	Hyperextension trauma to the elbow: radiological and ultrasonographic evaluation in handball goalkeepers - British Journal of Sports Medicine
	Conclusions: The findings support the theory that repetitive hyperextension trauma to the elbow in handball goalkeepers results in pathological changes...

	Lap belt iliac wing fracture: a predictor of bowel injury in children - Pediatric Radiology
	Conclusion: These cases illustrate the high frequency of bowel injury in pediatric patients with iliac wing fractures associated with lap belt use...

November 22, 2002   Value of knee imaging by GPs requires rigorous assessment - British Medical Journal Conclusion: Access to magnetic resonance imaging by general practitioners is at risk of becoming standard policy without rigorous evaluation...   Ectopic endplates induce localized changes in skeletal muscle ultrastructure - Muscle & Nerve These results may help to elucidate the role played by motoneurons in the determination and maintenance of muscle fiber properties and the processes that occur following muscle reinnervation after nerve injury...   Ultrasonographic measurement of median nerve cross-sectional area in idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome: Diagnostic accuracy - Muscle & Nerve We determined whether measurement of the nerve cross-sectional area was useful in making the diagnosis of CTS...   November 20, 2002   Preoperative Hip to Ankle Radiographs in Total Knee Arthroplasty - Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research Conclusion: Preoperative hip to ankle long leg radiographs taken with the patient standing did not significantly help to obtain a neutral mechanical axis during routine total knee arthroplasty...   November 19, 2002   Non-accidental injury: a retrospective analysis of a large cohort - European Radiology The radiology literature describing the injuries of child abuse is very extensive. Articles on the distribution of injuries and the way in which a diagnosis was reached are less frequent. This article represents the detailed analysis of a cohort of patients, suspected of being victims of abuse, referred to the authors. It necessarily reflects personal experience and is not a population study. The distribution of the injuries in a cohort of 467 patients is reviewed...   Metatarsophalangeal Joint of the Great Toe: Normal MR, MR Arthrographic, and MR Bursographic Findings in Cadavers - Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography MR imaging and MR arthrography allow accurate visualization of the important anatomic structures in and about the MTP joint of the great toe...   Vertebra Disc Ratio as a Parameter for Bone Marrow Involvement and Its Application in Gaucher Disease - Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography The VDR is a useful parameter for evaluation of bone marrow of patients with GD. The VDR correlates very well with Ff, so applicability is expected in diseases in which Ff has proven to be useful...   Kinematic MRI of the Normal Shoulder Using a Specially Designed Positioning Device - Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography Kinematic MRI can provide information on the labrocapsular ligamentous complex without the need for intraarticular injection of a contrast agent...   MR Patterns of Involvement of Humeral Head Osteonecrosis - Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography Quantitative analysis of the percentage of involvement of the humeral head was performed and indicates that in most cases, 75% to 100% of the articular surface at the levels measured was involved...   Reliability and Validity of Lumbosacral Spine Radiograph Reading by Chiropractors, Chiropractic Radiologists, and Medical Radiologists - Spine Conclusions. Small differences with little clinical relevance were found. All the professional groups could adequately detect contraindications to chiropractic treatment on radiographs. For this indication, there is no reason to restrict interpretation of radiographs to medical radiologists. Good professional relationships between the professions are recommended to facilitate interprofessional consultation in case of doubt by the chiropractors...

November 14, 2002   Successful treatment of total talar dislocation with closed reduction: a case report - Foot and Ankle Surgery Conclusion: Radiographs and a new MRI scan showed preservation of joint spaces and confirmed the absence of avascular necrosis...   November 12, 2002   Intravertebral Clefts Opacified during Vertebroplasty: Pathogenesis, Technical Implications, and Prognostic Significance - American Journal of Neuroradiology Conclsuion: Intravertebral clefts are much more common than previously described and probably represent fracture nonunions. Imaging is not sensitive in detecting these clefts before vertebroplasty. We advocate complete filling of the cleft with cement during vertebroplasty to maximize stabilization of the fracture fragments. There is a trend toward greater pain relief being achieved 6 and 12 months after the procedure in patients with clefts that are opacified at the time of vertebroplasty...   Contrast between Scar and Recurrent Herniated Disk on Contrast-Enhanced MR Images - American Journal of Neuroradiology Conclusion: With clinical imaging of patients with recurrent herniated disks, disk fragments enhance less after the administration of an ionic rather than a nonionic medium. Contrast between disk fragment and scar tissue is greater after the use of an ionic contrast medium than a nonionic one...   The Therapeutic Benefit of Repeat Percutaneous Vertebroplasty at Previously Treated Vertebral Levels - American Journal of Neuroradiology The clinical outcomes of the patients within this case series suggest that repeat percutaneous vertebroplasty performed at previously treated vertebral levels for recurrent pain offer therapeutic benefit...

	Clinical and radiographic scores in haemophilic arthropathies: how well do these correlate to subjective pain status and daily activities? - Haemophilia
	Treatment of painful symptoms from arthropathies is often insufficient. Scores and questionnaires may help to define the haemophiliacs pain status more clearly, thereby offering a possibility of assessment and long-term observation...

	Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Stump Entrapment in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears: MR Imaging Appearance1 - Radiology
	To describe the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging appearance of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) stump entrapment in patients who presented with decreased knee extension after rupturing the ACL...
