Then is gifted a sequence of trauma situations of the axial skeleton, on that you are requested to write down experiences, plus occasionally resolution a number of questions, (the solutions are over the page). This part is split into six chapters; trauma circumstances of the pelvis; of the hip and femur; the cervical backbone; dorsal and lumber backbone; the cranium, facial bones and mandible (15 situations in every one chapter); the final bankruptcy being 25 combined instances. even though it is ideally to paintings your method during the publication from begin to end; when you consider you would like revision on say cervical backbone radiographs, then you definately can flick to the bankruptcy on reviewing the cervical backbone and subsequent to the instances on cervical backbone. each one case has applicable medical historical past even supposing this won't be the unique historical past that allows you to nameless the case. the various situations won't have aspect markers those could have been got rid of when elimination sufferers’ information.

Example text

7. Soft tissue involvement. May be an associated soft tissue mass. 8. Cortical and periosteal response. Cortex may be breached but no periosteal reaction. 9. Pattern of bone destruction. Geographic. 10. Type of tumour matrix. None. 11. Multiplicity of lesions. Singular and monostotic. Infection Although not a tumour, I have included infection in this list as it often appears radiographically as a lucent lesion not unlike some aggressive tumours. Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules to the radiographic appearance of infection – it can look like anything!

Zone of transition. Poorly defined. 7. Soft tissue involvement. May be associated with a soft tissue mass. 8. Cortical and periosteal response. Larger lesions may breach the cortex but there is often no periosteal reaction. 9. Pattern of bone destruction. Moth-eaten or permeative pattern. 10. Type of tumour matrix. Very variable and depends on location of primary. Purely lytic lesions are often from lung, whereas purely sclerotic lesions are usually from prostate or breast. 11. Multiplicity of lesions.

5. Margins of lesion. Thin scalloped sclerotic border. 6. Zone of transition. Narrow. 7. Soft tissue involvement. None. 8. Cortical and periosteal response. No periosteal reaction. Non-ossifying fibromas tend to be slightly expansile with mild cortical thinning. 9. Pattern of bone destruction. Geographic. 10. Type of tumour matrix. None, although in the ‘healing’ phase, dense sclerotic new bone formation may be seen. 11. Multiplicity of lesions. Usually monostotic but can be occasionally polyostotic.
