The scarcest of the Confederate produced Alabama Buttons. Most often encountered in Army of Tennessee camps and battle sites. This one was found near Utoy Creek, GA. My pictures donât do this button justice as it looks way better in hand.
Intra-articular loose bodies are chondral, osseous, or osteochondral fragments located in the articular cavity. They derive from the internal surfaces of synovial joints including bone surfaces covered by hyaline cartilage and capsule lined by the synovial membrane.he ability of US to diagnose intra-articular loose bodies greatly depends on a high degree of suspicion of the examiner, related to the knowledge of radiographic and clinical findings. Nowadays, radiography is still the modality of choice when a loose body is suspected on clinical grounds.
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study of 41 patients with joint pain after SCJ trauma found 80% had an intra-articular disk injury.The incidence of asymptomatic tears is not known, but degenerate tears are often associated with SCJ degenerative arthritis.revious descriptions in the literature of SCJ intra-articular disk injury, particularly its treatment, are limited. This may in part be due to historic limitations in SCJ soft tissue imaging and concerns with the relative operative morbidity of an open arthrotomy.
