“…10 The absence of spurs in people below 20 years of age correlates with the common clinical observations that are rarely a feature of degenerative joint disease in young individuals. 11 The proposed mechanical theory over the spur formation is not supported by this study as it shows that age group of people involved in maximum physical exercise from 20-40 seems to be little affected at the same time Cosentino et al has found that people involved in standing for long time as part of their professions were more likely to be affected. [12][13][14][15] Also a study reveals that chances of finding a calcaneal spur in normal population to be 15.5% and there are no clear cut relationship between the heel pain and the length, shape and direction of the calcaneal spur.…”

Background: This is an observational study that was carried out to find out the incidence of calcaneal spur among Indian population with heel pain as it is one of the most commonest complaints of patients coming to out-patient departments.Methods: Radiological assessment with 200 ankle lateral view x rays were taken for patients (100 male and 100 female) with complaints of heel pain.Results: 118 out of 200 patients with heel pain had calcaneal spur either plantar or at achilles insertion or both of which 60% of them were women. Most common age group affected was 40-50 years.Conclusions: Incidence of calcaneal spur in Indian population with heel pain is 59%.

The present review will give an update on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) imaging using CBCT. It will focus on diagnostic accuracy and the value of CBCT compared with other imaging modalities for the evaluation of TMJs in different categories of patients; osteoarthritis (OA), juvenile OA, rheumatoid arthritis and related joint diseases, juvenile idiopathic arthritis and other intra-articular conditions. Finally, sections on other aspects of CBCT research related to the TMJ, clinical decision-making and concluding remarks are added. CBCT has emerged as a cost-and dose-effective imaging modality for the diagnostic assessment of a variety of TMJ conditions. The imaging modality has been found to be superior to conventional radiographical examinations as well as MRI in assessment of the TMJ. However, it should be emphasized that the diagnostic information obtained is limited to the morphology of the osseous joint components, cortical bone integrity and subcortical bone destruction/production. For evaluation of soft-tissue abnormalities, MRI is mandatory. There is an obvious need for research on the impact of CBCT examinations on patient outcome.

“…3,4 Imaging techniques, including x-ray radiography, computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have been conventionally used or investigated to detect the physiologic/anatomic abnormalities in the joint cavity when OA has been established. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] However, clinical examination remains the principal approach while these available imaging techniques are used only as supplemental methods in OA diagnosis, especially in hand OA, either because they are insensitive to the abnormal changes in the OA joint cavity or because they are too costly to be used as a routine examination method. For example, plain radiographs are conventionally used to visualize bony abnormality; however, they are insensitive to changes in soft tissues (cartilage, synovial fluid, etc.)…”

“…Compared with the normal joints, the dimensional narrowing of the joint cavity is obvious for OA joints, which is in agreement with typical radiographic evidences of OA disease. 5,6 IV. DISCUSSION In this study, for the first time we in vivo imaged distal interphalangeal joints and associated osteoarthritis in submillimeter resolution using our three-dimensional quantitative photoacoustic tomography approach.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this pilot clinical study is to assess three-dimensional (3-D) quantitative photoacoustic tomography (qPAT) for in vivo detection of osteoarthritis (OA) in the finger joints. Methods: All subject data were handled in compliance with the rules and regulations concerning the privacy and security of protected health information under HIPAA. Seven female subjects (two OA patients and five healthy controls) entered the study and their distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints were examined by a 3-D photoacoustic scanner. 3-D optical absorption coefficient images of all the photoacoustically examined joints were recovered using a 3-D qPAT reconstruction algorithm.Results: The recovered quantitative photoacoustic images revealed obvious difference in the optical absorption coefficient of the joint cavity (cartilage and synovial fluid) between the OA and healthy joints. Quantitative analysis of the joints also indicated an apparent difference in the recovered joint spacing between the OA and healthy subjects. Conclusion: This initial clinical evaluation suggests that it is feasible to detect osteoarthritis in the finger joints with our 3-D qPAT approach, which has paved the way to further statistically evaluate the diagnostic performance of the 3-D qPAT approach in comparison with radiography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on a sample of hand osteoarthritis.
