femoral fracture, including lateral cortical beaking, a transverse fracture line, and minimal comminution. MRI confirmed associated bone marrow e
A 48-year-old man presented with a three-year history of painful swelling of the finger joints and left wrist. Examination revealed tenderness and swelling of the right second and left third proximal interphalangeal joints. Rheumatoid factor was positive, and C-reactive protein was elevated (25 mg/L). Radiographs demonstrated marginal erosions, particularly
A 40-year-old man presented with knee swelling following a motor vehicle accident 14 hours before MRI. Imaging demonstrated a post-traumatic fluid collection along the interface between the subcutaneous tissues and deep fascia, characteristic of a Morel-Lavallée lesion. This closed degloving injury results from shearing forces that disrupt perforating vessel
