AbstractBackgroundA change of loading conditions in the knee causes changes in the subchondral bone and may be a cause of osteoarthritis (OA). However, quantification of trabecular architecture in vivo is difficult due to the limiting spatial resolution of the imaging equipment; one approach is the use of texture parameters. In previous studies, we...

Accurate and reliable assessment of bone quality requires predictive methods which could probe bone microstructure and provide information on bone mechanical properties. Multiscale modelling and simulation represent a fast and powerful way to predict bone mechanical properties based on experimental information on bone microstructure as obtained thr...

To compare the degree and distribution of mineralization in femoral neck cortex from 23 women with hip fractures (age 65–96 years) and 17 female controls (age 72–103 years), we obtained 3D data by synchrotron radiation microtomography (SRμCT). Variables were degree of mineralization of bone (DMB) in total cortex (cDMBSRMEAN), osteons (oDMBSRMEAN), ...

The objective of this systematic literature review is to discuss the latest French recommendation issued in 2012 that a fall within the past year should lead to bone mineral density (BMD) measurement using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). This recommendation rests on four facts. First, osteoporosis and fall risk are the two leading risk fact...
La présente revue de la littérature a pour objectif d'argumenter les nouvelles recommandations françaises publiées en 2012 retenant le risque de chute, évalué par l'antécédent de chute dans la dernière année, comme indication de la mesure de la densité minérale osseuse (DMO) par l'absorptiométrie biphotonique par rayons X (DXA). Cette recommandatio...

The nidus mineralization ratio of osteoid osteomas increases significantly with pain duration and may be a marker of tumor age. Diaphyseal osteoid osteomas demonstrate a lower ratio of nidus mineralization. At the onset of symptoms, older patients experience pain for a longer period before treatment.

Intratendinous ganglia are rare. We report the case of a sedentary woman with chronic mechanical anterolateral pain of the knee and an extensive ganglion of the patellar tendon as indicated on magnetic resonance (MR) and ultrasound (US) examinations. There was evidence of a high-riding patella, patellar malalignment and patellar tendon-lateral femo...

Muscle MRI is an alternative tool to EMG in proximal, mild, or chronic clinical diagnoses of lower limb focal neuropathies. However, it also seems prone to false-positive results, particularly in proximal muscles.

The observed variability in the fat content of individuals without myopathy or a need for hip surgery should be useful for comparison with future studies of specific populations of patients, such as those with muscle weakness secondary to hip fracture or hip surgery. Simple lifestyle changes such as dietary restriction, increased physical activity,...

According to a pathological definition, a bony sequestrum is defined as a piece of devitalized bone that has been separated from the surrounding bone during the process of necrosis. However, the radiological definition of a sequestrum is different and refers to an image of calcification visible within a lucent lesion, completely separated from the ...

To evaluate the efficiency and complication rate of two percutaneous treatments of osteoid osteomas, percutaneous trephine resection (PR) and interstitial laser ablation (ILA). Ethical review board was obtained for the retrospective study. One hundred and 26 patients were treated by PR (n = 26) or ILA (n = 100) under CT, with a median follow-up of ...
