  1. 0:22now we'll discuss the uh second part of
  2. 0:26the topic uh dealing with imaging of the
  3. 0:32ankle and foot by MRI and we have
  4. 0:38finished with the ankle joint and we'll
  5. 0:41start now the evaluation of the
  6. 0:45foot we'll have uh some words about the
  7. 0:49vascular necrosis in the ankle and fot
  8. 0:52ankle impingement syndromes fractures of
  9. 0:56the ankle and foot and miscellaneous
  10. 0:58issues
  11. 1:00including Morton neuroma blanter fitis
  12. 1:04th to pigmented vular sinovitis diabetic
  13. 1:08food sharot neuropathy gout arthropathy
  14. 1:12and finally uh some words about
  15. 1:17osteoarthritis starting by the vascular
  16. 1:20necrosis which is um disease affects a
  17. 1:24lot of the bones in the ankle and foot
  18. 1:27particularly the tails and this is known
  19. 1:31as colar disease affection of the uh
  20. 1:35sorry the affection of the navicular is
  21. 1:38known as colar disease affection of the
  22. 1:41calanus is severe disease and affection
  23. 1:44of the head of the second metal bone is
  24. 1:47known as fryberg disease the causes of a
  25. 1:51vascular necrosis is idiopathic or
  26. 1:54secondary to trauma or secondary to the
  27. 1:56use of
  28. 1:58corticosteroids or secondary to Bone
  29. 2:01Maru infiltrative
  30. 2:04lesions the tailor of vascular necrosis
  31. 2:07is graded into four grades grade one is
  32. 2:12just diffuse B Mar edema of the tailor
  33. 2:16bone grade two is Cystic changes in the
  34. 2:19area of the Dead uh bone grade three is
  35. 2:24separation of the dead bone without
  36. 2:26displacement and grade four is
  37. 2:29displacement of the separated
  38. 2:32bone of course the stage of bone Maru
  39. 2:34edema is seen by MRI more better than
  40. 2:38any Imaging technique where you can see
  41. 2:41that the TS is of low signal in the T1
  42. 2:44and high signal and the t2 weighted
  43. 2:47image if you uh have a bonus scan it
  44. 2:52will show positive uh positive findings
  45. 2:55and this stage can be mistaken for a lot
  46. 2:58of diseases like the just bone Maro
  47. 3:02edema
  48. 3:03of transient osteoporosis or bone Maro
  49. 3:07edema secondary to trauma or contusion
  50. 3:12then this stage is is not bonic of a
  51. 3:17vascular neosis unless it is followed by
  52. 3:21the second stage or the stage to where
  53. 3:24you can see that the the dead bone is
  54. 3:28transformed into to cystic area with low
  55. 3:32signal in the T1 and high signal in the
  56. 3:35t2 damage and this is also an example of
  57. 3:39stage two a vascular necrosis of the
  58. 3:41taus and you see there is a low signal
  59. 3:45in the T1 and high signal in the stair
  60. 3:48with no uh separation of the bone when
  61. 3:52the dead bone is separated then you are
  62. 3:54dealing with stage three and this is an
  63. 3:58example by Mr I and this is also an
  64. 4:01example by uh CT coronal reformated
  65. 4:05damage when the uh separated bone has
  66. 4:09been displaced from its side then you
  67. 4:12got a defect in in the bone which is
  68. 4:16appreciated by MRI and also by CT and
  69. 4:19then you you are diagnosing stage four a
  70. 4:23vascular necrosis of the
  71. 4:26Tails and coer disease is a vascular NE
  72. 4:29proess of the navicular bone this is a
  73. 4:32self-limiting
  74. 4:33disorder and it affects the uh children
  75. 4:39or boys between the age of 3 to 10 years
  76. 4:43and is commonly unilateral but bilateral
  77. 4:47disease can be seen in about 25% of the
  78. 4:51of the
  79. 4:52cases uh as in any of the vascular
  80. 4:56necrosis of uh anywhere in the body and
  81. 5:00you got some sclerosis of the dead bone
  82. 5:02flattening
  83. 5:04fragmentation and maybe secondary
  84. 5:07ostearthritis of the related
  85. 5:10joints then U you know that the blood
  86. 5:14supply of the navicular bone is Rich
  87. 5:17from the periphery but is Bor in the
  88. 5:20central part so the navicular is PR to
  89. 5:25uh develop this type of a vascular
  90. 5:28necrosis which as I have mentioned is
  91. 5:31self-limiting and it it resolves by
  92. 5:35itself considering the
  93. 5:37uh the conservative measures on MRI and
  94. 5:42you got flattening of the bone and
  95. 5:45before flattening you got born
  96. 5:47Maroa as similar to the stage
  97. 5:51one vascular croses of the Tails which
  98. 5:54is of low signal in the T1 and high
  99. 5:57signal in the t2 then
  100. 6:01uh uh in order to differentiate the
  101. 6:04avascular necrosis from uh let's say
  102. 6:09infection of the uh tarsal bones in
  103. 6:12cases of infection and you got erosion
  104. 6:14of the CeX you got soft tissue Abes and
  105. 6:17you got uh overlying
  106. 6:20cellulitis but in a vascular necrosis
  107. 6:23and you got just bonaro edema of the uh
  108. 6:28navicular with is of course partial or
  109. 6:32complete collapse of the of the
  110. 6:35bone then the fryberg disease which is
  111. 6:39an osteonecrosis of the metatarsal head
  112. 6:42commonly affects the second metatarsal
  113. 6:44bone and is bilateral in about 10% of
  114. 6:48the cases seen more commonly in in girls
  115. 6:53in between the age of 10 and 18 years
  116. 6:57and the high heel is one of the uh
  117. 7:01direct causes of this particular uh
  118. 7:04disease the complaint is uh pain on
  119. 7:08weight bearing with swelling and
  120. 7:11tenderness localized to aect to the
  121. 7:13affected metatarsal bone which is
  122. 7:16commonly the second one then byan xray
  123. 7:20and he got some flattening and cystic
  124. 7:22changes in the head of the second
  125. 7:25metatarsal bone first you got widening
  126. 7:29of the metatarso Fingal joint and later
  127. 7:32on you got fragmentation Bon sclerosis
  128. 7:35and maybe
  129. 7:38osteoarthritic uh it's worth to know
  130. 7:40that some metal head flattening can be
  131. 7:44seen in about 10% of asymptomatic
  132. 7:48pulation before the stage of fishering
  133. 7:53and the fragmentation bone marrow is
  134. 7:56bone marrow edema can be displayed by
  135. 7:59MRI and here you can see in the second
  136. 8:03metors head localized area of bone Mara
