  2. Non-ossifying fibroma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-ossifying_fibroma

    Medical imaging typically shows a well defined radiolucent lesion, with a distinct multilocular appearance, sometimes looking like bubbles. [2] It is usually around 1–2 cm in size, but be as large as 7 cm. [ 3 ] They consist of foci consist of collagen rich connective tissue , fibroblasts , histiocytes and osteoclasts . [ 2 ]

  3. Brodie abscess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodie_abscess

    A Brodie abscess is a subacute osteomyelitis, appearing as an accumulation of pus in bone, frequently with an insidious onset. [1] Brodie's abscess is characterized by pain and swelling without fever, often resulting from diabetic wounds, fracture-related bone infection, or haematogenous osteomyelitis.

  4. Occult fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occult_fracture

    Lesions in the tibial plateau, hip, ankle, and wrist are often missed. In a tibial plateau fracture, any disruption of the posterior and anterior cortical rims of the plateau should be sought. Impaction of subchondral bone will appear as an increased sclerosis of the subchondral bone (Figure 1).

  5. Giant-cell tumor of bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant-cell_tumor_of_bone

    On X-ray, giant-cell tumors (GCTs) are lytic/lucent lesions that have an epiphyseal location and grow to the articular surface of the involved bone. [8] Radiologically the tumors may show characteristic 'soap bubble' appearance. [9] They are distinguishable from other bony tumors in that GCTs usually have a nonsclerotic and sharply defined border.

  6. Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_pseudarthrosis...

    Pseudarthrosis can be located on either of the two bones of the tibial segment. The prognosis is good if the lesion is located only on the fibula, extension to the tibia has a prognosis similar to type II VI Associated with an intraosseous fibroma or a schwannoma. The prognosis depends on the aggressiveness of the intraosseous lesion

  7. Osteochondroma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteochondroma

    This morphology is typical of a tibial bone spur. Osteochondromas are benign lesions and do not affect life expectancy. [13] Complete excision of osteochondroma is curative and the reoccurrences take place when the removal of tumor is incomplete. Multiple reoccurrences in a well-excised lesion indicate that it may be malignant. [4]

  8. Tibia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibia

    The tibia (/ ˈ t ɪ b i ə /; pl.: tibiae / ˈ t ɪ b i i / or tibias), also known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the larger, stronger, and anterior (frontal) of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates (the other being the fibula, behind and to the outside of the tibia); it connects the knee with the ankle.

  9. Hereditary multiple exostoses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_multiple_exostoses

    Hereditary multiple osteochondromas (HMO), also known as hereditary multiple exostoses, is a disorder characterized by the development of multiple benign osteocartilaginous masses in relation to the ends of long bones of the lower limbs such as the femurs and tibias and of the upper limbs such as the humeri and forearm bones.
