Study Notes
Evaluating Images
- Assess soft tissue, bone, and joint changes in images.
- Formulate a diagnosis or list differentials.
Soft Tissue Changes
- Swelling around the mid-tibia/fibula, increased opacity.
- Swelling around proximal humerus.
- Swelling around elbow joint, increased opacity likely enesthesophtye
- Soft tissue swelling around digits, especially digit 5.
- Swelling around antebrachium.
- Mild soft tissue swelling around hock.
Bone Changes
- Complete, comminuted fracture through the mid-diaphysis of the tibia and oblique, complete overriding fracture of the fibula.
- Osteolysis of tibial diaphysis, moth-eaten appearance with ill-defined lucent areas.
- Moth eaten lysis of proximal bone with clear transition zone, sunburst and amorphous periosteal reaction indicative of aggressive lesion.
- Marked evidence of new bone proliferation and osteophytes on all phalanges, but especially on digit 5.
- Fracture to distal radius and ulna including transverse fracture, caudal and medial displacement of proximal fragment- simple and closed.
- Evidence of bone fragments, likely comminuted chips, from dislocation.
Joint Changes
- No joint involvement across the joint
- Narrowed joint space and irregular joint margin at radial head
- Osteophytes at joint margins, narrowing joint spaces (particularly in metacarpophalangeal joint and interphalangeal joints)
Potential Diagnoses/Differentials
- Pathological fracture most likely due to bone neoplasia (e.g., osteosarcoma).
- Osteoarthritis of elbow.
- Osteoarthritis of the foot.
