exostoses/edema

A 67-year-old woman presented to our vein clinic for chronic left lower extremity edema, pain, and varicosities. After failed conservative management, a computed tomography scan revealed central venous stenosis secondary to compression of the left common iliac vein by a large osteophyte along the

Ischiofemoral impingement is a rare cause of hip pain related to narrowing of the space between the ischial tuberosity and the lesser trochanter. It is usually seen in middle-aged women. We report a rare case of a young male patient presenting with ischiofemoral impingement due to a solitary

BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful in evaluating nontraumatic hip pain. It provides information about associated injuries like labral/chondral tears or ischiofemoral impingement (IFI). However, in hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) there has been no report about MRI findings in

We report a 38-year-old man who presented successively a thrombosis of the right popliteal vein and the right popliteal artery, responsible of a painful edema of the leg. There was no known thrombophilic predisposing condition. Radiologic assessment, guided by clinical findings, evidenced bilateral

OBJECTIVE To assess whether there is a significant difference in the ischiofemoral space in patients with multiple hereditary exostoses affecting the proximal femora compared to normal patients. BACKGROUND Ischiofemoral impingement is an increasingly recognized cause of hip and buttock pain. This

A 38-year-old man with a known history of hereditary multiple exostoses and no history of trauma presented with a painful right femur mass. While the clinical presentation was concerning for malignant degeneration or a large overlying bursitis, the radiologic evaluation demonstrated a large

A female raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) captured September 1992 in Nara prefecture, Japan, suffering from swollen joints of all four limbs was necropsied. Radiographically, there was a shadow in the right pulmonary caudal lobe and periosteal bone formation around several joints.

Microfibrillar collagen is described. The method of application and use on the exposed surface of cancellous bone encountered in heel spur surgery, herein defined as a resection of the inferior calcaneal exostosis with plantar fasciotomy, is discussed. Microfibrillar collagen's chief effect on

We present what we believe is the first reported case of synchronous osteochondroma and osteoblastoma, occurring in the proximal humerus of a young man. A 15-year-old boy presented with a painful left arm mass for 3 months. A firm mass was palpable in the proximal medial arm, and he had mild triceps

BACKGROUND Florid reactive periostitis (FRP) is a rare benign periosteal lesion, which mostly involves the tubular bones of the extremities. FRP of the long bone is especially rare. We here report a case series of long bone FRP and also discuss the differential diagnosis and clinical outcome of our

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of disability in the adult population. As a progressive degenerative joint disorder, OA is characterized by cartilage damage, changes in the subchondral bone, osteophyte formation, muscle weakness, and inflammation of the synovium tissue and tendon. Although OA
