RESUMO

The knee is one of the most commonly affected joints in the course of inflammatory arthropathies, such as crystal-induced and autoimmune inflammatory arthritis. The latter group includes systemic connective tissue diseases and spondyloarthropathies. The different pathogenesis of these entities results in their varied radiologic images. Some lead quickly to joint destruction, others only after many years, and in the remaining, destruction will not be a distinguishing radiologic feature.Radiography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging have traditionally been the primary modalities in the diagnosis of noninflammatory and inflammatory arthropathies. In the case of crystallopathies, dual-energy computed tomography has been introduced. Hybrid techniques also offer new diagnostic opportunities. In this article, we discuss the pathologic findings and imaging correlations for crystallopathies and inflammatory diseases of the knee, with an emphasis on recent advances in their imaging diagnosis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this agreement was to establish evidence-based consensus statements on imaging of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability and triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries by an expert group using the Delphi technique. METHODS: Nineteen hand surgeons developed a preliminary list of questions on DRUJ instability and TFCC injuries. Radiologists created statements based on the literature and the authors' clinical experience. Questions and statements were revised during three iterative Delphi rounds. Delphi panelists consisted of twenty-seven musculoskeletal radiologists. The panelists scored their degree of agreement to each statement on an 11-item numeric scale. Scores of "0," "5," and "10" reflected complete disagreement, indeterminate agreement, and complete agreement, respectively. Group consensus was defined as a score of "8" or higher for 80% or more of the panelists. RESULTS: Three of fourteen statements achieved group consensus in the first Delphi round and ten statements achieved group consensus in the second Delphi round. The third and final Delphi round was limited to the one question that did not achieve group consensus in the previous rounds. CONCLUSIONS: Delphi-based agreements suggest that CT with static axial slices in neutral rotation, pronation, and supination is the most useful and accurate imaging technique for the work-up of DRUJ instability. MRI is the most valuable technique in the diagnosis of TFCC lesions. The main indication for MR arthrography and CT arthrography are Palmer 1B foveal lesions of the TFCC. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: MRI is the method of choice for assessing TFCC lesions, with higher accuracy for central than peripheral abnormalities. The main indication for MR arthrography is the evaluation of TFCC foveal insertion lesions and peripheral non-Palmer injuries. KEY POINTS: • Conventional radiography should be the initial imaging technique in the assessment of DRUJ instability. CT with static axial slices in neutral rotation, pronation, and supination is the most accurate method for evaluating DRUJ instability. • MRI is the most useful technique in diagnosing soft-tissue injuries causing DRUJ instability, especially TFCC lesions. • The main indications for MR arthrography and CT arthrography are foveal lesions of the TFCC.

RESUMO

This opinion article by the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology Arthritis and Pediatric Subcommittees discusses the current use of conventional radiography (CR) of the sacroiliac joints in adults and juveniles with suspected axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). The strengths and limitations of CR compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are presented.Based on the current literature and expert opinions, the subcommittees recognize the superior sensitivity of MRI to detect early sacroiliitis. In adults, supplementary pelvic radiography, low-dose CT, or synthetic CT may be needed to evaluate differential diagnoses. CR remains the method of choice to detect structural changes in patients with suspected late-stage axSpA or established disease and in patients with suspected concomitant hip or pubic symphysis involvement. In children, MRI is the imaging modality of choice because it can detect active as well as structural changes and is radiation free.

RESUMO

This case report documents an arterial embolic event that occurred during vertebroplasty for a pathological compression fracture of T12 in a 54-year-old female with known metastatic breast carcinoma. A CT angiogram performed after the procedure demonstrated cement migration into the aorta, both kidneys, and the inferior mesenteric artery and its branches, with ischemic colitis involving the descending colon and sigmoid colon. A CT scan 4 months post-procedure demonstrated resolution of the colitis. Neovascularity and cortical destruction in malignant bone lesions are thought to contribute to arterial cement leak.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the use of ultrasound-guided continuous radiofrequency (CRF) lesioning of the suprascapular nerve for treating chronic shoulder pain, due to osteoarthritis. We describe a modified distal and selective ablation technique in the spinoglenoid notch, with motor and sensory stimulation, which protects the motor branch of the nerve from ablation. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed of patients, who underwent ultrasound-guided CRF lesioning of the suprascapular nerve from October 2013 to January 2020. During the procedure, the CRF electrode is placed in the spinoglenoid notch, at the distal suprascapular nerve capsular branch. Motor and sensory stimulations are used to confirm the position. CRF lesioning is applied up to three times, at 3 different points, for 1 min each time, at 80° C. RESULTS: In total, 127 first CRF suprascapular nerve lesioning procedures were performed on 101 patients with chronic shoulder pain secondary to osteoarthritis. One hundred nineteen diagnostic ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve corticosteroid injections were performed prior to ablation. Mean pre-injection Visual Analogue Scale pain score (VAS) was 8.3, with post-injection VAS score of 4.4 at 24 h and 4.5 at 2 weeks. Mean pre-CRF lesioning VAS pain score was 7.7 with post-CRF lesioning VAS score of 4.4 at 24 h and 4.5 at 2 weeks. CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound-guided CRF lesioning of the suprascapular nerve in the spinoglenoid notch is a safe treatment for chronic osteoarthritic shoulder pain, with repeat treatments infrequently required. It is associated with significant improvement in VAS pain scores. KEY POINTS: • Ultrasound-guided continuous radiofrequency lesioning of the suprascapular nerve in the spinoglenoid notch is a safe treatment for chronic shoulder pain in degenerative disease, with repeat treatments infrequently required. • The procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance, without the use of ionising radiation.

