Metaphyseal fibrous defects (MFD) commonly occur around the knee. Diagnosis is typically made with plain radiography, but advanced imaging like CT or MRI may be needed for atypical or large lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic radiology
  • Skeletal imaging
  • Pediatric orthopedics

Background:

  • Metaphyseal fibrous defect (MFD) is a common benign bone lesion.
  • Understanding MFD predisposition and optimal imaging is crucial for diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify skeletal predisposition to metaphyseal fibrous defect (MFD).
  • To determine appropriate imaging methods for detecting atypical or large MFD lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 38 patients with MFD (27 boys, 11 girls).
  • Plain radiography used for initial examination.
  • Additional imaging included CT, MRI, scintigraphy, angiography, and genetic testing in select cases.
  • Histological evaluation performed in seven patients.

Main Results:

  • Most MFD lesions (75.6%) were located around the knee (distal femur, proximal tibia).
  • Multifocal lesions were associated with neurofibromatosis, Marfan's disease, or familial occurrence.
  • Plain radiography was sufficient for most diagnoses.

Conclusions:

  • The knee region is the most common site for MFD.
  • Multifocal MFD can indicate underlying genetic or systemic conditions.
  • Advanced imaging (CT, MRI, scintigraphy) and biopsy are recommended for diagnosing atypical or large MFDs.
