Know more about Subchondral Fracture
A subchondral fracture is a fracture of
trabecular cancellous bone just beneath the
subchondral bone plate without disrupting
articular surfaces. Subchondral insufficiency
fractures are more common in elderly women, but
it can occur at any age group. There are some
risk factors for subchondral Fractures they
involve if a patient is having conditions like
osteoporosis, osteoarthritis or meniscal tears.
These conditions are very prone to subchondral
fracture. Usually subchondral Fracture has few
common symptoms like pain in weight- bearing or
affected joints. Subchondral Fracture is usually
the consequences of compressive forces
transmitted from cartilage to bone plate. This
force causes breaks in a bone resulting in a
subchondral fracture condition. They can also
occur in conjunction with twisting and ligaments
injury. Subchondral Fracture may be caused by
traumatic injury or overuse or repetitive injury.
Mostly common with joints like knee, hip and
ankle joints. These Fracture are diagnosed by few
examinations like X-ray , CT scan and MRI etc.
Usually a linear or curvilinear structure is seen
just above the bone plate. MRI results in few
stages like first bone marrow edema is seen then
low signal intensity line of Fracture is seen in
MRI followed by cyst, then cortical collapse.
Conditions like this are seen through MRI results
in subchondral fracture conditions. After
diagnosing subchondral Fracture, you have to soon
go for treating it. Avoiding it for too long can
result in severe complications like osteochondral
injury or even affect your mobility and increase
