Related to bone condyles that have swelling beneath the surface. The condyles are the rounded lumpy bits at the end of long thin bones: finger bones (phalanges) or thigh (femur). Subchondral odema occurs commonly when thes bones are forced together sometimes with repeated running on hard surfaces sub femoral or tibial chondral/plataeu or when staving your finger during basket ball straight finger compression.
Can take a long time to settle but can settle to no symptoms.

∙ 14y agoSubchondral means beneath cartilage, clavicle is a collar bone, and a fracture is a break. So this was a severely broken collar bone.

What does subchondral lucency mean and what does it indicate?
Subchondral lucences are clear-appearing areas under the cartilage.
What is a subchondral cyst in greater tuberosity?
ageing or degenertive enthesopathy
What are subchondral cystic changes?
it is a fluid filled sac under the cartilage
What the function of the subchondral plate?
Helps transmitting loads from the cartilage into the underlying cancellous bone.
Does a person with subchondral cysts and sclerosis within the roof of the acetabulum need a hip replacement?
yes
What is subchondral osteopenia of the distal right radius of the wrist mean?
Osteopenia is abnormally low bone density. In this case, the problem is below the cartilage of the larger bone of the forearm at the wrist.
What does the small focus of marrow signal alternation mean?
what does it mean when you are told you have a small nonspecific focus of subchondral marrow edema involving the anterior medial femoral condyle? left knee
What is a subarticular cyst?
A subchondral cyst is a fluid-filled sac under the cartilage.

cartilage :{D
Subchondral insufficiency fracture of the talar head?
I think it would be best to just break this down....subchondral..........situated beneath cartilage insufficiency..........inability of an organ or body part to function normally fracture.............the act or process of breaking or the state of being broken and or the breaking of hard tissue (as bone) Fractures of the Talar Head Talus fractures are relatively uncommon injuries, but can be associated with significant complications. The talus is involved in about 2% of all lower extremity injuries and about 5-7% of foot injuries. It is the most important bone of the foot to stabilize and mobilize soon after injury. Talus fractures are usually associated with hyperdorsiflexion of the ankle as the talar neck impacts the anterior margin of the tibia, such as in a motor vehicle accident or fall from height. The talus articulates superiorly with the tibia and fibula in the ankle mortise and the calcaneous and navicular inferiorly. Body weight is transmitted through the tibia to the superior surface of the talus. The anterior portion of the body is wider than the posterior portion giving stability to the ankle. The neck of the talus connects to the head which connects to the navicular and calcaneous and is the most vulnerable to fracture. The talus has no muscular or tendinous attachments, but has a groove for the flexor hallicus longus tendon. The majority of the talus is covered by articular cartilage. It articulates with the spring ligament inferiorly, the sustentaculum tali posteroinferiorly and the deltoid ligament medially.
What does moderate narrowing C7-T1 disk space with mild subchondral bony sclerosis and mild posterior spurring mean?
The gap between two of the vertebrae in the spine just between your shoulder blades has become narrowed, perhaps compressing on the spinal cord and causing pain/tingling sensation in your body (at a guess). There are signs of osteoarthritis in the vertebrae, as shown by areas of patchy whiteness where the bone has been damaged and regenerated and some abnormal bony spurs forming.
