However, as it is purely descriptive, a more clinically-oriented classification has been proposed whichincorporates MRI findings and suggested management (see Tuli classification of occipital condyle fractures) 2,5,10. In addition to reporting the presence of the fracture a number of features should be sought and in many instances commented upon as relevant negatives: The most important differential is of other carpal dislocations, particularly: The most important differential is of other carpal dislocations, particularly: Differential diagnosis. CT is the best modality for identifying an occipital condyle fracture 6. The primary purpose is to exclude spinal cord injury, although other specific indications include: evaluate for suspected major ligamentous injury, surgical treatment planning in the setting of known instability, high-suspicion patients who cannot be reliably examined within 48 hours: even with initial normal CT, cortical disruption, fragment displacement, joint space widening and hemorrhage (fluid-fluid level) are more specific for significant traumatic injury 2, there may be additional adjacent ligamentous injuries, e.g. WebAn anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) avulsion is a traumatic avulsion of the ASIS due to a sudden and forceful contraction of the sartorius and tensor fascia lata that occurs in young athletes.
