Abstract:
Sentinel lesions are lesions of the bone or soft tissue, visible in standard X-rays carried out within a traumatic context, indicating bone or more severe capsular ligament lesions not visible on these X-rays. A detailed review of the peripheral joints as well as the spine is carried out with an example of each type of lesion in a standard X-ray. Confrontation with the reference examination, CT or MRI, depending on the case, is then carried out.

Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