  137. 8:07later on there Will there will be
  138. 8:10collapse fragmentation and Bone
  139. 8:13sclerosis this is the classification
  140. 8:15provided in the literature for the
  141. 8:18fryberg disease considering stage one as
  142. 8:23Metal Head flattening with a decreased
  143. 8:27the subcortical bone density stage two
  144. 8:30metatarsal head sclerosis
  145. 8:32fragmentation and cortical thickening
  146. 8:35stage three is development of Osteo
  147. 8:38arthritic changes of this metatarso
  148. 8:42fenial joint then before as I have
  149. 8:45mentioned the changes has appeared in
  150. 8:48have appeared in the uh Blaine x-ray you
  151. 8:51can see the changes by MRI in the form
  152. 8:55of Bone mareda which is not a specific
  153. 8:59for this particular disease B Mara can
  154. 9:02be secondary to trauma can be secondary
  155. 9:04to oul or stress fractures and can be
  156. 9:07secondary to infection but um in order
  157. 9:11to diagnose Friberg disease there should
  158. 9:14be some flattening and IR regularity of
  159. 9:17the metatarsal land and here you see
  160. 9:20classic appearance of briber disease
  161. 9:23with uh cortical depression Bon
  162. 9:26sclerosis of the uh second metors
  163. 9:32B then uh severe disease is a affection
  164. 9:37of the uh calcan apices and um many of
  165. 9:43the legions are not seen by the Blain
  166. 9:46x-ray they are better appreciated by MRI
  167. 9:50this occurs in the children and young
  168. 9:52adolescents
  169. 9:53especially who are um uh performing
  170. 9:58jumping and run running uh Sports and um
  171. 10:03uh severe disease is usually
  172. 10:05diagnosed uh clinically the radiographs
  173. 10:09may show normal findings sometimes they
  174. 10:12may show the changes of a vascular
  175. 10:14neosis like bone sclerosis fragmentation
  176. 10:17and collapse then here you see relative
  177. 10:21Bon sclerosis of the calcan hesis with
  178. 10:25some fragmentation and according to the
  179. 10:28lit
  180. 10:29this corresponds to O disease of the
  181. 10:33tial toity and the little leg elbow of
  182. 10:36the
  183. 10:38medialine by MRI you can see Bor Maru
  184. 10:41edema which will appear as a low signal
  185. 10:45in the T1 and high signal in the stair
  186. 10:49images also you may appreciate bone Maro
  187. 10:52Eda in the adjacent part of the
  188. 10:56calanus then we came to the ankling
  189. 10:59impingement syndromes and we have
  190. 11:01posterior impingement anterior
  191. 11:03impingement and the this rare one which
  192. 11:06is the ccino fibular
  193. 11:09impingement the posterior impingement is
  194. 11:13uh thought to be the cause of repetitive
  195. 11:16ankle
  196. 11:17blunter uh flexion and is classically
  197. 11:21described in ballet
  198. 11:23dancers then there are many causes for
  199. 11:26impingement and a posterior inment of
  200. 11:29the ankle one of these causes and is a
  201. 11:33common one is
  202. 11:34oston which is separated bone behind the
  203. 11:38calanus or elongation of the styal
  204. 11:41process the lateral process of the Tas
  205. 11:44is long uh than enough or is appreciably
  206. 11:50long and this will interfere interfere
  207. 11:53with the uh mechanics of the posterior
  208. 11:56aspect of the ankle uh third cause is
  209. 12:00elongation of the posterior tibial
  210. 12:02process as you can see here or fractures
  211. 12:06of the lateral process of the Tais or
  212. 12:08inflammation posterior to the talanian
  213. 12:12joint or this bony SP spare in the
  214. 12:16superior aspect of the calcinus there
  215. 12:18are six causes the first two are the
  216. 12:21most commonly seen in the clinical
  217. 12:25practice then associated with impingment
  218. 12:29there may be retr calcan capsular
  219. 12:31thickening and
  220. 12:33sinovitis you got some inflammation
  221. 12:35around this elongated the ster process
  222. 12:39of the of the taus and you got some
  223. 12:42fluid around and also you may see Bor
  224. 12:45Maro edema of the process
  225. 12:49itself sometimes you got ositis of the
  226. 12:52flex
  227. 12:53oralis longest tendon
  228. 12:56and you may got soft tissue edema
  229. 13:00posterior to the Tails and this is a
  230. 13:04good example of posterior ankle
  231. 13:07impingement where there is elongation of
  232. 13:09the lateral process of the tails with
  233. 13:12the surrounding soft tissue edema there
  234. 13:15is no fractures there is no OST trionum
  235. 13:18and there is no bone Maro edema of the
  236. 13:22Tor process and this is also elongation
  237. 13:26of the uh uh of the lateral process of
  238. 13:30the taus known as the ca process with
  239. 13:34the surrounding soft tissue edema of the
  240. 13:37uh related uh soft tissues and also you
  241. 13:43may see in the aial image that the
  242. 13:47flexor longest tendon is surrounded by
  243. 13:50fluid denoting the presence of
  244. 13:54tenosinovitis the aill tendon is intact
  245. 13:57as you can see here then an anterior
  246. 14:01ankle ement is also caused by repetitive
  247. 14:05trauma with ement of the anterior tibia
  248. 14:09against the tus and those who have uh
  249. 14:13some um dorsy flection of the
  250. 14:18ankle then painful and limited dorsy
  251. 14:22flection of the anterior joint line of
  252. 14:25the ankle
  253. 14:26with anterior an
  254. 14:29swelling and you may got some Bon Mar
  255. 14:32edema and sinovial thickening of the
  256. 14:35related soft tissues along the anterior
  257. 14:39aspect of the joint then here and you
  258. 14:42see this small process uh projecting
  259. 14:46anteriorly from the inferior aspect of
  260. 14:48the tibia and another protrusion here
  261. 14:53together with uh thickening of the
  262. 14:55capsule of the joint and some soft
  263. 14:58tissue edema related to the to the
  264. 15:01legion also you can see that the
  265. 15:05anterior tular ligament is considerably
  266. 15:07taken maintaining its normal signal
  267. 15:10denoting chronic strain or chronic
  268. 15:14injury and here an anterior ankle ement
  269. 15:18is usually diagnosed by the presence of
