Galeazzi’s Fracture
(Click on  image for and enlarged view)

Fracture of radius at the junction of its middle third and distal third
with dislocation of distal radioulnar joint
Called fracture of necessity – always requires open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF)

DEXA: (acronym) Dual Energy X-ray Absortiometry
DEXA scanning, is currently the most widely used method to measure bone mineral density.

Healed fracture rib, seen as increased density and deformity of the ninth rib on the right side near the margin of the thorax, the commonest site of rib fracture.

X-ray of knee joint showing femur above and tibia and fibula below with knee joint. The epiphyseal plates are seen as transluscent lines near the end of the the bones (yellow arrows). The region beyond the the ephiphyseal plate and adjoining the joint is the epiphysis. The densely calcified outer region of the shaft is known as the cortex and the inner region which holds the bone marrow is known as medulla (blue arrows).

It is the dense sclerotic bone surrounding the sequestrum. It has holes for the drainage of pus. Its cavity is lined by infected granulation tissue.

It is a piece of dead bone in chronic osteomyelitis, surrounded by infected granulation tissue, trying to eat away the bone. The outer surface of this bone is smooth due to the erosion by granulation tissue, and the inner surface is rough. Image
