Editor's Notes
Welcome to this presentation on osteochondritis and its associated diseases. Today, we'll delve into what osteochondritis is and explore five specific conditions linked to it.
This presentation is based on the syllabus topics of Course-303, Sub: Radiological Findings (Part-I), BSc in Radiology and Imaging Technology at iht Mohakhali, Dhaka, under the Faculty of Medicine, University of Dhaka. It will be a valuable resource for 3rd-year students preparing for their final examination.
Osteochondritis, often called osteochondrosis, is a condition characterized by inflammation affecting both bone and cartilage. But, there's more to it, as we'll discover.
Osteochondritis primarily targets the epiphyses, which are the ends of long bones. It typically begins with cell death (necrosis) and then follows a healing process. Let's explore further.
Interestingly, the term 'osteochondritis' is somewhat misleading. Why? Because inflammation isn't always present, and cartilage isn't the primary focus of the condition. Let's uncover the truth.
The key to understanding osteochondritis lies in its cause. It's often linked to impaired blood supply due to repeated trauma. Let's explore how this happens.
Now, let's get into the specifics. There are several diseases associated with osteochondritis, each with its common name. We'll cover a total of five in this presentation as per your exam requirements
Moving on, Chandler disease is another avascular necrosis condition, but it affects the femoral head in adults. Let's delve deeper into this condition.
Freiberg's disease focuses on the foot, specifically the metatarsal heads. It's crucial to understand its impact, so let's explore further.
Next up, we have Kohler's disease, affecting the navicular bone in the foot. Understanding its location is key, so let's uncover more about this condition.
Osgood-Schlatter disease targets the tibial tuberosity near the knee. Let's explore how it impacts this area.
Kienbƶck's disease affects the wrist, specifically the lunate bone. Understanding its location is crucial, so let's learn more about this wrist-related condition.
