    Study Notes

    Radiographs of Limbs: Fat Pads, Fractures, and Joint Diseases

    • Radiographs of limbs are used to evaluate bony structures and associated soft tissues.
    • Fat pads or stripes are extrasynovial but located within the joint capsule and can indicate joint pathologic processes.
    • The scaphoid and pronator fat stripes in the wrist joint and the anterior, posterior, and supinator fat pads in the elbow joint are significant for diagnosis.
    • Bone metastases occur when malignant tumors transfer malignant cells to bones through the bloodstream, lymphatic vessels, or direct extension.
    • Bursitis is inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that enclose joints and may cause calcification in associated tendons.
    • Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful disorder of the wrist and hand caused by compression of the median nerve.
    • Fractures have various types named based on the extent, direction, alignment, and integrity of overlying tissue.
    • Joint effusion refers to accumulated fluid in the joint cavity and is a sign of underlying conditions.
    • Osteoarthritis is a noninflammatory joint disease characterized by gradual deterioration of articular cartilage.
    • Osteomyelitis is a local or generalized infection of bone or bone marrow that may be caused by bacteria.
    • Osteopetrosis is a hereditary disease marked by abnormally dense bone and may lead to obliteration of the marrow space.
    • Paget disease is a chronic skeletal disease characterized by bone destruction followed by overproduction of dense yet soft bones.
