CT examination of bone and joint and soft tissue

Swelling, pain or joint dysfunction of skeletal muscle and soft tissue. Mostly, the operation of the qi and blood is blocked, the blood is separated from the collaterals, and the blood is stagnated in the local area. Its clinical diagnosis complies with the following standards:

1. 4-12 weeks after local trauma;

2. The skeletal muscle and surrounding soft tissue are swollen, painful, and can reach a hard mass, and the joint dysfunction is progressively aggravated;

3. The limitation of the lesion, the congenital abnormality without bone;

4. X-ray examination showed localized skeletal muscle and soft tissue calcification or ossification. Early examination of EMG is more normal. In the later stage, myogenic damage can occur, showing multi-phase potential, and the motion unit amplitude of the exercise unit and the intermittent period are reduced.

Differential diagnosis

Clinically often identified with sputum.

: It is a sudden, involuntary contraction of a muscle, a group of muscles, a fictional organ, or a similar rapid contraction at an opening. Sometimes it has pain and dysfunction, but it is often harmless and will disappear after a few minutes. Central nervous system diseases, acute infectious diseases, excessive fatigue, dystonia, etc., can cause muscle paralysis.
