There does not need to be a fracture to create a Stener lesion, however some do have a small avulsion fracture as the distal end of the UCL is pulled off the proximal phalangeal base.
When I saw the first image I thought “Classic Stener!)
I am assuming that the left of screen is proximal and the right of screen is distal.

Does there have to be a fracture for these lesions to form? We had a ? Stener lesion the other day and neither of us had seen one before! Wondered if I put the pictures up if I could get some feedback on anyone’s thoughts please? Thankyou

Do you extend imaging to
Left kidney when there is left varicocele
Right hypochondria along IVC when there is right varicocele
And both when there are bilateral varicocele?
Noted there are consensus paper on this, but the red flag can be hard to determined (sudden onset, not resolving… )
Thank you!

The vertibrobasilar circulation is very variable with many anatomical variations commonly seen. These extend not just to dominant and non dominant vertebral arteries, but also include a myriad of circle for Willis variations that may impact.

You will see marked differences in the R.I. in the vertebral on the non dominant side. Consider measuring the vertebral diameter.

There is no defect in the posterior wall and the fat never enters the canal and hence no fat will exit the superficial ring,

But the posterior wall is very weak.
