Lab Studies:
X-Rays:
Initial Case Photo #1 : Minimal lateral soft tissue swelling. Triangular lucency at the distal fibular metaphysis.
Two months later Case Photo #2 : Increase in size of lucency in the distal metaphysis with new linear periostitis.
MRI,: Enhancing lesion at the distal fibula with evidence of Brodie’s abscess superior to the distal fibular physis, as well as a possible chronic infection.
Bones Scan Case Photo #6 , Case Photo #7 : Linear uptake in the distal right fibula.
CT-Guided Bone Biopsy Case Photo #8 ,: Osteolytic lesion of the distal fibula.
