Point-of-Care Ultrasound Versus X-ray for Pediatric Upper Extremity Injuries: A Safe and Radiation-Free Alternative?.
Orthopedics Imaging 1 min.
This study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and x-ray in detecting upper extremity fractures in children, focusing on sensitivity, specificity, and overall diagnostic performance. Particular attention was given to distal forearm fractures, the most common fracture...
Microvascular evaluation in MSK ultrasound
Orthopedics Imaging 3 min.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK US) is a valuable imaging modality for evaluating superficial structures such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joint and Doppler techniques play a key role in the detection and assessment of tissue vascularization, particularly in inflammatory, traumatic, and degenerative...
A new CT-based classification system for posterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fractures: a nationwide multicenter study
Orthopedics Imaging 5 min.
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is shaped like a footprint and is twice as strong as the anterior cruciate ligament. It starts at the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle and ends at the posterior part of the intercondylar ridge of the tibia, about 10 mm below the slope of the tibial...
Dual-energy computed tomography collagen density mapping of the temporomandibular disc
Orthopedics Imaging 4 min.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is characterized by its complex anatomical structure [1]. It connects the mandible to the temporal bone and enables a variety of movements, including rotation and translation, which are essential for fundamental functions such as chewing and speaking [2]. Due to its...
