This one was the, uh, osteoporosis.
0:03
But, uh, also the, uh, the key
0:07
saline finding we were trying to share was the, uh,
0:11
subc chondral insufficiency fracture.
0:14
I don't know if you can, hopefully you can see
0:16
Ah, yes. Okay. My,
0:17
uh, yes, yes, yes. Cross hair
0:18
Here.
0:19
Yeah. Um, but the key that I wanted to just, uh,
0:23
highlight, um, yeah.
0:25
For this office office hours Yeah.
0:27
Was, um, a, a few, a few of the, uh,
0:32
reports that I saw, um, uh, perhaps did not notice,
0:38
uh, the, uh,
0:40
subc chondral insufficiency fracture here.
0:43
Uh, there was, uh, everyone mentions the, uh,
0:47
robust marrow edema in the femoral head.
0:50
Yes. Yep. But, uh, the key was probably this, uh, sort
0:54
of within this robust edema to notice this
1:00
hypo intense line paralleling the contour
1:04
of the femoral head diagnostic
1:06
of a subc chondral insufficiency fracture.
1:09
And there's even a little, is there a little step sort
1:11
of there on the Yeah. Sort
1:13
Of weird Crosses there. A little step,
1:15
Probably sort of maybe right here. Yeah. Yeah.
1:18
Which Some people would bring up the differential
1:21
of vascular necrosis, which certainly on the differential.
1:25
Um, okay. And a couple of things to try to help parse out
1:29
between the two is mm-hmm.
1:31
Uh, what I like to use is sometimes, um,
1:35
with ash necrosis, the hyperintense line will, in, instead
1:40
of paralleling the contour of the femoral head,
1:43
it'll be sort of, uh, concave Oh,
1:46
Yes. Towards
1:47
Versus, uh, paralleling
1:49
and sort of convex with the, uh, femoral head contour.
1:53
Yeah. So I
1:54
See, okay. But
1:55
in actuality, would, yeah.
1:56
When both start to collapse, it can be difficult
1:59
and probably, yeah.
2:01
You know, histology histologically sometimes I guess it
2:04
may be hard for Yeah.
2:06
Uh, our pathologists to, uh, figure out.
2:10
Yeah. Uh, yeah.
2:12
And probably on the spectrum at some point,
2:13
but the, you know,
2:15
those are definitely on the two differentials.
2:17
Gotcha. So, so essentially here, the, if,
2:20
if there's words more likely to be a VN, um, you would get
2:23
that, that concave sort of lower margin sort
2:26
of dipping down more into the femoral thing.
2:27
Yeah. Whereas this one is just running so parallel to it.
2:32
Yeah, exactly. Okay. Exactly. Yeah.
2:34
Nice. And,
2:35
and pathologically in terms of this one, this is,
2:39
this is basically occurring
2:41
because of the, you know,
2:43
the quite severe osteoarthritic changes present.
2:47
Yeah. That, that is, that is Mechanics
2:50
Frail bones.
2:52
Right. Gotcha.
2:55
Yeah. Typically seen in Yeah.
2:57
Older individuals, uh, and with frail bones
3:00
or, you know, perhaps someone that's just, uh, uh,
3:05
you know, nutritional deficient or, uh, perhaps, uh mm-hmm.
3:10
You know, overdoing it with, uh, right.
3:13
Uh, a combination of, uh, uh, perhaps,
3:18
uh, you know, uh, suboptimal nutrition
3:21
and maybe overdoing it with their workouts.
3:23
But I mean, either, either way, I guess. Yeah.
3:26
Obviously it's called, you know,
3:28
if it's a insufficiency fracture or a VN with fracture.
3:31
Yeah. You know, the, the edema, you know, w would be
3:36
in theory, uh, you know, robust with both.
3:40
But, uh, those are, yes.
3:42
That's one way I, I try to differentiate between the two.
3:45
Okay. Yeah. Okay. Um,
3:47
Yeah, and I sup I suppose also, you know, you may,
3:49
you may be lucky enough de depending on the referrer, um,
3:53
you may be lucky enough to get some, you know,
3:55
extra useful information, say like, you know, steroids
3:58
or some other things, um, in the background, um,
4:02
which I suppose is, is variable to, to help, to help sway,
4:06
um, sway things too.
4:07
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Excellent.
4:09
Excellent. Yeah. And I guess too, the another point, uh,
4:14
I guess too would be to help if, if,
4:18
depending on protocols, um, where at my institution
4:21
where I'm at, we, on our hips, especially in older patients,
4:25
we'll get a large field of use stir, uh, yes.
4:28
And T one sometimes, uh, T one sometimes,
4:31
but most often at least a stir.
4:33
And obviously if it's AAV n
4:36
or systemic disease, you know, it, you know,
4:39
it can be bilateral.
4:40
So that's another thing that could help.
4:42
Um, oh, indeed. Yeah.
