Description
Summary:This article focuses on the analysis of bone lesions of the tibia, addressing the main diagnostic challenges and imaging strategies used to characterize them. It examines the different etiologies of tibial lesions, emphasizing the importance of a systematic approach to distinguishing tumoral from non-tumoral lesions, as well as from bone dysplasia. The article underlines the essential role of imaging, particularly radiography, CT, and MRI, in accurate lesion characterization. It also highlights typical clinical and radiological features that help guide diagnosis and management. The main aim is to provide radiologists with clear guidelines for improving the identification of bony lesions of the tibia. Part 1 of this 2-part article proposes simplified diagnostic algorithms and some illustrations of dysplasia and diaphyseal lesions of the tibia.
