What is an MRI? An MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, is used in radiology to take incredibly detailed images of bones, tendons, ligaments and nerves that cannot be seen on a normal x-ray or CT scan. This machine produces images by using the hydrogen atoms in your body. If you tear any ligaments or tendons, like your ACL or meniscus, you will need an MRI to see the extent of the damage.

Check out the power of dynamic ultrasound!  While X-ray and MRI are essential, they only provide static views of structures. In contrast, dynamic ultrasound offers numerous advantages: -Real-time visualization allows for immediate assessment. -Dynamic imaging captures movement and changes in structures. -It is non-invasive and readily accessible. -Cost-effective compared to other imaging modalities. In this example above, we utilized dynamic ultrasound to examine the AITFL ligament of the syndesmosis—the ligament connecting the fibula and tibia in the ankle joint. By stressing the syndesmosis, we identified a tear in the AITFL and detected subtle gapping between the tibia and fibula in real-time. It's non-invasive, accessible, and cost-effective, making it a valuable tool for immediate assessment.  #DynamicUltrasound #MedicalImaging #footandankle #orthopedics #ultrasound #MIS #Podiatry

Contact injury to knee 1999 in Touch-Football. Conservative managament. Stable knee, participated in twisting/ turning activies and weight-training including squats after injury. MRI taken 2011 Report - Findings: Anterior cruciate ligament shows complete rupture near its femoral origin. There may be some mildly intact scarring strands, however, basically the ligament appears completely ruptured. I wonder how that would be reported today? Angle looks pretty low sadly.. #acl #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #sportsmedicine #orthopaedics #orthopedics #radiology

The Arthrex MPFL Reconstruction With Knee FiberTak® The medial patellofemoral complex, consisting of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) and the medial patellotibial ligament, is the main passive stabilizer of the patellofemoral joint. Since it has been shown that MPFL rupture is the primary pathological consequence of patellar dislocation and biomechanical studies have demonstrated that the MPFL is an important passive restraint against patellofemoral instability (PFI) and lateral patellar displacement, MPFL reconstruction has become a widely accepted technique for restoration of patellofemoral stability. Therefore, numerous techniques for MPFL reconstruction have been described with promising clinical results. Because a nonanatomic MPFL reconstruction can lead to nonphysiologic patellofemoral loads and kinematics, the goal of surgical intervention must be an anatomic reconstruction. #MPFL #ArthrexProud #helpingsurgeonstreattheirpatientsbetter #innovation #Knee #Orthopedics

Ever wondered what happens inside your joints when you move? Enter True Motion MRI, a cutting-edge imaging technique revolutionizing our understanding of joint mechanics.

Iam excited to share an intriguing and educational case that highlights the complexity and variability of musculoskeletal conditions. 🦴 Case Overview: We have a 65-year-old female patient with bilateral knee osteoarthritis, presenting with a particularly interesting and rare finding: a significantly hypertrophied fabella in only one knee. Imaging Findings: During her knee X-rays, we noted that the fabella in her left knee was abnormally large, a stark contrast to the relatively normal-sized fabella in her right knee. This unilateral hypertrophy of the fabella is uncommon and adds a layer of complexity to her clinical presentation and management. #Orthopedics #Rheumatology #HypertrophicFabella #KneeOsteoarthritis #MedicalCaseStudy #ClinicalInsights #HealthcareInnovation

Promising results! These findings remind me of the following systematic review and meta-analysis https://lnkd.in/dpkyeTZJ , comparing autologous vs synthetic bone grafts in the surgical management of tibial plateau fractures. Any thoughts? #BoneRegeneration #Bonegraft

Second Cervical Vertebra - C2 .............. The cervical vertebrae are seven vertically aligned small bones that from the most cranial portion of the spine. They are located between the occipital bone of the skull and the thorax. All cervical vertebrae can be classified as typical or atypical , depending on their anatomical features. The axis ( C2) is one of the atypical cervical vertebrae. It has all the typical features of a cervical vertebrae, but it appears different from the typical vertebrae , as its body presents a specialized projection called denes ( odontoid process ) #biomedicalengineering #knowledgesharing #medicalprofessionals #medicalstudent #medicalstudents #orthopedics #radiology #radiographer #medicaleducation