  270. 15:21a small bony process in the anro
  271. 15:23inferior aspect of the tibia and also a
  272. 15:26bony process in the superior aspect of
  273. 15:28the taus
  274. 15:29together with the soft tissue edema of
  275. 15:32and cap capsular thickening of the area
  276. 15:36in
  277. 15:36between and this is a case of severe
  278. 15:39osteoarthritis of the uh ankle joint
  279. 15:43that has resulted in very prominent uh
  280. 15:47and osteophytic liing this will also
  281. 15:50lead to anterior ankle impingement but
  282. 15:53this is and the ankle ement here is
  283. 15:56secondary so this Osteo arth IC
  284. 15:59changes now we came to the calcino
  285. 16:02fibular impingement and normally you can
  286. 16:04see that the tus is interposed between
  287. 16:08the fibula and the calanus and in normal
  288. 16:13conditions there is no direct contact
  289. 16:17between the fibula and the calanus but
  290. 16:23if there is
  291. 16:26osteoarthritic uh changes here here uh
  292. 16:29in the talanian joint there will be some
  293. 16:34vulgus deformity of the calanus then the
  294. 16:38taus will go medial and the calcinus
  295. 16:41will go lateral then there should there
  296. 16:44will be a direct contact between the
  297. 16:47fibula and the TS resulting in this
  298. 16:51caleno fibular uh
  299. 16:54impingement and this is the
  300. 16:56demonstration and you can see that there
  301. 16:59is marked narrowing of the T calcan
  302. 17:04joint with uh vulgus deformity of the
  303. 17:09calanus and displacement of the tus
  304. 17:12medially now the fibula is facing the
  305. 17:15calanus and this will result in severe
  306. 17:19stress injury here where as you can see
  307. 17:22narrowing of the joint spaces B Maro
  308. 17:24edema and osteoarthritic changes
  309. 17:28normally if you draw a line from the
  310. 17:31axis of the tibia and a line along the
  311. 17:34medial border of the ganus it will form
  312. 17:37an angle less than
  313. 17:396° but in cases of osteoarthritic
  314. 17:43changes of the talanian joint with
  315. 17:46narrowing of the joint space there will
  316. 17:49be vulgus deformity and the angle will
  317. 17:52be so much increased and this will allow
  318. 17:56direct contact between the TS between
  319. 18:00the ganus and the fibula resulting in
  320. 18:03this Gano fibular impingement and the
  321. 18:06osteoarthritic changes of the Talan
  322. 18:09joint are evident here in the T1 and the
  323. 18:13stair with subarticular pseudocystic
  324. 18:15changes and degenerative bone Mara in
  325. 18:19the coronal image you can appreciate
  326. 18:22that the Tas has displayed medially and
  327. 18:25now the fibula is facing the calcinus
  328. 18:28with severe degenerative changes
  329. 18:30subarticular pseudocystic changes in the
  330. 18:34uh joint interfering between both and
  331. 18:38this is another example of uh displaced
  332. 18:41the fracture with a high food vulgus
  333. 18:43deformity and twoyear history of diffuse
  334. 18:46ankle pain and uh if you look here the
  335. 18:50same situation there is vus deformity of
  336. 18:53the calanus facing the fibula with tr
  337. 18:58compartmental osteoarthritic changes
  338. 19:00between the fibula and the Tais as well
  339. 19:03as
  340. 19:05theales and this is 2D uh surgal and
  341. 19:10coronal reformatted CT images after
  342. 19:15ankle joint arthrography showing the
  343. 19:18classic appearances of Elin fibular
  344. 19:22ement you see severe osteoarthritic
  345. 19:25changes of the subtor joint with most
  346. 19:28total obliteration of the joint space
  347. 19:31prominent osteophytic living of the
  348. 19:33articular surfaces then you can see that
  349. 19:36there is direct almost direct contact
  350. 19:39between the calanus and the fibula with
  351. 19:42this articulation developing secondary
  352. 19:46osteoarthritic changes now we came to
  353. 19:49the fractures around the ankle and the
  354. 19:51foot the ankle fractures are classified
  355. 19:54by weaper into three types A B and C and
  356. 19:58the fracture uh the fracture type is
  357. 20:04detected according to its position in
  358. 20:08relation to the syndesmotic complex you
  359. 20:11remember that we have two uh ligaments
  360. 20:15on the lateral aspect of the ankle the
  361. 20:19uh hopular ligaments and the syndesmotic
  362. 20:23complex the syndesmotic complex can be
  363. 20:27appreciated in the Blain
  364. 20:29x-ray at the uh point where the fibula
  365. 20:34is almost in contact with the tiia this
  366. 20:38is the site of the cnis mosis if the
  367. 20:40fracture is below the cnis mosis this is
  368. 20:43type A if it is at the level of the cnis
  369. 20:46mosis this is type B if it is above the
  370. 20:50synes mosis this is Type C and this film
  371. 20:55will show the three types of fractures
  372. 20:59and also the mechanism of inury in each
  373. 21:03type of these
  374. 21:08[Music]
  375. 21:14[Music]
  376. 21:27fractures
  377. 21:32[Music]
  378. 21:41[Music]
  379. 21:55[Music]
  380. 22:05okay then uh these are once more the the
  381. 22:09three types of fractures and the type A
  382. 22:13is below the syis mosis and this is the
  383. 22:16side of the cnis Moses and then if you
  384. 22:18can see from the video that frequently
  385. 22:21the medial malus is fractured as well
  386. 22:24during the three types of throne but
  387. 22:28uh you have to to decide or to see the
  388. 22:31fracture type and this is the site of
  389. 22:34the synes mosis the fracture is below
  390. 22:36and this is type A look carefully for
  391. 22:40the uh medial malus if it is fractured
  392. 22:43or not and also look behind the ankle
  393. 22:47for fracture of the posterior aspect of
  394. 22:50the tiia if this is fractured and this
  395. 22:55one and this one the fracture is known
  396. 22:57as Tri mular fracture type B will
  397. 23:01involve the fibula at the level of the
  398. 23:04cnis mosis and the syndesmotic complex
  399. 23:08will be ruptured in uh more than 50% of
  400. 23:12the cases and it may be also associated
  401. 23:15with uh rupture of the deltoid ligament