RESUMO

This article reviews the imaging and common pathology of the long head of biceps tendon and rotator interval (RI). This area of complex anatomy plays a crucial role in normal shoulder function. Injury or abnormality of the RI may contribute to a range of shoulder pathology, such as biceps instability, tendinopathy, and frozen shoulder. Understanding the normal and pathologic appearances of the RI structures is crucial for a correct diagnosis and directing treatment.

RESUMO

Host-guest interactions represent a growing research area with recent work demonstrating the ability to chemically manipulate both host molecules as well as guest molecules to vary the type and strength of bonding. Much less is known about the interactions of the guest molecules and hybrid materials containing similar chemical features to typical macrocyclic hosts. This work uses in vitro and in vivo kinetic analyses to investigate the interaction of closo-dodecahydrododecaborate derivatives with ferumoxytol, an iron oxide nanoparticle with a carboxylated dextran coating. We find that several boron cluster derivatives can become encapsulated into ferumoxytol, and the lack of pH dependence in these interactions suggests that ion pairing, hydrophobic/hydrophilic interaction, and hydrogen bonding are not the driving force for encapsulation in this system. Biodistribution experiments in BALB/c mice show that this system is nontoxic at the reported dosage and demonstrate that encapsulation of dodecaborate-based clusters in ferumoxytol can alter the biodistribution of the guest molecules.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this agreement was to establish evidence-based consensus statements on imaging of scapholunate joint (SLJ) instability by an expert group using the Delphi technique. METHODS: Nineteen hand surgeons developed a preliminary list of questions on SLJ instability. Radiologists created statements based on the literature and the authors' clinical experience. Questions and statements were revised during three iterative Delphi rounds. Delphi panellists consisted of twenty-seven musculoskeletal radiologists. The panellists scored their degree of agreement to each statement on an eleven-item numeric scale. Scores of '0', '5' and '10' reflected complete disagreement, indeterminate agreement and complete agreement, respectively. Group consensus was defined as a score of '8' or higher for 80% or more of the panellists. RESULTS: Ten of fifteen statements achieved group consensus in the second Delphi round. The remaining five statements achieved group consensus in the third Delphi round. It was agreed that dorsopalmar and lateral radiographs should be acquired as routine imaging work-up in patients with suspected SLJ instability. Radiographic stress views and dynamic fluoroscopy allow accurate diagnosis of dynamic SLJ instability. MR arthrography and CT arthrography are accurate for detecting scapholunate interosseous ligament tears and articular cartilage defects. Ultrasonography and MRI can delineate most extrinsic carpal ligaments, although validated scientific evidence on accurate differentiation between partially or completely torn or incompetent ligaments is not available. CONCLUSIONS: Delphi-based agreements suggest that standardized radiographs, radiographic stress views, dynamic fluoroscopy, MR arthrography and CT arthrography are the most useful and accurate imaging techniques for the work-up of SLJ instability. KEY POINTS: • Dorsopalmar and lateral wrist radiographs remain the basic imaging modality for routine imaging work-up in patients with suspected scapholunate joint instability. • Radiographic stress views and dynamic fluoroscopy of the wrist allow accurate diagnosis of dynamic scapholunate joint instability. • Wrist MR arthrography and CT arthrography are accurate for determination of scapholunate interosseous ligament tears and cartilage defects.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant heritable disorder of fibrillin-1 (FBN1) with predominantly ocular, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal manifestations that has a population prevalence of approximately 1 in 5-10,000 (Chiu et al. Mayo Clin Proc. 89(1):34-42, 146, Dietz 3, Loeys et al. J Med Genet. 47(7):476-85, 4). RECENT FINDINGS: The vascular complications of MFS still pose the greatest threat, but effective management options, such as regular cardiac monitoring and elective surgical intervention, have reduced the risk of life-threatening cardiovascular events, such as aortic dissection. Although cardiovascular morbidity and mortality remains high, these improvements in cardiovascular management have extended the life expectancy of those with MFS by perhaps 30-50 years from an estimated mean of 32 years in 1972 (Dietz 3, Gott et al. Eur J Cardio-thoracic Surg. 10(3):149-58, 147, Murdoch et al. N Engl J Med. 286(15):804-8, 148). The musculoskeletal manifestations of MFS, which to date have received less attention, can also have a significant impact on the quality of life and are likely to become more important as the age of the Marfan syndrome population increases (Hasan et al. Int J Clin Pract. 61(8):1308-1320, 127). In addition, musculoskeletal manifestations are often critically important in the diagnosis of MFS. Here, we review the main clinically relevant and diagnostically useful musculoskeletal features of MFS, which together contribute to the "systemic features score" (referred to hereafter as systemic score), part of the revised Ghent nosology for MFS. We discuss current treatment strategies and highlight the need for a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and management. Finally, we review new pharmacological approaches that may be disease modifying and could help to improve the outcome for individuals with this syndrome.

