"Samples from patients suffering bone marrow oedema syndrome of the hip demonstrate patchy areas of increased interstitial fluid, dilated medullary sinuses, adipocyte necrosis and/or fibrovascular regeneration. There is a normal or even elevated osteoid formation, which is under mineralised with a decreased hydroxyapatite content 1,5."
"The talus is the most frequently affected bone, followed by the navicular, cuneiform, and forefoot bones 1,3. However, any bone of the ankle and foot, isolated or in combination, can be involved. Apart from the ankle and foot, other bones may be affected, such as the hips and knees. When the findings move from joint to joint, this entity has been termed regional migratory osteoporosis."
"The diagnosis of bone marrow oedema syndrome requires one to rule out causes of secondary bone marrow oedema 2,8, such as trauma, stress fractures, osteochondral lesions, infection, impingement syndromes, avascular necrosis, arthropathies, radiotherapy, and neoplasia, including bone metastases. In most cases, clinical data is of paramount importance to do so."
