Bone bruise
Bone bruises (also known as bone contusion, trabecular microfracture) are an osseous injury that results from compression of bone structures.
Pathology
Bone bruises represent trabecular microfractures with hemorrhage and without a discrete fracture line or contour abnormality 4. They typically...

Posterolateral corner injury of the knee
Posterolateral corner (PLC) injury of the knee can occur in isolation or with other internal derangements of the knee, particularly cruciate ligament tears. The importance of injuries to the posterolateral ligamentous complex lies in the possible long-term joint instability and cruciate graft fa...
Article
Anterior cruciate ligament tear
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are the most common knee ligament injury encountered in radiology and orthopedic practice.
Epidemiology
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly disrupted ligament of the knee, especially in athletes who participate in sports that involve...
Article
Dorsal intercalated segment instability
Dorsal intercalated segment instability (DISI) is a form of carpal instability featuring dorsal tilt of the lunate. It occurs mainly after the disruption of the scapholunate ligament and is more often encountered than volar intercalated segment instability (VISI).
Clinical presentation
radial ...

Anomalous insertion of the medial meniscus
Anomalous insertion of the medial meniscus (AIMM) is an anatomical variation of the insertion of the anterior root of the medial meniscus.
Terminology
Defined as a congenital variation in the insertion of the anterior root of the medial meniscus onto the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The...
Article
Muscle contusion
A muscle contusion (a.k.a. muscle bruising or bruise) is a form of muscle injury usually due to direct impact and associated with intramuscular hemorrhage.
Epidemiology
Muscle contusions are common injuries and are more frequently seen in males 1,2. In athletes, muscle contusions are the most ...
Article
Temporal bone fracture
Temporal bone fracture is usually a sequela of significant blunt head injury. In addition to potential damage to hearing and the facial nerve, associated intracranial injuries, such as extra-axial hemorrhage, diffuse axonal injury and cerebral contusions are common. Early identification of tempo...

Blast injuries are traumatic injuries sustained due to the energy released during a rapid chemical or nuclear reaction or the escape of gas under high pressure. They can affect numerous organ systems.
Epidemiology
Blast injuries may occur in any number of situations including in combat, indust...
Article
Burst fracture
Burst fractures are a type of compression fracture related to high-energy axial loading spinal trauma that results in disruption of a vertebral body endplate and the posterior vertebral body cortex. Retropulsion of posterior cortex fragments into the spinal canal is frequently included in the de...
Article
Depressed skull fracture
Depressed skull fractures result in the bone of the skull vault being folded (depressed) inward into the cerebral parenchyma. It is usually the result of a high energy impact to the skull.
Pathology
These mostly (~75%) occur in the frontoparietal region 3.
Associations
There are a number of ...
Article
Orbital blow-in fractures
Orbital blow-in fractures are characterized by an inferior displaced injury of the roof of the orbit, usually due to a sudden traumatic-induced increase in intracranial pressure.
Clinical presentation
Complications
orbital blow-in fractures are associated with intraorbital injuries
extraocul...
Article
High-velocity penetrating brain injury
High-velocity penetrating brain injuries, in practical terms most often due to cranial gunshot injuries, are a form of penetrating traumatic brain injuries, which are much less common than blunt traumatic brain injuries and distinguished from low-velocity penetrating brain injuries (such as stab...
Article
Rectus femoris muscle injury
Rectus femoris muscle injuries are muscle injuries, which encompass contusions, strains, tears and avulsions of the rectus femoris muscle.
Epidemiology

Article
Rib fractures
Rib fractures are a common consequence of trauma and can cause life-threatening complications.
Epidemiology
Associations
Rib fractures are often associated with other injuries and the greater the number of rib fractures the more likely are associated injuries 1,3:
brachial plexus or subclavi...
Article
Skull fractures
Skull fractures are common in the setting of both closed traumatic brain injury and penetrating brain injury. Their importance is both as a marker of the severity of trauma and because they are, depending on location, associated with a variety of soft tissue injuries.
This article will focus o...
Article
Manubriosternal dislocation
Manubriosternal dislocation (or sternomanubrial dislocation) represents a range of dislocation injuries of the sternomanubrial joint.
Terminology
Joint dislocations are named according to the distal component in relation to the proximal bone. Thus, as the manubrium is superior to the sternum a...
Article
Urethral injury
Urethral injuries can result in long-term morbidity and most commonly result from trauma. The male urethra is much more commonly injured than the female urethra and is the focus of this article.
Clinical presentation
In the setting of trauma, the classic triad of blood of the external urethral...

Extradural hemorrhage
Extradural hematoma (EDH), also known as an epidural hematoma, is a collection of blood that forms between the inner surface of the skull and outer layer of the dura, which is called the endosteal layer. They are usually associated with a history of head trauma and frequently associated skull fr...