4:43
You know, um, could there be,
4:45
in theory one could raise a question, you know,
4:47
could there be bilateral insufficiency fractures, I guess.
4:51
Sure. You know, but I guess another thing that,
4:53
That's a lot less common Yeah.
4:55
Is insufficiency fractures in other, other locations
4:58
or history of, and, and that kind of goes to your Sure.
5:01
Um, point of, you know, additional history perhaps
5:05
around steroids or had radiation,
5:07
you know, in and around the hip.
5:09
You know, maybe like a, a prostate or,
5:11
or a, a ob gyn cancer perhaps, you know?
5:14
Sure. And look for other, you know, uh, acetabular
5:18
or, uh, pubic ray mi or,
5:20
or even like sacral
5:21
insufficiency fractures, things like that.
5:23
Maybe that'll help. Um, okay.
5:25
You know, parse out the differential sometimes too.
5:28
So I don't know if you're running large field of view stirs,
5:31
um, at your institution, you know, sometimes, um, you know,
5:35
go looking around at other joints
5:37
and, uh, maybe that'll help sometimes
5:38
to parse those out. Okay.
5:41
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Very good. Very good.
5:45
Yeah. Well, I, I, I'll leave it to your discretion as
5:48
to the next case you, you wanna look at.
5:51
Oh, I think, I think that was the main one that, uh,
5:57
that, uh, was, was brought up.
6:00
And then the other, uh, I'll say the,
6:05
probably the hip one.
6:06
Yeah. Oh, yes.
6:08
So I, I did, um, I did see your, um,
6:12
your review of this one.
6:15
Yeah. Um, on laughter,
6:16
but yeah, very, very happy also to, to see in,
6:19
um, in real time.
6:21
I was, um, uh, my, I I actually thought
6:25
that this was just a, um,
6:26
a very large tear on the posterior labrum,
6:29
but in fact, it's, it's clearly more than that
6:31
because it's actually getting into the,
6:34
the bone itself, isn't it?
6:36
Yeah. So here we can probably better on the T twos
6:40
'cause it brings out not, uh, not just the, the, uh,
6:44
the dark T two signal of the, uh, you know,
6:48
fibrocartilage, uh, yeah.
6:50
Uh, uh, labrum.
6:51
But also you can see the similar, uh, sort of, uh,
6:56
osseous fragment and, uh,
6:57
Ah, the, the marrow,
6:59
The marrow signal with the, uh, acetabular limbus
7:01
or the posterior wall here.
7:03
Ah. So that's probably the key.
7:05
And, you know, the eyes just don't register it
7:09
'cause it's sort of blends in together with that, uh, lab.
7:13
Uh, you know, with that, uh, the labrum just runs along with
7:17
that, uh, OCI fragment
7:20
and hard to tell to, um, sometimes you don't, um,
7:25
get, as in this case, uh, there wasn't a
7:29
corresponding, um, fracture of the, uh,
7:34
femoral head to, uh, you know, to be, as a tip off
7:39
that there was a, a transient hip, uh,
7:41
subluxation or dislocation.
7:43
Um, but, uh, this robust edema within the posterior,
7:49
uh, muscles here.
7:50
Uh, yes. You know, the, uh, you know, you have like
7:54
edema outlining the, uh, Gail
7:57
and sort of, uh, piriformis,
8:01
You Ator, what have you.
8:03
Uh, yes. That's one thing to think about,
8:05
transient hip dislocation.
8:08
And then with that, you know, go looking
8:10
for the accompanying potential, um, femoral head, uh, in,
8:15
uh, osteochondral compaction fracture,
8:17
and sometimes you get a, uh, tear of the, uh, ligament
8:20
and terries and, and whatnot.
8:22
So that's sort of the, oh,
8:24
That's, that's, that's really this one.
8:27
Really nice and nuanced. Yeah.
8:28
'cause I suppose that's maybe, I mean, I've,
8:30
I've not seen this before
8:32
and, you know, as I was, you know, saying earlier,
8:34
it's like, you know, I've only, I only just started doing
8:36
some SK stuff, basically only needs about six months ago.
8:39
But that's a really nice nuanced, um,
8:43
sort of aspect of this one.
8:44
And that, yeah, there's nothing on that feral head
8:47
to tip off a, a rank such as myself
8:50
and say, oh, well that must have banged up against the
8:53
posterior, or, you know, lateral margin of
8:55
that fractured acid tablum.
8:57
Yeah. Um, and, uh, those axial, T two does show that
9:01
that little rim of residual, that arc of marrow,
9:04
if you wish, if you will Yeah.
9:06
At the base of the labrum, um,
9:08
it shows it really, really nicely.
9:09
Whereas the, the really heavily water weight one's not,
9:13
I think, sort of obscures it a bit relatively. Yeah.
9:16
Um, so like this T one Yeah.