  402. 23:18and medial uh mular uh fracture this is
  403. 23:23an example and you see the fracture it
  404. 23:25at the level of the CIS mosis with the
  405. 23:28fracture of the medial malus as well and
  406. 23:31this is type B and here is a type B
  407. 23:34fracture you can see the fracture at the
  408. 23:36level of cmosis the nearest point
  409. 23:39between the fibula and the tibia and the
  410. 23:42medial malus is intact and this is an
  411. 23:45accessory Ole at the medial malus type
  412. 23:50type c is the fracture above the CES
  413. 23:53mosis the CES mosis will be injured the
  414. 23:56medial collateral ligament will be
  415. 23:58injured as well with possible fractures
  416. 24:00of the medial malas then here is the
  417. 24:05fracture above the level of the cmosis
  418. 24:08the medial mulus is intact and also the
  419. 24:11posterior mulus is intact this is what I
  420. 24:15mean by Tri mular uh fracture it is a
  421. 24:19fracture of the lateral mulus medial
  422. 24:22malus and the posterior aspect of the
  423. 24:24tibia this is known as Tri mular uh
  424. 24:29fracture and here is another example and
  425. 24:32you see the fracture of the fibula the
  426. 24:34fracture of the medial malus and if you
  427. 24:37look carefully here and you can see the
  428. 24:39fracture of the posterior aspect of the
  429. 24:42TB then complications of fractures
  430. 24:45around the ankle include uh dislocation
  431. 24:48or sublation of the ankle joint
  432. 24:51stiffness osteoarthritis ankin stability
  433. 24:55nonunion and Mal Union of the uh of the
  434. 24:59fractures then we came to the fractur of
  435. 25:02the foot and we would like to have some
  436. 25:04words about less France injury Sher
  437. 25:07injury aulion fractures snowboarder
  438. 25:10fracture Jones fracture calcan and
  439. 25:13stress fractures the Les France ligament
  440. 25:16is the ligament between the second and
  441. 25:19the first metatarsal bones and this
  442. 25:23ligament is ruptured
  443. 25:25during or by a crush injury on or aial
  444. 25:30load to the planter flexed foot then if
  445. 25:33the ligament is ruptured then you got
  446. 25:35separation between the first and the
  447. 25:39second metatarsal bones which is easily
  448. 25:42appreciated on the uh plane x-rays
  449. 25:46normally if you draw a line along the
  450. 25:49medial border of the second metor bone
  451. 25:52it will form a gentle curve with the
  452. 25:55medial with the middle uniform bone but
  453. 25:59in cases of lis France uh ligament
  454. 26:03injury you got widening of this space
  455. 26:06and if you draw a line there will be a
  456. 26:08step deformity like this one diagnostic
  457. 26:12of L France engine and this is L franch
  458. 26:15injury and you can see the wide
  459. 26:18separation between the second and first
  460. 26:20metal bone and if you draw a line then
  461. 26:23you will got the step deformity between
  462. 26:26the metal and the middle uniform or the
  463. 26:29inter intermediate uniform bone this is
  464. 26:32diagnostic of Les France injury and then
  465. 26:36the short Port injury is the fracture
  466. 26:39dislocation of the mid torsal joints of
  467. 26:42the foot it affects mainly The Tao
  468. 26:46navicular and the Calia CID joints
  469. 26:50actually this fracture is well
  470. 26:52appreciated in the uh lateral x-ray of
  471. 26:56the ankle or the sagittal images of the
  472. 26:59CT or MRI the foot is usually dislocated
  473. 27:03medially and superiorly as it is blunter
  474. 27:08flexed and inverted frequently
  475. 27:12associated with fractures of the related
  476. 27:15Bones the calcinus the cuboid and the
  477. 27:17navicular but the tus usually remains
  478. 27:21intact and its relation with the tabia
  479. 27:25is preserved
  480. 27:28then if you have the frontal X-ray and
  481. 27:31the oblique X-rays of the foot this is
  482. 27:33the normal uh frontal and oblique
  483. 27:36X-rays and this is the Sher injury you
  484. 27:40cannot appreciate the injury uh all you
  485. 27:44can see that there is this disturbance
  486. 27:47of the relation of the uh torsal bones
  487. 27:50with loss of the clear joint definition
  488. 27:53between the bones
  489. 27:56itself themselves
  490. 27:58then uh if you have the lateral x-ray
  491. 28:01this is the normal relation between the
  492. 28:04calcinus and the CID the taus and and
  493. 28:08navicular but you can appreciate easily
  494. 28:11here that the foot is dislocated
  495. 28:13superiorly with disruption of the
  496. 28:16related joints and if you have the CT
  497. 28:19scan you can also see this is the normal
  498. 28:22appearance of the tus and the navicular
  499. 28:25and the tiia the tus will remain will
  500. 28:28remain or may maintain its relation to
  501. 28:31the to the tibia but there is disruption
  502. 28:35of the taon navicular and calcan CUO
  503. 28:38joints with Superior dislocation of the
  504. 28:42uh mid foot then uh the fractures of the
  505. 28:47fifth metatarsal bone include aulion
  506. 28:50fracture Jones stress and shaft
  507. 28:52fractures these are this the four types
  508. 28:56of the uh fractures then in young
  509. 28:59persons you have to uh uh to
  510. 29:03discriminate between the line separating
  511. 29:08the Abes from the fracture line the the
  512. 29:14aices uh before uh being united to the
  513. 29:18shaft where the line separating will be
  514. 29:22more vertical or oblique but the
  515. 29:25fracture line will pass
  516. 29:27horizontal like this one then if you
  517. 29:30look to this foot and you see that there
  518. 29:34is aulion fracture of the TP of the
  519. 29:37fifth metad doal bone and 90% of uh the
  520. 29:43base of the fifth
  521. 29:45metatarsal uh fractures affect this this
  522. 29:49type of the avulsion fracture and it is
  523. 29:54usually uh seen in uh
  524. 29:58tennis players because of the frequent
  525. 30:01inversion injuries of the ankle and foot
  526. 30:04and this fracture has an excellent uh
  527. 30:08prognosis and if you uh draw a line
  528. 30:13separating this part of the uh of the
