9 and 10 years old boys presented with pain and swelling without history of trauma around medial malleolar right and left ankle. The swelling was diffuse with tenderness on anterior aspect of medial malleolus. The X-rays revealed fragmented accessory ossification center of medial malleolus an symptomatic side. Traction apophysitis was diagnosed because MRI revealed multiple foci of hypointensity in T1 and T2 weighted images of symptomatic medial malleolus apophysis. Patient was treated in conservative treatment by short leg cast for three or four weeks with restriction of sports activity and improved symptoms.

This study is intended to be used as the basic material for the taxonomic research by observing the stages of skeletal development of Luciogobius grandis larvae compared to the skeletal development patterns of the same fish family of Gobiidae. 3 days after hatching (DAH), the preflexion larvae was 4.01±0.11 mm (n=5) in average total length (TL) and the frontal began to ossify in the skull. 17 DAH, the advanced postflexion larvae was 5.37±0.05 mm (n=5) in average TL the supraoccipital and epiotic were ossified in the cranial bone. 36 DAH, the juvenile was 12.2±0.20 mm (n=5) in average TL and the urohyal was ossified in the hyoid arch. In addition to one hypural bone being ossified, the first, second, third and fourth were combined and were made three bone fragments and then, the bone ossification of all skeletons was completed.

Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia is an uncommon disorder, which was first described by Fairbank in 1935, characterized by irregularity in development of the epiphysis that manifests itself as late appearance and mottling of the ossification centers, knobby joints, stubby digits and minimal shortness of stature. It is typically transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait though recessive forms have been described. The diagnosis is established on the basis of the positive roentgenographic findings in combination with the absence of biochemical abnormalities. We report a case of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, which was improved by herbal medication.

The maxillary sinus appeared first among the sinuses of the skull at 92 days of prenatal stage. The early formation of frontal sinus was observed at 157 days in the cranial most part of the frontal bone while the early formation of palatine sinus was observed at 170 days. A total of five fontanelles were observed in prenatal skulls of buffalo. The largest and unpaired fontanelle was anterior fontanelle. The mastoid and sphenoidal fontanelle were paired. The ossification of anterior fontanelle was first observed at 164 days. All the fontanelles were ossified completely prenatally.

Objectives: A diagnostic imaging in a fifty five year-old woman diagnosed orthopedically as ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) at C5 and C6 levels was reinterpreted for Chuna mannual therapy. The cervical spinal lesion in simple X-ray and CT scan images was discussed by spinal listing systems and disc block subluxation theory. The primary adjustive target was C4 disc block subluxation, which had been affected by kyphosis. Chuna manual therapy based on diagnostic images could be helpful for adjusting spinal subluxation, correcting its adaptation curvature, and preventing its latent pathology efficiently.

Radiopacity in the maxillary sinus can be observed in various conditions, such as in the presence of lesions in the maxillary sinus or as a sequela of maxillary sinus surgery. This report describes the case of a 57-year-old female patient who had no previous history of surgical treatment or traumatic injury of the nose or maxillary sinus. Both maxillary sinuses were indistinguishable on panoramic radiography and showed signs of radiopacity. Computed tomography images revealed that the maxillary sinuses were filled with bony tissue and exhibited signs of sinus mucosal thickening. Biopsy results showed fragments of trabecular bone with fibrous tissue.

Bone age assessment has been widely used to measure the ossification in pediatric radiology. For the assessment, first bone age of each epiphyseal plate is estimated using DCT/LDA, then the bone age of a patient is calculated by using the median of 9 estimations. For some patients, however, due to various reasons such as X-ray image quality or the pose of fingers, it is common to miss couple of plates in automated systems. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the number of detected plates and the accuracy of bone age assessment. In the experimental results, we confirmed the similarity between bone age assessed using more than 7 epiphyseal plates and that assessed using 9 epiphyseal plates.

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD), which is accepted as an autosomal disorder, is a generalized disorder of bone with severe dental abnormalities. Among the most characteristic anomalies seen are hypoplasia of clavicles or aplasia of clavicles, permanant non-ossification of cranial sutures & fontanels, delayed eruption of the permanant dentition & the presence of unerupted supernumerary teeth. CCD may first be noted by dentist because of many dental problems, so we should diagnose the disorder earlier & understand the development of dentition in CCD to ensure timely intervention with proper periodic dental X-ray.

Myositis ossificans progressiva, otherwise called fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a rare hereditary disease of unknown etiology, which is characterized by progressive ectopic ossification in connective tissues of the muscles, tendons, fascia and aponeurosis. We report a case of myositis ossificans progressiva confined to hands and feet, which has an unusual clinical feature with slow progression.

Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation of bone (BPOP) was first described in 1983 by Nora et. al., who reported 35 cases of a bizarre proliferative lesion involving the small bones of the hands and less often the feet. These lesions simulate osteochondromas and conlain cartilage cap exhibiting atypical chondrocytes often undergoing ossification. Radiologically, they differ from osteochondromas. The lesion recurs in a significant number of cases after local excision, and the disturbing cytologic features may lead to a mistaken diagnosis of malignancy. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of bizarre parosleal osteochondromatous proliferation of the foot in a patient without traumatic history.