9:19
This T one sort of ru you see
9:22
that bony fragment running with the,
9:24
Uh, Uh, fragment of the, uh, posterior labrum there,
9:28
maybe better on the T twos here.
9:31
Yep. Right there.
9:33
Yeah. Like there Yeah. Where you see the arc of it. Yeah.
9:36
Or even like right here, that arc. That's correct.
9:38
The labrum running with the, uh, push your, your lip of the,
9:42
uh, as to have a wall there.
9:44
So something to think about.
9:45
I thought this was a, a nice case.
9:47
We, I'll probably see this, uh, maybe once or twice a year.
9:51
Um, typically like an athlete.
9:54
For, for us it's usually gonna be like a, uh,
9:58
like the last time I saw this was, uh,
10:00
was in a soccer player
10:01
and, uh, an American Oh, really? Football player. Yeah.
10:04
I was gonna say, I, it's the sort of thing I would expect.
10:06
I, I don't, uh, you know, I don't follow NFL,
10:09
but I, I would imagine it's the sort of thing
10:11
that if you've got a, you know, 350 pound guy jumping Yeah.
10:15
Back in certain spots, or I guess,
10:17
You know, you may see it with rugby
10:19
Players, guess that would surprise me.
10:20
Yeah. Rugby and a a FL, um, a FL players as well
10:24
as in Australian football.
10:26
Yeah. Yeah. But it's, um, yeah, it's,
10:29
it's quite a, it's quite an injury.
10:31
And the, the expense of sounding a bit, um, bit naive
10:35
or ignorant in terms of treatment for this, would they,
10:38
would the surgeon like tack that back on with a couple
10:40
of screws or something?
10:42
Or would they just leave it be and see how it healed?
10:45
I, I, I've seen, I mean, obviously, uh,
10:48
it's gonna be patient specific, but I've seen it couple
10:52
Ways. Yeah.
10:53
Right, right. Um, you know, especially larger fragments,
10:56
uh, where yeah, there's potential instability,
10:58
what have you, and, and to prevent that early osteoporosis.
11:02
Ah, yes, of course.
11:03
I, I've seen a, I've seen a couple cases where they'll go in
11:06
and, uh, you know, tack it down, sort
11:08
of treat it like a push your ask to have a wall fracture.
11:12
And I've seen another where, you know, they've just sort
11:14
of left it and, and, uh, with conservative management.
11:18
So yeah, I've seen it both ways.
11:20
Hmm. No, that's a, that is a, it's a really, really,
11:24
um, yeah. Really nice case.
11:27
Yeah. Um, It depends on, um, yeah,
11:30
what we have terms athletes, but you never, you never know.
11:33
I mean, sometimes things just turn up, you know,
11:35
you can have a, a, a kid playing something at high school
11:38
or doing something silly
11:39
and, you know, turn up with this kind of thing too.
11:42
I suppose it all depends on the, on the, on the, um,
11:45
the method of injury
11:47
and, um, you know, if the,
11:48
if the vector force is going in the right way,
11:51
well, this is what happens.
11:53
Yeah. I, I, yeah, obviously sort
11:55
of a posterier translation, so Yeah.
11:57
Yeah. Nifty one. Oh, that's great.
12:03
Yeah. Did you have any, uh, other questions
12:07
or concerns about the week seven cases, sir?
12:10
Um, those
12:11
Are the two major issues that I wanted to bring up.
12:13
Yeah, no, I think I'm just, um, just reading on here.
12:16
So, can impingement, pinch impingement? Oh yeah.
12:20
I suppose the only que I did have a,
12:23
I I do not think I picked the, um, the Piner thing at all.
12:26
And, um, a quick question about the, the pin impingement.
12:31
Is that mm-hmm. Sort of for the labor
12:34
and essentially there, are they, uh, for want
12:37
of a better word, are they sort of just elongated
12:39
or it's actually the, the margins of the acetabulum sort
12:43
of crimping in more as well?
12:46
Yeah. Uh, so, you know, as, as you know, I think it's,
12:49
it's also the, the margin, uh, right of, of the,
12:54
uh, acetate and sort of oss osteophytosis once the,
12:59
you know, labrum degenerates and whatnot.
13:01
And, and you can sort of appreciate not just the, uh,
13:05
the osteoporosis that's already present,
13:09
but, uh, sort of that creates a sort
13:11
of a lobster claw, if you will.
13:14
And, and that yes. Deformity
13:15
and that over coverage around the, uh, femoral head.
13:18
Um, but you know, this person's obviously,
13:21
as you can see here, especially sort of, uh, superiorly,
13:25
they've already started to loss lose cartilage. Um,
13:28
Yeah. Little bit of
13:29
subc chondral edema happening and, and,
13:31
and that, and then, um,
13:33
and the, the labrum doesn't look like a normal black signal.
13:36
Yeah.
13:38
Gray. Yeah. And then You could degener.
