Accessory ossicles are supernumerary and inconstant structures that are not caused by fractures. Derived from unfused ossification centers, accessory ossicles were first described by Vesalius in 1543. For centuries, they were believed to be asymptomatic. However, with advances in radiology techniques, many have been associated with painful syndromes. Although the original descriptions date from the sixteenth century, the subject is little discussed and, in some cases, controversial. The objective of this study was to describe the radiological aspects of a series of accessory ossicles and to review the evolution of their various descriptions, in order to revive discussion of the subject.
副骨是额外的、不恒定的结构，并非由骨折引起。副骨源自未融合的骨化中心，1543年由维萨里首次描述。几个世纪以来，人们一直认为它们没有症状。然而，随着放射学技术的进步，许多副骨已与疼痛综合征相关联。尽管最初的描述可追溯到16世纪，但这个主题很少被讨论，在某些情况下还存在争议。本研究的目的是描述一系列副骨的放射学特征，并回顾其各种描述的演变，以重新引发对该主题的讨论。