  529. 30:17metatarsal bone from the shaft this is
  530. 30:19the actual side of the aversion fracture
  531. 30:23if the fracture is above here like this
  532. 30:27and this will be Johan's fracture and
  533. 30:30this is an evulsion fracture of the base
  534. 30:32of the fifth C tors bone and this is
  535. 30:36what I mean by Jan's fraction if you
  536. 30:39draw a line here the the this line will
  537. 30:43indicate the sight of the aulion
  538. 30:46fracture but if the fracture is above
  539. 30:49then this is Jones fracture which has a
  540. 30:53high risk of
  541. 30:55nonunion and this is the joint fracture
  542. 30:58It is Well above the site of the
  543. 31:02evulsion fracture of the base of the
  544. 31:04fifth metatarsal
  545. 31:06bone the lateral teral process fracture
  546. 31:10also known as snowboarder fracture
  547. 31:14because it affects usually those who are
  548. 31:18playing on the snow and uh this is the
  549. 31:22appearance of the fracture by coronal uh
  550. 31:26reformated City the image of the ankle
  551. 31:29this is the fibula and this is the tibia
  552. 31:31this is the tus and you again got the
  553. 31:33fracture of the lateral process of the
  554. 31:36Tails this fracture may be missed on the
  555. 31:39plane x-ray but it can be easily
  556. 31:42appreciated on the C scan this is the
  557. 31:46sustentaculum which looks medially then
  558. 31:48this is the lateral process of the TS
  559. 31:51which is fractured then we came to the
  560. 31:54calcan fractures and the Cal canus is
  561. 31:58the most commonly fractured dorsal bone
  562. 32:01it accounts for about 2% of the
  563. 32:04fractures and 60% of all torsal bone
  564. 32:09fractures sometimes it is known as the
  565. 32:13lover fracture or kazanova uh fracture
  566. 32:17because in the old days uh some of the
  567. 32:21lovers used to climb the tree or the
  568. 32:26bbes reaching the um the girl who are
  569. 32:32loving then many times he is discovered
  570. 32:36by the parents and they try to jump from
  571. 32:38a high uh from a height and fall in his
  572. 32:43uh ankles with commonly fractured
  573. 32:49calcinus and the fracture is usually
  574. 32:51bilateral and may also be associated
  575. 32:54with spinal fractures there are many
  576. 32:58angles to judge the calcan fracture but
  577. 33:01usually the fracture is evident in the
  578. 33:03plan xray and then the CT as well if you
  579. 33:06draw a line tangential to the superior
  580. 33:09surface of the calanus and another line
  581. 33:12tangential to the posterior surface of
  582. 33:14the calanus then you measure the angle
  583. 33:17between these two
  584. 33:18lines this angle should be in the range
  585. 33:21between 20 to 40° if the calcinus is
  586. 33:26fractured it will be flattened and the
  587. 33:28angle will be decreased and it become
  588. 33:30less more than
  589. 33:3220° then if you uh draw two lines along
  590. 33:37the uh Superior surface of the calcinus
  591. 33:40and they measure the angle in between
  592. 33:42this
  593. 33:43angle normally ranges between 95 and
  594. 33:48105° if the calanus is fractured the
  595. 33:52angle will be more wide and it may be
  596. 33:55greater than
  597. 33:5830° or even there is no an angle at all
  598. 34:02the surface will be uh
  599. 34:05flattened then uh this is the
  600. 34:08normal calcan angle and this is the
  601. 34:12angle uh of fractured calcinus you can
  602. 34:15see the flatten the calcinus and the
  603. 34:18angle is decreased and this is
  604. 34:22bilateral uh calcan fracture for for a
  605. 34:26male 25 years old jumped from a height
  606. 34:30and landed on his feet then you got
  607. 34:33commuted fracture of both
  608. 34:36calanus uh bones and
  609. 34:39here you can see that the calcinus is
  610. 34:42flattened and the angle is almost
  611. 34:46lost uh sometimes minor trauma may
  612. 34:49result in stress fractures and MRI is
  613. 34:53one of the uh best modalities to see the
  614. 34:56fractures of the stress fractures of the
  615. 34:59calanus by demonstrating bone Maro edema
  616. 35:03around the fracture line and if you have
  617. 35:06the blin xray you can miss the fracture
  618. 35:09side but this also can be easily
  619. 35:12identified by the uh strong uptake on
  620. 35:17bone scan
  621. 35:19images there are a lot of
  622. 35:21classifications for calcan
  623. 35:24fracture affecting the um the lateral
  624. 35:28part or the medial part the articular
  625. 35:31surface or not but all what we can
  626. 35:35provide as radiologist is to mention the
  627. 35:39site and the type of the fracture and
  628. 35:41very importantly to to to to indicate if
  629. 35:46it has disrupted the articular surface
  630. 35:49or not then stress fractures are uh seen
  631. 35:54commonly in Runners and then the third
  632. 35:57metatarsal shaft is the commonest side
  633. 36:01for this type of the fracture many times
  634. 36:04you cannot see the fracture itself or
  635. 36:06you may see prominent colors formation
  636. 36:10at the fracture site or just you can
  637. 36:13identify uh localized boster reaction
  638. 36:17meaning that the fracture has uh being U
  639. 36:22healed and the residual changes are only
  640. 36:26seen it's also important to knowe that
  641. 36:29stress fractures are not always visible
  642. 36:31on the initial x-rays if suspected the
  643. 36:35x-rays may may be repeated or you may
  644. 36:38have MRI to uh better see the fracture
  645. 36:43site and the surrounding bone
  646. 36:46marm and we came to the Morton neuroma
  647. 36:50which is known as inter metatarsal
  648. 36:52neuroma and it this is not a neuroma by
  649. 36:57uh the mere word this is just a very
  650. 37:00neural fibrosis around the blanter
  651. 37:03digital nerve and these are the the
  652. 37:06blunter digital nerves and the the site
  653. 37:10of the neuroma is commonly seen in the
  654. 37:14third metatarsal space and less
  655. 37:18frequently it can be seen in the second
  656. 37:21space but the rest of the spaces are
  657. 37:24rarely affected by this disease
  658. 37:27and uh it is uh