13:40
Yeah. Yeah. Again, you can see that sort of, uh, uh,
13:44
you could even appreciate the irregularity
13:47
and sort of early remodeling that's going on undulation here
13:51
of the, uh, acet as subcon bone plate of the acet,
13:56
not just the, uh, over coverage by the osteophytes.
13:58
And you could also see here, you know, the femoral head, uh,
14:03
neck, sort of ossified collar here of the,
14:05
uh, at the femur as well.
14:07
This person's already, well on their way, unfortunately,
14:10
into, uh, osteoporosis and, and, uh, yeah.
14:13
Perhaps even ultimately a, a,
14:15
a hip replacement, but, you know.
14:17
Sure. Uh, and that the, the o the overgrowth there, the,
14:20
the s tablet degeneration, so does that then, uh, in a sense
14:24
of, I suppose, well, they're getting pain
14:26
for the osteoarthritis, but also the, the pinch effect that
14:29
what rubs on the, I suppose on the capsule
14:32
and the cartilage, the neck and so forth?
14:35
Yeah, I, I, I mean, most, most of the time, right.
14:37
It's gonna be, well, yeah, it's gonna be a,
14:40
a combination, right?
14:41
There's the two major flavors of cam and the pincer type,
14:45
but basically the, uh, incongruency between the femoral head
14:48
and the acetabulum.
14:50
So yes. You know, we can talk about, um, you know, like a,
14:54
a pincer type with either, you know, a, a sort
14:58
of a global over coverage of the ace haveum,
15:01
or even it could be like a, a focal, right, right.
15:04
Uh, a over coverage or a portion of the acet haveum
15:07
and, and whether mm-hmm.
15:09
It's, uh, a con incongruity between the acetabular,
15:14
uh, and or the femoral head, the cam that is.
15:18
But, uh, you know, most of the time people will say it's,
15:21
it's sort of a mix or a combination.
15:23
It's probably like a, I guess like a continuum,
15:25
but either yes.
15:26
Obviously can lead to that, uh, you know, uh,
15:31
lab degeneration and carre wear.
15:34
And then unfortunately, uh, early osteoporosis, you
15:37
Knows Yeah. Prevent
15:38
that early osteoporosis.
15:39
That's the name of the game. So, um, yeah. Yeah.
15:43
So hopefully that answers Yeah.
15:46
Uh, your question there
15:47
and also adds, uh, to what you were commenting.
15:50
And here too, as you can see, the,
15:52
the labrums not the most pristine, you know,
15:55
obviously likely torn Cys here Yeah.
15:59
With the cyst and the paralegal cysts
16:02
and the little degenerated sort
16:04
of tear ant superiorly quite commonly seen.
16:06
Yes. And as you noted too, the, uh, subcon edema not
16:10
as robust as Yeah.
16:12
The, uh, subcon sufficiency fresh
16:15
that we showed earlier, but Yeah.
16:17
You know, ultimately also Right.
16:19
With enough wear and perhaps Yes, uh,
16:22
superimposed frail bones.
16:23
This, this person's also not only, uh, at risk for,
16:28
uh, getting a hip replacement,
16:30
but, uh, obviously it potentially, uh,
16:33
insufficiency fracture one day as well as they Yeah.
16:36
Sort of, uh, unfortunately wear down the cartilage
16:40
and then the bone and,
16:42
and potentially, uh, form that fracture.
16:44
So not as robust edema,
16:46
and we don't see that hypo intense line now,
16:48
but, uh, also Yeah, sure.
16:49
At for that probably. Yeah. Yeah.
16:53
Oh, that's good. Yeah. I got, I got portions of this case.
16:56
I did not get this specific pin episode, so on.
16:58
But again, I, um, I'm actually glad in a sense,
17:03
I, um, I'd actually feel sort of a bit hard done
17:06
by if I was getting everything right,
17:07
because as I say to my trainees,
17:10
'cause I'm said in interventional and neuro,
17:13
and, uh, I say them, I wanna see you guys making mistakes,
17:16
because if you're not making mistakes, well, number one,
17:20
I become redundant.
17:21
And number two and number two, um, that's,
17:25
you know, that's when you learn.
17:27
Um, so that's why I've, I've found that you
17:30
and your colleagues review of all these cases, so Excellent.
17:32
'cause even if I'm getting, you know, some
17:35
of them mainly right or, or, or a little bit, right.
17:38
It's, um, again, there's a lot of that nuance and, uh,
17:41
and these smaller findings that, you know, sort
17:44
of bring it together much better.
17:46
So, um, no, great. No, no. Yeah.
17:48
Thank you for looking at that one. That's terrific.
17:50
Yeah. Glad, glad to, glad to help.
17:52
And, uh, good discussion. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah,
17:56
Indeed.
17:57
Um, yeah, so I think, I think that's probably it,
18:02
week seven.
