IV. Talking Pots (Exercises in Clinicopathologic Correlation)

Here are some pictures and talking pots, focusing on Clinicopathologic Correlation. Test yourself:

- Can you pick up the main pathology?

- Can you see anything else? (Cause and Effect)

- Can you work out the likely clinical manifestations?

- What do you think the imaging would look like?

- What is the pathogenesis of this condition?

5. A bad limp

Mr Abdullah, 52, complains of backache, as well as a painful left knee. He has had a pronounced limp ever since a bad motor vehicular accident some years ago. In this picture, you see one of his leg bones. Can you identify WHICH bone this is? What is the abnormality? What was the previous injury he had? Can you figure out why he has back and knee pain?
