Objective To study image findings of nonossifying fibroma.Methods The pathological and image findings fo 22 cases of nonossifying fibromas proved by operation were analysed.There were 12 cases of male and 10 cases female,with age ranging from 10 to 35 years(mean age 17 years).X-ray plain films were obtained in all 22 cases,CT images in 7 cases,and MRI in 2 cases.Results The tumors were located in long bone in 19 cases,in which 14 cases were located in metaphyses,2 cases in diaphyses and 2 cases in bone end,and 4 cases in irregular bone,which was seen in clavicle,rib,illum and maxilla respectively.The tumor maximum diamneter ranged from 2 to 6.5 cm,with mean diameter of 3.2 cm,and the ratio of longitudinal to transverse diameter was 2.51.The tumors were round,oral or mild lobular in 17 cases.The tumors were showed sclerotic borders in 20 cases,and no sclerotic border in 2 cases(clavicle and rib).Septum was demonstrated in 19 cases.Bone expasion was showed in one case.Conclusion If a tumor is located in cortex or marrow of long or irregular bone which is showed a welldefined lytic lesion with sclerotic rim,the diagnosis of nonossifying fibroma will be considered.

Objective To study the incidence and radiologic findings of calcaneonavicular coalition.Methods CR films of foot andankle in 1361 cases were presented,which were evaluated for acute trauma or chronic pain.There were 588 cases of foot CR and 773 cases of ankle CR,age ranged from 10 years to 91 years(984 cases of 20~40 years).The prevalence of calcaneonavicular coalition was determined and the different significance of both male and female,acute trauma and chronic pain group were analysed.Results In 1361 cases,72 cases of calcaneonavicular coalition(5.3%) were demonstrated,8.7%(47/588)on foot CR films and 3.2%(25/773) on ankle CR films.Calcaneonavicular coalition was more dipicted on foot CR films than on ankle CR films(P0.05).Conclusion The foot CR films is more superexcellent than the ankle CR films on demonstrating calcaneonavicular coalition.

Objective To study the clinicoradiologic significance of C sign.Methods 773 cases of standard ankle CR radiographs were presented for diagnosis of acute trauma and ankle pain. There were 565 males and 208 females, ages ranged from 10 to 81. There were 630 cases of acute trauma and 143 cases of painful ankle. C sign incidence, C sign figuration, distance of the medial facet of talocalcaneal joint, and the figuration of sustentaculum tali were studied. The relationship between C sign and talocalcaneal coalition was analysed.Results The incidence of C sign was 54.6%(422/773). The female incidence was 61.1%(127/208) ,which was more than that of male(52.2%,295/565)(P

20 years)was 8.60%(48/558) , which was more than that in the second decade of life ( 5.22% ). The incidence of painful group was 9.79%(14/143),which was more than that in foot trauma group 6.78%(40/630).The positive C sign was presented in 61.1%(33/54),posterior-type coalition in 38.9%(21/54),short talar neck sign in 61.1%(33/54)and talar beak sign in 22.2%(12/54). Conclusion The talocalcaneal coalition is a common development abnormality in our country. We must pay attention to the diagnosis of talocalcaneal coalition for painful foot adulthood.
