| Abstract |
Lesions involving the outer cortical surface of the bone occur quite often among children. Broadly, these include benign cortical, juxtacortical and periarticular lesions, dysplasias affecting the cortical bone, regional and diffuse periosteal pathology and malignant tumours. Some of these lesions are unique to the paediatric population; others are more frequently seen among children than adults - yet others have an adult predilection but can occasionally be seen in children. A complete list of differential considerations for lesions involving the outer cortical surface of the bone in children is presented. Imaging characteristics on plain film radiography and MR are described in association with multiple examples and illustrations. A pictorial review detailing the imaging features of surface lesions of the bone in children will be a useful aide for both radiologists and their clinical colleagues, and will help them sort their way through the maze of differential diagnoses for these abnormalities. Teaching Points • Surface lesions of bones in children comprise a distinct entity and differ from those in adults. • Imaging plays an important role towards classifying surface lesions of bones in children. • MRI features may be characteristic and aid precise diagnosis, thus guiding further management. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 April 2017.
All research outputs
#19,702,729
of 24,217,893 outputs
Outputs from Insights into Imaging
#847
of 1,072 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#244,765
of 320,504 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Insights into Imaging
#10
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,217,893 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,072 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.2. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,504 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