18:03
Um, okay. From my perspective, I said having had a look at,
18:06
um, through the, um,
18:08
Let's, let's pull a couple of week eight cases then, oh,
18:11
is there a specific week eight? I know you, you
18:14
Mentioned Oh yeah, you had just so, um,
18:16
Drop dropped the man by Any Yeah.
18:18
Look, the, um, the, the, the, ah, yeah, the eu, um,
18:22
the EU one Peroneous, I think that was, yeah, that was,
18:25
that was a ripper case.
18:27
Um, because I mean, I thought that just,
18:32
you know, in terms of, I'll tell you what I sort
18:34
of just very quickly what I thought then that, you know,
18:36
they had long lamina tears in, um, the,
18:40
what I thought were both peroneous tendons,
18:42
but I see from your title there more peroneous brevis,
18:45
so gross thickening, gross, you know, tenino virus
18:49
per perino edema, ganglion cyst, et cetera.
18:52
Couple of specific questions mm-hmm. Please.
18:57
The, the marrow edema in the Alis,
19:00
I've been on the calcan, sorry.
19:02
Um, the, the Meema
19:03
and the Calcan, I was really taken with that.
19:06
Yeah. And is that all reactive to this process? Yeah,
19:10
Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Sometimes
19:11
you'll, you'll just sort of see it
19:12
and, and here you can even,
19:14
That was incredible.
19:15
You could even see here the, I mean,
19:17
the little spike from the Peral tubercle
19:20
and yeah, I believe it's an article out of, uh,
19:24
the Mass General, the Boston, the Boston group, they sort
19:28
of looked at sizes of the, uh, perineal tubercle.
19:31
Um, and I think the, the cutoff they found was if you,
19:35
if you sort of draw a line along the wall, lateral wall
19:39
of the, uh, calcan or calcaneus,
19:42
and then you, you drop a 90 degree to that, um,
19:47
to the wall essentially.
19:49
And if you measure out, I believe the cutoff was, uh, six
19:53
or seven millimeters, if you like, measurements.
19:57
Right. But what they found,
19:59
I don't think it made the threshold,
20:01
but sort of if you have a prominent peroneal tubercle, um,
20:06
you know, that can be a, a predisposing factor
20:10
to perineal tendon pathology
20:12
because the tubercle, as you can see here, forms, uh,
20:16
the border, um, for the, uh, brevis,
20:21
uh, superiorly or at its, uh, superior aspect.
20:25
And the long is at its inferior aspect.
20:27
But you could imagine too, that a large one could in theory,
20:30
crowd the area and sort of lead to, uh, uh,
20:34
perineal tendon pathology.
20:36
But yeah, every once in a while we'll see this sort
20:39
of robust edema related to the peroneal tendon tear.
20:43
And, and here, uh, just a nice case, uh, of, uh,
20:48
both tendons being tendon and sort of partially torn here.
20:52
And as you pointed out, sir, the, uh,
20:55
robust tenino synovitis, um, really a, uh, a nice example
21:00
of that here and
21:02
Sort of in, yeah, I thought that was,
21:05
Uh, along with that reactive edema.
21:07
So this is a great case here.
21:09
Yeah. And that's really, really iffy.
21:10
But yeah, I was, um, I must say I was, I was, I say put off,
21:14
but, um, it was more just, uh, you know, when I saw
21:17
that edema as well, I thought, wow, is this just, you know,
21:20
like prolonged really severe tenitis
21:24
with the tears and so on?
21:25
Because I didn't, uh, I wasn't sort of necessarily aware
21:28
that you could actually get such, um, you know,
21:30
reactive edema from it.
21:32
And you're pointing out
21:33
that peroneal tubical is not something I specifically picked
21:36
up on, but it does make such good sense
21:38
because, you know, without sticking out and rubbing on them
21:42
and so forth, some pretty, pretty significant forces across
21:46
that cubicle and that bone
21:48
and that, um, those tendon sheets there.
21:51
Um, yeah, that's really good.
21:53
So in terms of chronicity of this, this is something that,
21:56
this is not something this has just turned
21:58
up in a week or two.
21:59
So this has been going on for a prolonged length
22:03
of time, I assumes.
22:04
Yeah, I I, I would assume so. Yeah.
22:06
I would surmise this, uh, is not something acute. Yeah,
22:11
Yeah. Yeah.
22:12
Like, it may have, you know, it may have hit, um,
22:15
you know, it may have hit critical mass to the point where,
22:18
you know, there's just so sore
22:19
and painful they presented out.
22:20
But yeah, looking at that, that degree of that, you know,
22:24
fluoride Yeah.
22:25
Edema and soft tissue, tissue swelling, it's, um, yeah.
22:28
It's quite, quite a case.
