Scaphoid fractures that are not visible on initial radiographs are notoriously difficult to diagnose. This prospective study compared four-view plain radiography at an average of 14 days after injury, with high-definition macroradiography and magnetic resonance imaging at presentation. Initial magnetic resonance imaging was superior to repeat scaphoid radiography for the confirmation or exclusion of fractures as well as for the detection of associated wrist injuries. Macroradiography was unsuitable for screening for occult scaphoid fractures.

Brodie abscess is a relatively rare subacute form of osteomyelitis that is difficult to diagnose due to its insidious onset and limited initial systemic response. We present a case of Brodie abscess in a person with knee pain, swelling and antalgic gait. Diagnosis was made initially using plain radiography, this was supported by magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed on bacterial culture of the surgical samples.