  659. 37:30frequently uh the result
  660. 37:33of irritation of this uh Space by uh
  661. 37:38let's say minor traa or something like
  662. 37:41this then you got very neural fibrosis
  663. 37:44forming a mass which is painful and this
  664. 37:48Legion may be bilateral in about 10% of
  665. 37:51the cases then here is the MRI of a
  666. 37:56patient with Morton neuroma you got a
  667. 37:59dumble shaped leion insinuated between
  668. 38:03the
  669. 38:04metatarsal uh heads in the third
  670. 38:08commonly in the third space and um this
  671. 38:11Legion being a fibrous tissue will
  672. 38:14appear uh black or of blue signal and
  673. 38:18the T1 uh relative minimal increase
  674. 38:22signal in the t2 image but if you inject
  675. 38:25contrast it will show significant
  676. 38:28enhancement then we came to the blunter
  677. 38:31fasciitis which means inflammation of
  678. 38:33the blunter fascia and is considered the
  679. 38:35most common cause of heel pain this uh
  680. 38:40pain is usually uh felt on
  681. 38:46weightbearing the causes include the
  682. 38:48stress or repetitive trauma like in
  683. 38:51Runners for example degenerative or in
  684. 38:56uh some of the um arthroses like Ser
  685. 39:00negative Bly spilo arthropy and closing
  686. 39:04spondilitis rer and psorisis
  687. 39:07and in the Blain xray you can just see
  688. 39:11only kcan spare but this is not diagnos
  689. 39:15diag diagnostic of blunter fasciitis
  690. 39:18since the calcan SP can be seen in
  691. 39:24asymptomatic uh
  692. 39:27and is not an indication of planter
  693. 39:30fitis but in order to diagnose planter
  694. 39:33fasciitis it should have MRI looking at
  695. 39:37the blunter fascia which is uh in in
  696. 39:41these in those patients will be
  697. 39:43thickened and will show abnormal signal
  698. 39:47it may be ruptured and also may show uh
  699. 39:50soft tissue edema in the heel bad of fat
  700. 39:54in the form of low signal in the T1 and
  701. 39:58high signal in the t2 and the stair
  702. 40:00images you can compare these appearances
  703. 40:04by the normal blunter fascia the normal
  704. 40:07thickness and the normal soft tissues
  705. 40:11around the fascia
  706. 40:13itself then here you can see by the BL
  707. 40:16film calan spare and this is not enough
  708. 40:19for diagnosis of plant
  709. 40:21fasciitis MRI you can see the fascia is
  710. 40:25thin and you got some fluid signal at
  711. 40:29its anatomic site and also you can see
  712. 40:32uh edema of the subcutanous soft tissues
  713. 40:35if you have a bone scan or isotop scan
  714. 40:39and you got evident uptake related to
  715. 40:42the site of inflammation this is the
  716. 40:45normal lunter fascia and this is the
  717. 40:48fascia which is affected by
  718. 40:52inflammation we came to the torf two and
  719. 40:55this this is in stress injury due to
  720. 41:00extreme uh dorsy flexion and
  721. 41:03hyperextension injury of the toe as you
  722. 41:05can see here and this is frequently
  723. 41:09referred to as sand toe as it is common
  724. 41:13in sand volleyball uh players and um
  725. 41:17this uh pattern of injury will put too
  726. 41:22much stress on the uh ligaments and tend
  727. 41:26related to the big two will result in
  728. 41:31this in this particular disease which is
  729. 41:35known as for to this is seen in
  730. 41:39professional athletes but not specific
  731. 41:43for a particular type of sport any sport
  732. 41:47which is associated with this position
  733. 41:50can lead to this injury and you know
  734. 41:54that the big two and at the metu fenial
  735. 41:58Joint there are two cisoid bones that
  736. 42:01are connected by a ligament known as the
  737. 42:04inter cisoid ligament and each cisoid
  738. 42:07bone is connected to the phic by a
  739. 42:09ligament which is known as the lateral
  740. 42:13and the medial cisoid ligaments any
  741. 42:16injury of this ligamentous complex or
  742. 42:19any strain and soft tissue uh damage
  743. 42:23will result in this uh tor two and here
  744. 42:27is a drawing after removal of the head
  745. 42:32of the metatarsal bone you see the two
  746. 42:35cids medial and lateral the inter cisoid
  747. 42:39ligament the ligament connecting the
  748. 42:42cisoid bone to the uh fings
  749. 42:46and this should be uh this Integrity
  750. 42:49should be maintained in order uh uh to
  751. 42:53maintain the function of the uh BTO
  752. 42:56then here is the uh coronal image of the
  753. 43:01foot at the level of the
  754. 43:04first metatarso Fingal joint and you can
  755. 43:08see that there is capsular stretching
  756. 43:11and some soft tissue edema here and
  757. 43:14there which is diagnostic of turf to
  758. 43:18then you can compare the normal
  759. 43:20appearance of the uh of the ligaments
  760. 43:24and the rupture of the ligament with uh
  761. 43:27uh bone soft tissue edema at the side of
  762. 43:31the uh of the ligament and you should
  763. 43:34have the coronal images in order to see
  764. 43:39the which is which is Sid ligament has
  765. 43:43ruptured to differentiate between the
  766. 43:45medial and lateral one like this here
  767. 43:48and you can see this is the normal
  768. 43:50appearance of the of the ligament and
  769. 43:53this is rupture of the medial uh system
  770. 43:56oid Fingal Fingal
  771. 43:59ligament then we have some of the issues
  772. 44:02that has been discussed previously uh in
  773. 44:06many topics in the topic of vol
  774. 44:08arthropathy and in the in the knee and
  775. 44:12uh maybe uh in different joints and this
  776. 44:16is uh the pigmented villonodular cites
  777. 44:20this is an idiopathic disease of unknown
  778. 44:24ethology it is a articular disease
  779. 44:27results in binless swelling of the joint
  780. 44:31and Bin will develop after progression
  781. 44:34of the disease with affection of the
  782. 44:37bones and articular surfaces it is the
  783. 44:40squally of deposition of uh pigments in
  784. 44:45hypertrophied cium resulting in big
  785. 44:49sinovial uh masses interfering with the
  786. 44:53uh mechanical uh joint MO movement and