RESUMO

The hand and wrist are commonly involved in rheumatic conditions, particularly rheumatoid arthritis and other systemic connective tissue diseases. With spondyloarthritis, hand and wrist involvement frequently occurs in psoriatic arthritis but generally does not occur in the remaining subtypes. The hand and wrist may also be affected in various metabolic and endocrine diseases, but these lie beyond the scope of this review.Radiographs may demonstrate the presence of joint space narrowing, bone loss, cysts and erosions, malalignments, and osteolysis. They may also show regions of soft tissue swelling or thinning, and detect calcifications. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enable evaluation of the soft tissues, particularly the synovium, tenosynovium, and tendons. Furthermore, erosions are better demonstrated than on radiographs. MRI allows evaluation of periarticular bone marrow edema.This article discusses typical imaging features of the hand and wrist in rheumatologic conditions including the advantages and limitations of the various methods.

RESUMO

Hand and wrist soft tissue masses may be classified as pseudotumors, benign neoplasms, or malignant neoplasms. The vast majority of hand lesions are benign. Consideration of the location of the lesion and its imaging characteristics often leads to a specific diagnosis. Pseudotumors discussed in this article are ganglion cysts, accessory muscles, and inflammatory lesions. True tumors are described according to their tissue type: nerve sheath tumors, adipocytic tumors, so-called fibrohistiocytic tumors, pericytic tumors, and vascular lesions. We also outline the imaging features of masses encountered in the hand and wrist.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical efficacy, technical feasibility, and safety profile of percutaneous sclerotherapy utilizing sodium tetradecyl-sulfate foam (STS) as a first-line treatment strategy for aggressive spinal aneurysmal bone cysts (sABCs) presenting with neurological compromise. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between July 2013 and September 2019, eight consecutive patients (5 males; 3 females; mean age 22±17, range 7-52) underwent fluoroscopic/CT-guided intraosseous sclerotherapy for sABCs. Pain and/or neurological compromise was the primary indications. Procedural data, complications, imaging, and clinical results were analyzed. RESULTS: Technical success was achieved in all cases. Mean procedure time was 25±15 min (range 6-167); 1 to 5 repeat treatment cycles (mean 3.7±1.2) utilizing a mean 2.6mls±1.3 (range 1-6) of agitated 3% STS, with a DLP mean dose of 158±91 mGy*cm (range 62-331) per procedure. One reported a minor complication (pain), but no significant complications. Two patients had persistent neurological deficit due to cord compression despite successful sclerotherapy, requiring surgical resection (and were thereby excluded from the final outcome analysis). The remaining six patients demonstrated a significant reduction in tumor volume (p = 0.028), pain (p = 0.027), and SINS (spinal instability neoplastic score) (p = 0.027) at up to 5 years of follow-up (mean 20 ± 16.7, range 7-51 months). CONCLUSION: Percutaneous sclerotherapy with STS is a minimally invasive, technically feasible, safe, and effective first-line treatment for primary sABCs causing pain and neurological compromise, alleviating the need for extensive surgery. It is most effective with three or more treatment cycles, in patients with higher SINS, pain scores, or tumor volumes at the initial presentation.

RESUMO

The differential diagnoses of inflammatory hip diseases play an important role for the diagnosis of hip pain. The radiological manifestations of rheumatic inflammatory hip pain with the corresponding use of imaging modalities were dealt in part 1 of the CME article. In this second part a systematic approach is explained in order to differentiate the many rheumatic diseaeses from degeneration, synovial tumors and infections. The interpretation of the pathologies seen in imaging in association with the clinical phenotype is more precisely elucidated for the individual differential diagnoses. The concomitant occurrence of different diseases, sometimes as secondary complications, has a substantial influence on treatment planning and should be recognized by radiologists.

