The image is antero-posterior view of xray wrist with hand. The present xray shows badly comminuted fracture of base of fifth metacarpal. Also seen is fracture of fourth metacarpal.
Author’s Note
The type of fracture indicates that there was a strong traumatic force that caused so much comminution. In such case of damage to articular cartilage, the functional results are often poor.

Diagnosis of politeal cyst is usually evident on clinical examination. Conventional radiography in the anteroposterior, lateral, and oblique projections is done to check fluid density and to rule any other lesion that might give rise to poplliteal swelling.
Ultrasonography helps in assessing th swelling and can distinguish between fluid and solid mass.Popliteal cysts are best shown by sagittal ultrasound image projection. Ultrsound can also be used o rule vascular tumours by looking at arterial pulsations. [Read more...]

Popliteal cyst is a soft-tissue swelling in the posterior aspect of the knee which contains gelatinous fluid.It is also called Baker Cyst named after Dr. William Morrant Baker who first described it. Most common location is distal the popliteal crease under the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle.
These conditions have also been referred in the past as gastrocnemio-semimembranosus bursae, semimembranosus burse, synovial cysts, posterior herniae of the knee joint.
The condition is unilateral mostly. It is almost twice as common in boys than the girls.
Pathological Findings
The cysts may be either bursal or hernial in origin. The bursal cysts develops in bursa of the gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursae. Hernial cysts protrude the capsule to lie outside.
The cysts are medially located mostly but rarely they are laterally located and occasionally extend into the calf of the leg.
Infiltration by lymphocytes, plasma cells, histiocytes, and even polymorphonuclear cells may be seen in varying degrees. Areas of metaplasia into cartilaginous and osteoid elements may also be there.
