AP (A, C) and lateral (B, D) radiographs of the right forearm demonstrate a buckle fracture (arrows) of the distal radial metaphysis without significant angulation. Buckle fractures (or torus fractures) are an impaction type of fracture identified by a focal widening (or outward buckling) of the cortex

Post-traumatic myositis ossificans. A well-defined bone density arises from the cortex of the distal femur and extends into the soft tissues. There was a history of blunt trauma, but even so, this lesion needs to be differentiated from parosteal osteosarcoma.

Sudeck's atrophy: there was minor trauma to the forearm some weeks earlier. Note gross osteoporosis of the bones of the hand, wrist and forearm, most marked at the bone ends, but also causing cortical 'thinning' and resorption

Caissons disease

Avascular necrosis of the hips. Note mixed sclerosis and lucency of the femoral heads, with collapse of the weight-bearing surface but maintenance of the joint spaces, indicating intact articular cartilage.