22:31
Yeah. And,
22:32
and one, one thing to bring up too is, is, you know,
22:35
on the differential when you see this sort of, you know,
22:39
when I see this sort of tendon pathology too,
22:41
and sometimes tenosynovitis mm-hmm.
22:43
I'll just, uh, run the bones real quick too and,
22:46
and then also correlate with the patient history and,
22:50
and, uh, the, their medical records.
22:53
But, uh, one to one, right.
22:54
One potential thing to think about is perhaps someone with,
22:58
uh, like an inflammatory arthropathy, right? So, oh,
23:02
I see, okay. You know, I'm
23:03
looking for potential like erosions
23:05
of the bones or, and synovitis.
23:08
So just glancing real quick, making sure
23:11
that this is not just, uh, you know, teno synovitis
23:14
and tendon tear, uh mm-hmm.
23:16
Simple one, but perhaps one
23:17
that's also could be related in theory to, uh, uh,
23:20
underlying inflammatory arthropathy.
23:22
So Right. Like in this case, you know, I'll,
23:25
I'll look glance real quickly at some common area, you know,
23:28
look at quickly at the joints,
23:30
make sure there's no robust synovitis or mm-hmm.
23:32
You know, sort of joint erosions
23:34
or even like perhaps a retrocalcaneal, uh, bursitis.
23:39
So just to clear those real quick along
23:41
with such a t synovitis.
23:44
And when you say arthro,
23:47
you mean like essentially a primary, you know,
23:50
primary arthropathic conditions
23:51
or things like say connective tissue disease,
23:54
Such as Yeah, like a rheumatoid arthritis.
23:56
A rheumatoid, yeah. Gotcha. Okay. Okay. Yeah,
23:59
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
24:00
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Very good.
24:04
That's, and then, and then other things too, like,
24:06
you know, Tino, if, if there was such a robust t synovitis,
24:10
uh, you know, other things like, you know,
24:11
perhaps like a crystals, uh, yeah.
24:14
You know, I guess worst case scenario, uh, you know, uh,
24:19
I guess, you know, with such robust t synovitis, you know,
24:22
you wanna make sure you're not also missing a septic teno
24:25
synovitis, you know, perhaps if there's like, yeah.
24:28
Marrow edema by the fifth metatarsal or,
24:30
or nearby, make sure there's no overlying wound, things like
24:34
that to also contribute to such, you know, yep.
24:37
Uh, tenin. But, uh, we don't see such, uh, uh, any
24:42
of those findings or, or led with the history.
24:44
And this just likely all just related to the
24:47
perineal tendinopathy.
24:49
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, that was the, the, the infection
24:53
option did come to mind when I was looking at this
24:55
because I was so unfamiliar with that, that fact
24:57
that you can get that, you know, edema,
25:00
and so that marrow edema in relation
25:02
to tenino cell superior.
25:04
And, um, but yeah, I think I sort of did dismiss that.
25:07
'cause assuming that, you know, the clinical history with,
25:10
there was no mention of say, you know, fevers
25:12
or raised white cell count or anything.
25:13
But, um, yeah, that's a very good thought
25:17
to also in the background always,
25:19
always rule out the infection, eh,
25:21
because, um, you know, not, I suppose including
25:24
that if there was a history suspicious that, um,
25:27
wouldn't necessarily be a good outcome.
25:29
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
25:31
Oh, that's a, that is a really, really good case.
25:34
Yeah. That's really, really nice. Nice classic case there.
25:39
Any other, any other ones
25:41
communicate you'd like to go over, sir?
25:43
Um, I think I was pretty comfortable
25:46
with the osteomyelitis.
25:47
Um, and I think the navicular stress
25:51
factor, I thought that was fine.
25:52
Oh, the case three here, complex regional pain syndrome.
25:57
Oh, yes. It's, now that I, I mean,
26:01
I got some findings on this, um,
26:05
but in terms of, you know, that I'll, you know,
26:09
be bluntly honest, I was never gonna come out
26:11
and say, you know, cr
26:16
CRPS slash reflex sympathetic dystrophy or whatever.
26:19
To me, there's more, more like say a, um, a neuropathic foot
26:24
with sort of some collapse of the longitudinal arch.
26:27
Yeah. Uh, to some degree and all this meed and so forth.
26:30
So, yeah, I suppose as if I could,
26:33
if I could mine you on the, the nuance of this as to
26:38
why this is, you know, the crps, um,
26:41
Yeah. So
26:41
Rather than say the neuropathic,
26:44
I think, I think neuropathic, I, I, uh, in all honestly,
26:49
I think, uh, I definitely would have raised the possibility
26:53
of a, uh, neuropathic joint here.
26:56
Mm-hmm. Um, you know, not just, um,
27:00
because of the marrow edema, but here mm-hmm.
27:05
On this, uh, T one, you know,
27:08
I think the T one brought it out best.
