Overview of Periosteal Reaction by Imaging

Abstract

The periosteum is a membrane that covers almost all bones in the body. It is a living structure but attracts little attention unless it reacts excessively. We highlight the important points in the anatomy, histology, and physiology of the periosteum, the stimuli and various aspects of periosteal reaction, and the main conditions underlying periosteal reaction.
