What's Wrong With the Bone? An Overview of Metabolic and Neoplastic Bone Conditions.

The evaluation of any orthopaedic condition often begins with obtaining plain radiographs. Fortuitously, plain radiographs provide surgeons with direct information on the biologic activity and, therefore, the aggressiveness of any bone lesion. More advanced imaging modalities may fail to elucidate the problem and may even obscure the diagnosis. The accurate interpretation of the aggressiveness of a bone lesion on plain radiographs is the first step in establishing a differential diagnosis for any bone lesion and, often, may result in a correct diagnosis without the need for additional imaging studies. A thorough understanding of the radiographic classification of bone lesions will allow surgeons to accurately diagnose and manage metabolic bone disease, benign bone lesions, and malignant bone lesions.
