Focal intramedullary bone marrow edema determined in subcondral face of lateral tibia.In this study, it was aimed to attract attention to a concept that diagnosed as a bone bruising in distal of right femur by MRI examination and don't take place in guide of "Evaluation of Injuries Defined In Turkish Criminal Code" and to suggest a new evaluation criteria to the guide

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Bone bruising is a microtrabecular fractures characterized with edema, hemorrhage and irregularity occured in subcondral area of bone.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is important in diagnosis.In our case, our patient is a 23 years old male, he hit his right knee to the front console of car in a traffic accident, he was discharged from a university hospital after medical follow up, in MRI after 1 month later because of that his pain didn't heal, intratrabecular irregularity in a diffuse patchy pattern and areas of intramedullary bone marrow edema were determined in distal 1/3 of femur.

Abstract

Bone bruising is a microtrabecular fractures characterized with edema, hemorrhage and irregularity occured in subcondral area of bone. Because of that it is limited with medulla, it can't be detected by direct graphies. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is important in diagnosis.In our case, our patient is a 23 years old male, he hit his right knee to the front console of car in a traffic accident, he was discharged from a university hospital after medical follow up, in MRI after 1 month later because of that his pain didn't heal, intratrabecular irregularity in a diffuse patchy pattern and areas of intramedullary bone marrow edema were determined in distal 1/3 of femur. Focal intramedullary bone marrow edema determined in subcondral face of lateral tibia.In this study, it was aimed to attract attention to a concept that diagnosed as a bone bruising in distal of right femur by MRI examination and don't take place in guide of "Evaluation of Injuries Defined In Turkish Criminal Code" and to suggest a new evaluation criteria to the guide

Özet

Kemik berelenmesi, travma sonrası kemiğin subkondral alanında oluşan düzensizlik, ödem ve kanama ile karakterize mikrotrabeküler kırıklardır. Olay medulla ile sınırlı olduğundan direk grafiler ile tespit edilemez. Tanıda Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme (MRG) önemlidir. Olgumuz 23 yaşındaki erkek, geçirdiği araç içi trafik kazasında sağ dizini ön konsole çarpmış, bir üniversite hastanesinde izlem sonrası taburcu edilmiş, ağrı şikayetinin geçmemesi üzerine 1 ay sonra çekilen MRG'de femur 1/3 distalde diffüz yamalı tarzda intratrabeküler düzensizlik ve intramedüller kemik iliği ödem sahaları, tibia lateral subkondral yüzde de fokal intramedüller kemik iliği ödemi saptanmıştır.Bu çalışmada, MRG incelemesi ile sağ femur distalinde kemik berelenmesi tanısı konan, "TCK'da Tanımlanan Yaralanma Suçlarının Adli Tıp Açısından Değerlendirmesi" kılavuzunda yer almayan bu kavrama dikkat çekmek ve kılavuza yeni bir değerlendirme kriteri önermek amaçlanmıştır
