|
Vertebral compression fracture
|
Trauma/weakening of vertebra leading to collapse

|
High-energy axial load leading to shattering of vertebra (much more destructive and severe than compression)
|
|
|
Signs of fracture: (5)
|
1) Cortical disruption
2) Trabeculae disruption 3) Soft tissue swelling 4) Fat pad displacement 5) Hemarthrosis or lipohemarthrosis (fluid/fat level) |

|
Signs of septic arthritis
|
Widening then narrowing joint space; periarticular osteopenia
|
|
|
Signs of tumors (usually metastases) and multiple myeloma

Metastases have a fuzzy "moth-eaten" margins Mutiple myeloma usually have sharp, non-sclerotic borders (punched out) |
|
|
Signs of osteosarcoma
