Adhesive capsulitis

There is a thickening and edema of the inferior joint capsule in the axillary recess which is characteristic of adhesive capsulitis.
Additionally, there is an interstitial tear of supraspinatus tendon.
Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is an inflammatory condition characterized by shoulder stiffness, pain, and significant loss of passive range of motion.
The joint capsule exhibits inflammation, thickening and fibrosis, leading to pain and loss of ROM.
In most cases, adhesive capsulitis is a self-limited disease with high spontaneous recovery rates within 18 to 30 months.
40-year-old female:
with chronic medial side knee pain.
Pellegrini-Stieda lesion

There is an ossified lesion adjacent to medial femoral condyle, at the insertion of medial collateral ligament (MCL).
MCL fibers are intact.
No signs of osteoarthritis.
Slight degenerative changes within the body of medial meniscus.
Pellegrini-Stieda lesions are defined as post-traumatic ossifications of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) at or near its proximal insertion on the medial femoral condyle.
Pellegrini-Stieda disease (or syndrome) is defined as the combination of the radiographic findings and concomitant medial knee joint pain or restricted range of motion.

With wrist trauma
Undisplaced scaphoid fracture
Acute boxer’s fracture
Dorsal avulsion fracture of the triquetrum
No abnormality
Undisplaced scaphoid fracture – FALSE
Acute boxer’s fracture – FALSE
Dorsal avulsion fracture of the triquetrum (Red arrow) – TRUE
No abnormality – FALSE
Notice also the dorsal soft tissue swelling with air lucencies (Located inside the orange line).
Second most common carpal bone fracture (after the scaphoid)
Fall onto an outstretched hand in ulnar deviation and carpal extension or direct blow to the dorsum of the hand (latter in this case)
Almost always dorsal avulsion type
Usually only seen on lateral radiographs with the classic “pooping duck” sign

After fall from about 1 meter high
Felt a snap in his knee
Instability
Deep lateral notch (sulcus) sign on lateral projection
Suprapatellar effusion
MRI of the knee, due to high index of suspicion for ACL tear

With trauma
Painful elbow after a fall from height
Supination and pronation painful


The case represents a classic capitellum fracture, with a mildly displaced fragment on the lateral projection, which can easily be missed if one is not familiar with the double-arc sign.

45-year-old female with forefoot pain:

D3/D4 intermetatarsal space

T1- and T2-hypointense soft tissue mass located in D3/D4 intermetatarsal space – Morton neuroma.
Morton neuroma is a result of a compressive neuropathy of the forefoot interdigital nerve. The most common location for interdigital neuromas are between the 3rd and 4th metatarsal heads. Most patients with Morton neuroma have a good recovery with non-surgical treatment.Â
