Radiation osteitis is a term used to describe potentially reversible changes such as temporary cessation of growth, periostitis, bone sclerosis and increased fragility, ischemic necrosis and infection. Radiographic features may present as periosteal reaction, bone sclerosis, and severe bone destruction. If the "wear and tear" theory is true, exercise should worsen the condition; the greater distance one runs should increase the wear; and cartilage damage should precede the bone sclerosis that appears above the damaged cartilage. |