27:10
Like you just have an absent PTT tendon, you know,
27:14
so I would've, I would've, uh, worried,
27:17
and here obviously you, you know, you're,
27:19
we're missing the PTT, the postage to be tendon
27:22
where it should be at the medial retro maal groove.
27:25
So obviously completely torn.
27:27
So I would've worried that this person is a diabetic
27:30
with a charcot foot.
27:32
Um, um, and, but, uh, and,
27:35
and also I, I personally, and,
27:39
and anecdotally the way I was trained was to
27:43
shy away from sort of, uh,
27:46
complex regional pain syndrome, um mm-hmm.
27:49
Being, because it, it, it sort of has, uh, to some people,
27:55
uh, especially like insurance companies here in the states,
27:59
uh, a stigmata of Yes.
28:01
Uh, you know, being a difficult, uh, sort
28:04
of patient to, to manage it.
28:06
Yeah. Yeah. And I don't want absolutely that
28:08
to affect their, uh, sort of coverage, if you will, sir.
28:12
Indeed. So indeed, I, I, I hardly diagnose, uh,
28:17
um, complex regional pain syndrome
28:20
or, you know, sude atrophy or whatever terms you use.
28:23
Um, yes. But the key here to potentially raise
28:27
that diagnosis is, um, classically some
28:31
of the stuff you see on this case is the robust soft tissue
28:35
edema, and then Right.
28:36
The sort of, uh, um, splotchy, uh, marrow edema.
28:41
But you can sort of appreciate
28:43
that it's more based sort of Yeah.
28:46
Um, but you can also see this sort of, uh,
28:49
marrow edema pattern, certainly with the charco joint.
28:52
So the charco I would've probably, uh, put on, um,
28:58
on the higher on the differential, but obviously I think,
29:01
and then we could sort of get into the academics
29:04
and semantics of it too.
29:06
And, and, you know, one could perhaps even argue it sort of
29:09
the two are probably maybe even, uh, uh,
29:13
on a continuum if you, if we wanna think about it too.
29:16
Right. So, yeah. Um, and I suppose,
29:18
but I, I would've certainly added Charcot in,
29:20
in my differential here.
29:22
Uh, okay, good. With that possibility.
29:24
Well, I'm very sure. Well, well, that's, that's good.
29:26
Yeah. It's, um, uh, I, I like your description of
29:30
that splotchy marrow Yeah.
29:32
Signal change. Yeah. Because that the, when you sort
29:35
of think about that is Yeah, that is indeed what it,
29:38
what it looks like, um, yeah.
29:41
And the soft tissue edema. Um, yeah.
29:44
I suppose that's not necessarily the case with your,
29:47
your typical charcot one maybe. Um,
29:49
Yeah, no, but like an acute charcot right.
29:51
Can, can present with the
29:53
cellulitis sort of picture. Oh, indeed,
29:55
Indeed. So
29:56
for sure. So before you get all the collapse
29:58
and, you know, disorganization, dislocation
30:01
of the bones and, and yes.
30:03
And what have you. So certainly I think Charcot is,
30:06
is a great differential if not diagnosis for this case.
30:10
You know, and, and as you pointed out earlier through, uh,
30:14
you know, with the, the pt, the Postier, tbi, oin
30:18
and tear, we're losing that dynamic stabilizer of the, uh,
30:22
the, of the longitudinal arch.
30:23
So some of this mar edema could also, uh, one can argue,
30:28
you know, that it's, um, you know, related
30:31
to altered biomechanics, right?
30:33
Yeah, for sure. Sort stress changes
30:34
and we're just not seeing, you know, fractures
30:37
yet or what have you.
30:38
Right. So again, that sort of points out to maybe it's all,
30:42
it is all perhaps tied together,
30:44
but I mean, Charcot, you know, along with, uh, you know,
30:49
PTT tendon sort of, uh, dysfunction
30:52
and ultra biomechanics, certainly on, uh,
30:55
all on the differential with, uh,
30:57
this complex regional pain syndrome diagnosis
31:00
for sure. In, in my opinion.
31:02
Okay. Excellent. Yeah. Excellent. Yeah.
31:05
Well, that's another, uh, another ICE case,
31:07
but you know, I'll let, I'll let you in on a secret.
31:09
I didn't actually even pick up that the PTT was torn.
31:12
I did, I did pick up on that,
31:14
but hey, that's, that's why I'm doing,
31:16
that's why I'm doing this relationship course,
31:20
but, um, at least there's good enough
31:22
to pick up the collapse of the arch and so on.
31:24
But you see now, I'll never look at one
31:25
of these again without going straight to look at the PVT and
31:30
Yeah, no, no, the, the Key, it's intact, you know?
31:33
Yeah. So the key to remember also,
31:35
right, and, and what I, yeah.
31:36
What I try to, what, what Dr.
31:38
Resnick, my mentor and,
31:39
and now, uh, uh, co c colleague, uh,
31:43
always teaches me is yeah, learn
31:45
to count the tendons in the, on, in the back of the, uh,
31:48
of the back of the ankle and ankle, right?