  787. 44:57these pigments will uh produce uh masses
  788. 45:01of low signal in the T1 and the low
  789. 45:04signal in the t2 withed images uh but if
  790. 45:07you inject contrast material they will
  791. 45:10enhance after contrast injection these
  792. 45:14lesions are treated by removal of the
  793. 45:17covi and in this image you can see big
  794. 45:21low signal masses in the T1 weighted
  795. 45:23image in the back of the ankle joint and
  796. 45:26some smaller lesions in the anterior
  797. 45:28aspect of the joint and here you can see
  798. 45:32low signal lesions in the anterior
  799. 45:34aspect of the ankle in both T1 and T2
  800. 45:37withed image if you inject to contrast
  801. 45:39material and the lesion will enhance and
  802. 45:43this is also pigmented volod sinovitis
  803. 45:47big Mass posterior to the ankle a
  804. 45:49smaller one anterior to the ankle low
  805. 45:52signal in the T1 low signal in the
  806. 45:54gradient image if you in to contrast
  807. 45:56material the lesions will
  808. 45:59enhance and this is also another example
  809. 46:02of pigmented vular sinovitis of the
  810. 46:06ankle a bigger Mass anterior and a
  811. 46:09smaller one posterior but you remember
  812. 46:12in order to diagnose this as pigmented V
  813. 46:15cobitis the lesions will be will appear
  814. 46:18dark in the T1 and dark in the t2 images
  815. 46:21and they will enhance after contrast
  816. 46:24injection then we came to the uh issue
  817. 46:27of diabetic foot and you know the
  818. 46:29changes in the foot of diabetics are
  819. 46:33secondary to the combination of reduced
  820. 46:35the blood supply due to arterial
  821. 46:37sclerosis reduced sensation due to
  822. 46:40pereral neuritis and the the super added
  823. 46:42infection the changes will start by the
  824. 46:45formation of what is known as colus and
  825. 46:49this colus is like you can see it's an
  826. 46:52indurated skin which is related to the
  827. 46:55pressure point Point especially under
  828. 46:57the heads of the first and the fifth
  829. 47:00metatarsal bones in amary amary
  830. 47:04diabetics those who are walking uh here
  831. 47:08and there but in bed readen patients the
  832. 47:11uh this colus will develop and over uh
  833. 47:16under the heel or over the heel and the
  834. 47:19lateral
  835. 47:20mules then uh uh this colors will is is
  836. 47:25made of indurated soft tissue it will
  837. 47:28show low signal in all B sequences by
  838. 47:31MRI and it will enhance if you inject
  839. 47:34the contrast material later on the
  840. 47:37neuropathy will result in skin dryness
  841. 47:40and fissures and this will result in uh
  842. 47:44ulceration which is aggravated by uh
  843. 47:47minor trauma and this ulcers uh if they
  844. 47:52reach the size of 2 cm they will
  845. 47:54penetrate the underlying soft tissues
  846. 47:57resulting in sinus tracts and these
  847. 48:00sinus tracts will uh be an provide an
  848. 48:05access for the infection to go deep in
  849. 48:08the soft tissues and this may result in
  850. 48:10soft tissue abses and also may affect
  851. 48:14the bone resulting in
  852. 48:16osteomyelitis and the de penetration of
  853. 48:20the skin in and the subcutaneous tissues
  854. 48:25by
  855. 48:26this inflammatory process is known as
  856. 48:29cellulitis and cellulitis is confined to
  857. 48:32the skin and subus tissue later on the
  858. 48:36infection will affect the muscles and
  859. 48:38the facial blaines will result in a mass
  860. 48:42of
  861. 48:42inflammatory uh granulation tissue known
  862. 48:45as the Fon when this Mass liquefies and
  863. 48:50curates it will result in an absis
  864. 48:53formation and this absis formation being
  865. 48:57intimately related to the tendons of the
  866. 49:00uh of the food may lead to
  867. 49:03tenosinovitis and this tenosinovitis may
  868. 49:07result finally in tear of the related
  869. 49:11tender then uh diabetic motor neuropathy
  870. 49:17will result in acute muscle denervation
  871. 49:20which will uh present by muscle swelling
  872. 49:23and edma an m and later on you got
  873. 49:27severe muscle atrophic changes and fatty
  874. 49:31infiltration the role of different
  875. 49:34Imaging modalities in evaluation of
  876. 49:36diabetic food the x-rays are can uh show
  877. 49:42soft tissue swelling due to inflammation
  878. 49:44can show vascular and soft tissue
  879. 49:46calcification due to arterial
  880. 49:50sclerosis can show radio foreign bodies
  881. 49:53and you know that foreign bodies
  882. 49:55penetration is common in diabetics due
  883. 49:57to Associated uh neuropathy and foreign
  884. 50:01body if it is opaque it will appear on
  885. 50:03the Blain film if not it will appear as
  886. 50:07signal void structure in all B sequences
  887. 50:09by MRI surrounded by inflammatory
  888. 50:13granulation tissue which will enhance if
  889. 50:15you inject contrast material also the
  890. 50:18Blain xray may may show gas Shadows due
  891. 50:21to gas forming organism or necrotizing
  892. 50:23fasciitis can show bone erosions and
  893. 50:26Bone sclerosis and this is an example of
  894. 50:29diabetic food with necrotizing fasciitis
  895. 50:33and you can appreciate the extensive
  896. 50:35gases in the uh in the soft tissues also
  897. 50:39by by Blain film in you can see
  898. 50:42destructive changes in the bone
  899. 50:44secondary to osteomylitis Bone
  900. 50:46resorption fragmentation and Bone
  901. 50:50sclerosis by MRI you can see the colous
  902. 50:53legion which appears black in all B
  903. 50:56sequences you can see the ulcers and the
  904. 50:58sinus tracts you can see cellulitis Fons
  905. 51:02and abses and you can see foreign bodies
  906. 51:05as I have mentioned and also you can see
  907. 51:08bone Maru edema of the uh food bones
  908. 51:12osteomyelitis bone erosion bone
  909. 51:15sclerosis and muscle atrophy with fatty
  910. 51:18changes you can see here there is uh
  911. 51:22soft tissue swelling uh
  912. 51:25the big two with low signal in the T1
  913. 51:29High signal in the t2 and post contrast
  914. 51:32enhancement denoting the Fon of uh which
