Normal Anatomy and Histology

  • Chapter
Bone Diseases

Abstract

A variety of lesions can arise in any bone, or in different parts of the same bone, bringing about destruction or at least an alteration of the normal structure of the tissue. Depending upon their severity, these changes may be recognizable on a radiograph. The ability to assess a pathological lesion of bone naturally requires exact knowledge of the normal structure. At the macroscopic level, the distinction between the different types of bone change is first and foremost a matter of radiology, and it is by this means that the first examination is always carried out. The conventional radiograph, which is usually taken in two planes, provides the earliest and most conclusive information. The diagnostic value of such a radiograph is primarily dependent upon its quality.
