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.
