    AbstractBone marrow edema signal can be seen in many settings ranging from trauma and arthritis to less common conditions including transient osteoporosis, transient bone marrow edema syndrome, true osteonecrosis, spontaneous osteonecrosis, and shifting bone marrow edema.

This article reviews the less frequently encountered and less well understood entities and explores their potential pathophysiologies and significance.
