MOVE SLIDER ICON (ARROWS) LEFT TO SEE THE DIAGNOSIS FINDINGS Bilateral medullary femoral and tibial serpiginous STIR hyper-intensity with extension into the femoral and tibial epiphysis. DIAGNOSIS MEDULLARY BONE INFARCTS. This is a characteristic appearance of medullary bone infarcts. Most commonly they are in the diaphysis and metaphysis but in this case they also extend …

MEDIAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENT MCL BURSA MRI DISCUSSION ON MCL BURSA Medial Collateral ligament MCL BURSA. The MCL bursa lies between the superficial MCL and the capsule and deep MCL. Whilst it’s present anatomically, usually its not seen on MRI and fluid is seen when there is bursitis. In this case it extends deep …
MRI HIP CAM FAI FEMORO ACETABULAR IMPINGEMENT MRI CAM LESION FAI DISCUSSION This is a CAM type lesion / deformity of the femoral neck. There is convexity of the supero lateral femoral head neck junction. The normal supero lateral femoral head neck junction should be concave like the inferior junction. The convexity may be diffuse …
MENISCUS FLAP TEAR MRI DISCUSSION MENISCUS FLAP TEAR MRI APPEARANCE Meniscus Flap tear MRI of the medial meniscus body. A meniscus flap tear is a horizontal tear through the body and the inferior portion has flipped out (Pink arrows) of the joint and lies in the recess between the superficial MCL (Green arrow) and …
MIDDLE GLENO HUMERAL LIGAMENT MRI SHOULDER MGHL DISCUSSION ON MGHL This is the normal MGHL (Middle Gleno Humeral Ligament). It lies adjacent and anterior to the labrum (Green arrow) and extends inferiorly to join the anterior capsule (Blue arrow) deep to subscapularis. FINDINGS IN MGHL Well defined low signal structure (Pink arrows) adjacent to the …
KNEE MRI PATELLA DISLOCATION SUBLUXATION DISCUSSION PATELLA DISLOCATION Patella Dislocation Subluxation MRI. There has been a recent Patella dislocation with classical contra coup bone bruising and torn MPFL/ medial retinaculum. The best clue to patella dislocation / subluxation on MRI is the presence of the contra coup bone bruising in the patella and femur. …
