Prior to maturity, a secondary physis surrounding the patella defines an area of potential weakness. We seek to understand how age, sex, and physeal status affect the prevalence and degree of patellar osteochondral injury and medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injury after acute patellar dislocation.

Bassett's ligament is an accessory fascicle of the anterior tibiofibular ligament that is not well addressed in pediatric patients. In the adult literature, it is known that the ligament is not present in some patients, but may be thickened in the setting of talar dome osteoarthritis. The purpose of our study was to determine the prevalence of Bassett’s ligament and measure its thickness in pediatric patients with MRI findings of lateral talar osteochondral lesions (OCLs), medial talar OCLs, and posterior ankle impingement and compare these measurements with patients with a normal ankle MRI.

Osteochondromas are the most common bone tumor, accounting for 10-15% of all bone tumors. They are prevalent in the pediatric population and are hypothesized to be a developmental anomaly rather than a true neoplasm, frequently asymptomatic and found incidentally. Although usually sporadic and benign, osteochondromas can be associated with Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (MHE) and Trevor disease or can arise after trauma or radiation treatment. In such cases, complications are more common. A good understanding of these complications and their associated radiologic findings is crucial to identify and differentiate variants that will guide treatment. The purpose of this educational exhibit is to review the typical radiologic presentation of osteochondromas using a variety of imaging modalities including X-Ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine scans. Additionally, imaging appearances of complications and variants of osteochondromas such as MHE, malignant degeneration, associated fracture, bursa formation, and tendon or nerve impingement will be discussed. Case examples will be used to highlight these findings and correlate them to patient presentation. Read More