RESUMO

Most cases of hip pain in adults are related to osteoarthrosis, thus other causes, e.g. inflammation, are often not adequately considered for the joint pain in the initial diagnosis. This review article describes the various rheumatic diseases of the hip in the context of diagnostic image interpretation. The advantages and disadvantages of the individual imaging modalities are discussed against the background of pathological findings of rheumatological diseases of the hip.

RESUMO

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common paediatric rheumatic disease. It represents a group of heterogenous inflammatory disorders with unknown origin and is a diagnosis of exclusion in which imaging plays an important role. JIA is defined as arthritis of one or more joints that begins before the age of 16 years, persists for more than 6 weeks and is of unknown aetiology and pathophysiology. The clinical goal is early suppression of inflammation to prevent irreversible joint damage which has shifted the emphasis from detecting established joint damage to proactively detecting inflammatory change. This drives the need for imaging techniques that are more sensitive than conventional radiography in the evaluation of inflammatory processes as well as early osteochondral change. Physical examination has limited reliability, even if performed by an experienced clinician, emphasising the importance of imaging to aid in clinical decision-making. On behalf of the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) arthritis subcommittee and the European Society of Paediatric Radiology (ESPR) musculoskeletal imaging taskforce, based on literature review and/or expert opinion, we discuss paediatric-specific imaging characteristics of the most commonly involved, in literature best documented and clinically important joints in JIA, namely the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), spine, sacroiliac (SI) joints, wrists, hips and knees, followed by a clinically applicable point to consider for each joint. We will also touch upon controversies in the current literature that remain to be resolved with ongoing research. KEY POINTS: • Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic paediatric rheumatic disease and, in JIA imaging, is increasingly important to aid in clinical decision-making. • Conventional radiographs have a lower sensitivity and specificity for detection of disease activity and early destructive change, as compared to MRI or ultrasound. Nonetheless, radiography remains important, particularly in narrowing the differential diagnosis and evaluating growth disturbances. • Mainly in peripheral joints, ultrasound can be helpful for assessment of inflammation and guiding joint injections. In JIA, MRI is the most validated technique. MRI should be considered as the modality of choice to assess the axial skeleton or where the clinical presentation overlaps with JIA.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To delineate the spectrum of traumatic knee injuries associated with injury of the anterolateral ligament of the knee (ALL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of 200 MRI scans undertaken for acute knee trauma was performed. In each scan, the ALL was scored as normal, sprained or torn. The menisci, ligaments and tendons of each knee were also assessed. RESULTS: The mean age was 27.4 years (range, 9-69 years), and 71.5% (n = 143) of the patients were male. The anterolateral ligament (ALL) was graded as ruptured in 17 cases (8.5%), sprained in 58 cases (29%), normal in 116 cases (58%) and not visible in 9 cases (4.5%). Of cases with injury of the ALL (n = 75), there was associated injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in 61 cases, medial collateral ligament (MCL) in 51 cases, popliteofibular ligament (PFL) in 29 cases, medial meniscus in 29 cases, lateral meniscus in 24 cases, lateral collateral ligament in 9 cases, posterior cruciate ligament in 8 cases, biceps femoris in 5 cases, popliteus tendon in 4 cases and fluid or oedema was seen adjacent to the iliotibial band in 59 cases. No cases of isolated ALL injury were seen. CONCLUSIONS: ALL injury is not uncommon in acute knee trauma and is typically associated with significant internal derangement of the knee, especially anterior cruciate ligament rupture, ITB sprain, medial collateral ligament injury, meniscal tears and injury to the popliteofibular ligament.

RESUMO

The aim of this review is to outline the normal anatomy of the hip and to discuss common painful conditions of the hip that affect the general adult population. Hip pain is a common complaint with many different etiologies. In this review, hip pathologies are divided by location into osseous, intra-articular and extra-articular lesions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for investigating painful hip conditions due to its multiplanar capability and high contrast resolution. This review focuses on the characteristic MRI features of common traumatic and pathologic conditions of the hip.

RESUMO

The child or adult patient presenting with acute hip pain in the absence of major trauma often presents a difficult diagnostic dilemma, due to the complex anatomy and diversity of pathology at the hip. A correct diagnosis is important because untreated hip inflammatory disease can lead to lifelong morbidity from structural damage at this weightbearing joint. An effective and efficient process of reaching an appropriate diagnosis often requires multiple imaging modalities overseen by careful clinical judgment. This article reviews an algorithmic approach to imaging the acutely painful hip, with attention to uses and limitations of each imaging modality, and it offers details on the key differential diagnoses in adults and children.

RESUMO

In recent years significant advances have been made in imaging techniques. Dual-energy computed tomography has revolutionized the ability to detect and quantify gout. The key ultrasound features of gout have been defined. Magnetic resonance imaging is an excellent modality for demonstrating the extent and severity of crystal arthropathies, but the findings may be nonspecific. This article summarizes the use of advanced imaging techniques in the diagnosis and assessment of gout and other crystal arthropathies.