31:50
So count the tendon, just make sure you have five, right?
31:53
So three medially, two laterally, okay.
31:56
And then that, that will always help you
31:58
to pick up obviously the, uh, the, all the accessory muscles
32:01
that you can have back here.
32:03
Mm-hmm. That's, that's probably the
32:04
main reason that I do it now.
32:06
Uh, gotcha. But, you know, uh, and,
32:08
and you should be calling, you know, uh, if,
32:11
if you're a a numbers person,
32:13
you should be calling a per peroneous corus every about
32:16
every fourth MRI of the ankle that you read, right?
32:19
Oh, okay. So apparently the incidence is about, uh,
32:23
you know, out there in the world is about, uh, 4, 4 20 5%,
32:27
depending on if you read about 25% of people have, uh,
32:31
prunus cordes muscles.
32:32
So every, every fourth Mr.
32:35
In theory, you should be expect
32:37
to see perhaps a a per a per peroneous cortis.
32:40
And, and that, with that, with that present that, you know,
32:44
I'll, I'll mention the report, the Peroneous Cortis
32:47
for instance, but kind of going back
32:48
to the perineal tendon tear case, you know, that could lead
32:52
to crowding, uh, of the, uh, uh, of the
32:57
lateral aspect of the ankle, along with other things such
32:59
as the low lying brevis
33:00
and the prominent peroneal tubercle
33:03
that we were talking about and lead to, uh,
33:05
peroneal tendinopathy or tearing as well.
33:08
So, Hmm. You should, you should be saying that.
33:10
So yeah, learn to count
33:12
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
33:13
Yeah, just, just, I just do a quick checklist.
33:16
So, so my checklist is I go ligaments, ankle, uh,
33:20
then the ankle tendons,
33:21
and I'll, I'll work the anterior anterior extensors,
33:23
then I'll go to the Achilles,
33:25
and then I'll go medial and then lateral.
33:28
So that's, that's my eyes.
33:30
So I'll just sort of, as I'm scrolling, I'll,
33:33
I'll go cranial to coddle on the anterior extensors,
33:37
then I'll come back up the Achilles,
33:39
and then I'll walk back down the medial flexors
33:42
and then back up the peroneals.
33:44
So in like, you know, two, four scrolls, I'm, you know,
33:48
I'm done with the, uh, the tendons
33:49
and that's, that's my, but that's my search pattern.
33:52
Okay, great. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks. That's excellence.
33:57
That's, that, that's, that's the, um, that's,
34:00
that's gold as they say.
34:02
Um, no, that's great
34:04
because, um, I said, you look at a case like this, say,
34:08
okay, tenants missing, always look for that count
34:12
for five tendons. Fantastic.
34:13
Yeah. Um, and then,
34:15
and then to go along with the tendon counting too, right?
34:18
So the Perus quarters, the next, uh, type of tendon, uh,
34:22
that I typically see will, will be a flexor digitor axis,
34:27
long muscle, and it'll just be a little muscle
34:30
and tendon right over typically the, the, uh, tibial, uh,
34:34
neurovascular bundle right here coming off the, uh, the, uh,
34:38
the flexor retina aum right here.
34:40
So it'll be sitting mm-hmm. Like right there.
34:42
And then the third I'll look for is the accessory solia.
34:44
So that'll be so superficial to the retina ulu,
34:47
and then it'll, it'll sit like right here.
34:50
So yeah, so that's, those are the three major accessory.
34:55
Then you, then we could start getting fancy
34:57
and, you know, looking for things like, uh, you know,
35:00
perineal, calcan internus and,
35:03
and other, you know, rare ones that you may see.
35:06
But, um, but those are the three major
35:08
ones that I look for in the back.
35:10
So the cortis, the FDL, and then the accessory soleus.
35:15
So, okay. Yeah.
35:17
Very good. Sure.
35:19
Yeah. Very good. Okay. Awesome.
35:22
Yeah. Well, thank you. Any other ones on this case?
35:26
No, no, that was great.
35:27
I think that was, that they were the, um, yeah,
35:30
they were the main ones, the titis, I was happy with that.
35:33
Um, the stress fracture, happy and the osteomyelitis.
35:36
So, um, yeah. But no, those, those two were, um, the,
35:39
the perone and that and that one, um, were, that's terrific.
35:44
Got a lot of, a lot of nuance out of that.
35:46
So much appreciated.
35:48
Of course, of course. Happy to help. Cool. Happy to help.
35:52
Awesome. Well, um, thank you.
35:56
I think, um, I think that's the specific
36:00
queries I have for those.
36:01
Um, I feel very lucky it was a one-on-one,
36:06
but, uh, that's very nice. Very nice.
36:08
Happy to assist. Happy to assist. Yeah.
