bursitis/edema

OBJECTIVE To assess the contribution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of tibial stump bursitis, in the establishment of differential diagnosis, and in the therapeutic management prosthetic-stump interface, mainly by adaptation of the prosthetic device. METHODS Two-year,

A 66-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis presented with unilateral leg edema attributable to an enlarged iliopsoas bursa with presumed impedance of lymphatic drainage. The adjacent hip joint was not severely involved by arthritis. Ultrasonography and computed tomography were used to delineate

A 69-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis presented with bilateral leg swelling. Magnetic resonance studies revealed bilateral giant iliopsoas bursitis with intrapelvic expansion and compression of pelvic vessels and bladder. The case was refractory to intensive systemic and local medical

We report a 61-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis (RA: Steinblocker stage III, class 3) who developed severe swelling and neuropathy of the right lower limb caused by an iliopectineal bursa associated with destruction of the hip joint. Physical examination revealed an inguinal mass and groin

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement type III and capsulitis/synovitis are related to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnoses of internal derangement, osteoarthrosis (OA), effusion, and/or bone marrow edema (BME), and whether arthrocentesis is

The authors describe a 48-year-old woman suffering from bilateral upper-extremity numbness and axial radiating pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed soft-tissue edema and enhancement surrounding the dorsal tip of the C7 spinous process. Excisional biopsy of the lesion revealed a mildly inflamed

OBJECTIVE The fibular collateral ligament (FCL)-biceps femoris (BF) bursa is not a commonly known location for calcific bursitis. A case of FCL-BF calcific bursitis is presented. METHODS An 18-year-old man had a blunt trauma on the lateral side of his right knee approximately 1 year before his

Medial knee pain is common in clinical practice and can be caused by various conditions. In rare cases, it can even be by calcific bursitis of the medial collateral ligament (MCL). Treatment of calcific bursitis and/or calcification of the MCL classically includes observation, local injections,

Brucellosis is a systemic infection involving many organs and tissues. The musculoskeletal system is one of the most commonly affected. The disease can present with sacroiliitis, peripheral arthritis, spondylitis, paraspinal abscess, bursitis, and osteomyelitis. A 25-year-old male patient was

BACKGROUND Maintaining the integrity of the capsule along with infusing a sufficient amount of fluid is 1 of the therapeutic concepts in intra-articular hydraulic distension (IHD) for adhesive capsulitis. It has been known that hypertonic saline solution decreases tissue edema and increases the

Thirty cases of idiopathic olecranon bursitis were studied. Most had previous local trauma. The process was unilateral and often associated with nontender pitting edema in cases of short duration. Ten patients exhibited a bony spur at the olecranon process, and amorphous calcific deposits were seen

BACKGROUND The epidemiology, outcome and management of olecranon septic bursitis (OSB) have not been described in a large cohort of ambulatory patients. METHODS A retrospective study of all 118 cases of OSB presenting over 21 months to all regional Home Parenteral Therapy Program clinics in Calgary

A 55-year-old man was diagnosed with remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography for cancer screening showed a mass with low-density centers with an enhanced rim in the left iliopsoas muscle. We suspected an iliopsoas
