Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Orthopedics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HO) presents with diverse soft tissue, skeletal, and joint abnormalities.
  • HO can be primary or secondary, requiring accurate diagnostic approaches.
  • Recognizing characteristic manifestations is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the imaging experience with conventional radiography and advanced techniques in evaluating hypertrophic osteoarthropathy.
  • To discuss the common manifestations of HO, including finger clubbing, elephant feet, and acro-osteolysis.
  • To explore the differential diagnosis of HO in the context of coexisting skeletal and joint diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Review of conventional radiography findings.
  • Evaluation of advanced imaging techniques (e.g., CT, MRI, ultrasound).
  • Analysis of imaging features associated with primary and secondary HO.

Main Results:

  • Detailed description of imaging manifestations such as synovial effusion, periostosis, tuftal hypertrophy, and cutis verticis gyrata.
  • Discussion of the coexistence of HO with other skeletal and joint pathologies.
  • Highlighting the importance of imaging in differentiating HO from other conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Conventional and advanced imaging play a vital role in diagnosing hypertrophic osteoarthropathy.
  • Comprehensive imaging evaluation aids in identifying characteristic manifestations and coexisting diseases.
  • Accurate imaging diagnosis is essential for effective management of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy.
