Summary
The periosteum, a bone covering, forms new bone in response to various conditions. Its reaction patterns, from solid to spiculated, help diagnose bone lesions and assess their aggressiveness.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- The periosteum is a dynamic membrane crucial for bone modeling and remodeling.
- It possesses osteogenic potential, producing new bone in response to stimuli like infections and tumors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To detail the anatomy, histology, and physiology of the periosteum.
- To review diverse periosteal reaction patterns and their correlation with radiological and histopathological findings.
Main Methods:
- Review of periosteal anatomy, histology, and physiology.
- Analysis of radiological and histopathological features of periosteal reactions.
- Correlation with clinical and laboratory data.
Main Results:
- Periosteal reactions vary in configuration based on the pace and modality of bone production.
- Solid reactions indicate benign, slow-growing lesions; lamellar reactions suggest intermediate aggressiveness.
- Spiculated, interrupted, or complex reactions are associated with aggressive, fast-growing diseases.
Conclusions:
- Evaluating periosteal reactions aids in diagnosing bone lesions and determining their aggressiveness.
- Combined radiological, histopathological, and clinical data optimize etiological diagnosis and patient management.

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

The two main features of a long bone are the diaphysis and the epiphysis.
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in...

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.

Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