  915. 51:36is a mass of inflammatory granulation
  916. 51:39tissue also MRI can see destructive bony
  917. 51:43changes can see uh deep soft tissue
  918. 51:48inflammatory uh masses can see skin
  919. 51:51ulcerations and can see uh bone
  920. 51:54sclerosis
  921. 51:55if you
  922. 51:57got areas of low signal in all bu
  923. 52:00sequences you can see Bor Maro edema
  924. 52:02which will appear of low signal in the
  925. 52:05T1 and high signal in the t2 and this is
  926. 52:09also diabetic osteitis with septic
  927. 52:13arthritis the delion affects here the
  928. 52:16middle caniform bone which is black in
  929. 52:19the T1 bright in in the t2 withed image
  930. 52:23you may not appreciate these changes in
  931. 52:25the Blaine x-ray because of the
  932. 52:27sensitivity of MRI uh for bone Maru
  933. 52:31edema this is the effected bone in the
  934. 52:34t2 if you inject uh bone Maro edema of
  935. 52:38whatever ethology will enhance wi
  936. 52:40contrast by MRI and this image showed
  937. 52:43that also the third metatarsal bone is
  938. 52:47involved as
  939. 52:48well then you came to what's known as
  940. 52:51ghost sign and ghost sign is an indicat
  941. 52:56of the presence of neuro
  942. 52:58osteoarthropathy with super added Osteo
  943. 53:01myit the signs means that you cannot uh
  944. 53:05uh see the the margins of the Bony
  945. 53:08lesions in T1 weighted image but you can
  946. 53:12see the margins clear after injection of
  947. 53:16contrast material and in this patient
  948. 53:19with diabetic foot and you see an ulcer
  949. 53:21here and also you can see both soft is
  950. 53:25edema and extensive bone Maro edema of
  951. 53:28the ganus if you inject contrast
  952. 53:30material the bone Maro edema will
  953. 53:32enhance and you got the
  954. 53:35osteomyelitis clear and this is known as
  955. 53:39the ghost sign then one of the major
  956. 53:43complications of di diabetic food is the
  957. 53:46development of neuropathic uh
  958. 53:48arthropathy or the shal joint which has
  959. 53:52also many uh other underlying causes
  960. 53:56like spinal uh diseases brain injury and
  961. 53:59so on
  962. 54:01and charot uh neuro
  963. 54:05osteoarthropathy there is a
  964. 54:08degenerative uh Progressive destructive
  965. 54:12changes of the bones and joints of the
  966. 54:15of the foot and um this is uh secondary
  967. 54:19to uh the absence of sens sensation due
  968. 54:23to the associated neurological disorder
  969. 54:26and the super added uh infection as well
  970. 54:30as the uh traumatic insults today
  971. 54:35diabetes is the most common ethology of
  972. 54:38uh sharot neuro
  973. 54:41osteoarthropathy then um if you uh look
  974. 54:44by the Blain x-ray the affected joint
  975. 54:48will appear as if it has been HED by
  976. 54:52this very strong Hummer then you got the
  977. 54:56destructive changes disorganization and
  978. 54:59fragmentation with bone sclerosis
  979. 55:02fractures and fragmentations narrowing
  980. 55:04or widening of the joint space Market
  981. 55:07bony sclerosis large amount of bony and
  982. 55:11soft tissue debras per hostal NE neone
  983. 55:14formation and this are summarized in
  984. 55:17what is known as the five D this
  985. 55:20organization the structive changes deas
  986. 55:24density in incase and deformity and this
  987. 55:27is the the
  988. 55:31shood neuro arthropy of the ankle and
  989. 55:35and foot diabetes is the most common
  990. 55:38cause of this appearance and in the
  991. 55:42early stages and you can see this as a
  992. 55:45clinical inflammation of the foot itself
  993. 55:48but later on and you got a change in the
  994. 55:50axis of the foot uh this this is the
  995. 55:53normal appearance and this is the uh let
  996. 55:58us say flattening of the foot arches
  997. 56:01with bon deis in the superior aspect of
  998. 56:03the joint also you can use MRI and CT
  999. 56:07for uh the diagnosis of charal joint you
  1000. 56:11will I think they will not add uh too
  1001. 56:14much information to the Blan xray you
  1002. 56:16see bone sclerosis bone debris uh the
  1003. 56:21structive changes in the joints and the
  1004. 56:23derangement of the
  1005. 56:25uh articulation between the affected
  1006. 56:30joints and G is also one of the lesions
  1007. 56:34that can one of the diseases that cause
  1008. 56:37lesions in the food and the gout may be
  1009. 56:41primary due to over production of uric
  1010. 56:43acid or failure of its renal excretion
  1011. 56:47or may be secondary to many of the
  1012. 56:50diseases the hyperuricemia will result
  1013. 56:53in deposition of uric acid crystals in J
  1014. 56:57articular uh position and this is
  1015. 57:01commonly seen at the metatarsal joint of
  1016. 57:04the big to but it also can affect the
  1017. 57:07rest of the foot joints and also the
  1018. 57:10hands the the erosions are classically
  1019. 57:13sharp punched out erosions and they
  1020. 57:17start adjacent to the Joint line and
  1021. 57:20later on they will affected the joint
  1022. 57:23line and may cross to affected the
  1023. 57:25opposite bone as well then you got
  1024. 57:28severe destructive changes and big soft
  1025. 57:32tissue Mass which is known as uh tofi or
  1026. 57:36uh the the
  1027. 57:38inflammatory uh granulation tissue uh
  1028. 57:42that has resulted from uh this
  1029. 57:45deposition of uric acid crystals and you
  1030. 57:48see affection of the interial joint and
  1031. 57:51the metop Fingal joint of the
  1032. 57:53foot finally osteoarthritis can affect
  1033. 57:58uh any of the joints in the in the hand
  1034. 58:00and in the foot and ankle and um the the
  1035. 58:05usual manifestations are similar to any
  1036. 58:07ostearthritis anywhere in the body
  1037. 58:10meaning that there is narrowing of the
  1038. 58:12joint space subarticular Bon sclerosis
  1039. 58:15osteophytic libing of the articular
  1040. 58:18surfaces maybe subarticular pseudocystic
  1041. 58:20changes maybe intraarticular gas and
  1042. 58:23maybe lose bodies especially in in large
  1043. 58:29joints thank you very much
