T2 Mapping of the Sacroiliac Joints in Patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis
2020
Purpose: To test whether T2 mapping of the sacro-iliac joints (SIJs) might help identifying patients with spondyloarthritis. Method: This study included 20 biologic-naive patients with axial spondyloarthritis (10 females; mean age: 38 ± 9years; range, 19–47) and 27 controls (16 males; mean age = 39 ± 13years; range = 28–71) who prospectively underwent SIJs MRI at 1.5 T, including a multislice multiecho spin-echo sequence. Standard MRIs were reviewed to assess the SIJs according to the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) criteria and SPondyloArthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) MRI index. T2 maps obtained from multiecho sequences were used to draw regions…
Joint involvement in psoriasis.
1974
21 unselected hospital patients with psoriasis (7 female, 14 males) were examined for joint lesions by clinical, roentgenological and scintigraphical methods (6 mCi99mTc-Pertechnetate, 4 mCi99mTc-Pyrophosphate). According to traditional concepts only 5 patients suffered from psoriatic arthropathy, in 8 other patients an extensive case history revealed some joint complaints.
Radiological analysis, operative management and functional outcome of open book pelvic lesions: a 13-year cohort study.
2011
Abstract We present the clinical and radiological outcome of a 13-year cohort study of 38 open book pelvic lesions. All patients were treated in one Level I Trauma centre. In the posterior pelvis, sacro-iliac diastasis was seen in 31 patients, sacral fracture in 7. In all patients with sacro-iliac diastasis, the pubic bone was inferiorly displaced on the primary ap pelvic overview on the side of injury. All but one patient was treated with open reduction and internal fixation of the symphysis pubis. Additional stabilization of the posterior pelvis was done in 9 patients. 32 patients were seen after a median follow up of 84 months. Majeed score and SF-36 questionnaire were used. Functional o…
T2-mapping of the sacroiliac joints at 1.5 Tesla: a feasibility and reproducibility study
2018
Objective: To evaluate the reproducibility of T2 relaxation time measurements of the sacroiliac joints at 1.5 T. Materials and methods: Healthy volunteers underwent an oblique axial multislice multiecho spin-echo sequence of the sacroiliac joints at 1.5 T. Regions of interest were manually drawn using a dedicated software by two musculoskeletal radiologists to include the cartilaginous part of the sacroiliac joints. A senior radiologist performed the measurement twice, while a resident measured once. Intra- and inter-observer reproducibility was tested using the Bland-Altman method. Association between sex and T2 relaxation times was tested using the Mann-Whitney U test. Correlation between…
Pyomyositis of the iliacus muscle complicated with septic sacroiliitis
2008
We report a rare case of pyomyositis of the iliacus muscle in a 29-year-old woman. After 2 weeks of adequate treatment, secondary septic sacroiliitis occurred, a complication that had not been described previously. Pyomyositis of the iliacus muscle must be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute pain in the hip region.
Tuberkulöse Destruktion des Iliosakralgelenkes
2001
In dieser Kasuistik wird der Fall einer tuberkulosen Destruktion des rechten Sakroliakalgelenks eines 56-jahrigen Patienten vorgestellt. Auffallig sind die verspatete Diagnose durch Verwechslung der Beschwerdesymptomatik mit einer Lumbalgie durch Bandscheibenprolaps und die Abszedierung entlang der Psoasmuskulatur und in die umgebende intra- und extrapelvine Muskulatur. Die Therapie ist eine chirurgische, die durch eine einjahrige medikamentose Kombinationstherapie erganzt wird.
Is there a role for percutaneous pelvic and acetabular reconstruction?
2007
The primary goal in the treatment of pelvic fractures is the restoration of haemodynamic stability. The secondary goal is the reconstruction of stability and symmetry of the pelvic ring. Percutaneous reconstruction can only be accepted if these goals are met. The type of definitive surgery is dependent of the degree of instability of the anterior and posterior pelvic ring. Retrograde transpubic screw fixation of pubic rami fractures is a good alternative to external fixation or plate and screw osteosynthesis. The technique of screw placement and image intensifier control is explained. Internal fixation of pure sacroiliac dislocations, fracture-dislocations of the sacroiliac joint and sacral…
Epiphysäre Dysplasie des Hüftgelenks, Diagnostik und Differentialdiagnostik mit der MRT
1992
Sixteen hip joints of eight patients with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia were examined by clinical investigation, plain films and by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), using T1- and T2-weighted images and gradient echoes. MRI is useful in demonstrating the congruity of the joint, in the changes of the epiphyseal signal intensities and the epiphyseal line. Individual changes of the signal intensity patterns on T1- and T2-weighted scans are described. Although MRI exhibits a variety of patterns in different patients, a clearcut differentiation from Legg-Calve-Perthes' disease is possible.
Minimally Invasive Sacroiliac Joint Arthrodesis: Experience in a Prospective Series with 24 Patients
2014
Background: Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain conservative treatments show poor outcomes. Hypothesis: surgical treatment will show better results. Patients and methods: Prospective series: 24 patients undergoing SI fusion after failure of medical treatment and showing temporary relief with SI infiltration. Period: Nov 2009-July 2013. Gender: 9/15. 11 cases bilaterally (all ). Age: 32-71 years (mean 47.4 years). Height: 161-178 cm (mean 168.2 cm). Weight: 56-84 kg (mean 68.4 kg). Etiology: 12 degenerative/spontaneous, 7 fall on buttocks, 3 coincident with lumbar disc and 2 with lumbar posterolateral fusion. Exclusion criteria: ankylosing spondylitis, osteitis condensans ilii, sacro-iliac joint arth…
Unilateral Accessory Sacroiliac Joint with Bone Marrow Edema Mimicking Sacroiliitis.
2018
Accessory sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is described as a common anatomical variant, identified in 13–18% and up to 40% of the general population1,2. It can be unilateral or bilateral and is related to aging, obesity, or women with multiple deliveries2,3. The patient, a 53-year-old white woman, presented with low back pain and left buttock pain for 6 months. She had no fever and local pressure on left SIJ reproduced …
