Lateral and AP radiographs of the left #knee in a #teenager with Hereditary Multiple Exostoses

Lateral and AP radiographs of the left #knee in a #teenager with Hereditary Multiple Exostoses (HME or MHE) show numerous pedunculated and sessile osteochondromas of the distal femur and proximal tibia and fibula. Note how these benign developmental lesions often show an incomplete rim of sclerosis (black arrows) when viewed en face. These lesions are thought to be due to displacement of growth plate #cartilage, and these patients frequently have growth disturbances of affected extremities. The most common complications include #fracture and compression of adjacent soft tissue structures. #MusculoSkeletalMonday #MSKMonday #xray #MRI #CT #ultrasound #bone #tumor #HereditaryMultipleExostoses #HME #MHE #sports #FOAMed #MedEd #pediatrics #kids #children #radiology #medicine
