22: Joint Pathology - Carnevale Flashcards
characterized by degeneration of the cartilage resulting in structural or functional failure of synovial joints
- osteoarthritis
- aka degenerative joint disease
most common form of arthritis
osteoarthritis
s/s osteoarthritis
- deep achy pain that worsens with use
- morning stiffness
- crepitus
- limited ROM
- can lead to joint deformity but not fusion
heberden nodes
- prominent osteophytes at the DIP joints
- common in women
what parts of the body are usually spared with osteoarthritis?
wrists, elbows, shoulders
due to osteophytes at the PIPs
bouchard nodes
early v. late OA
- early (erosion) = chondrocytes proliferate, edema, inflammation, extracellular matrix production, metalloprotease activation, which act together to remodel the cartilage and initiate changes in the synovium and subchondral bone
- late (osteophytes) = repetitive injury and chronic inflammation lead to chondrocyte drop out, marked loss of cartilage, and extensive subchodrl bone changes (microfractures, bone thickening and sclerosis, cyst formation, osteophyte formation)
tx osteoarthritis
pain management, activity modification and joint replacement
autoimmune disorder that may affect many tissues and organs but principally attacks the joints, producing a nonsuppurative proliferative and inflammatory synovitis
RA
5F:1M
what is the joint pattern for RA?
- hands ( MCP and PIP )
- feet
- wrist and ankles
- elbow and knee
- uncommon spine
- NO lumbosacral or hips
inflamed synovium
RA
describe RA s/s
- affected joints swollen, warm, painful
- particularly stiff when rising in the morning or following inactivity
- progressive joint enlargement
- decreased ROM evolving to complete ankylosis
- greatest damage in first 4-5 yrs
production of rheumatoid factor, a ____, in _____% of RA cases
- IgM autoAB to Fc portion of autologous IgF
- 80%
- citrullinated peptides CCP contribute to chronic RA
pannus formation
RA
- granulation tisue, synovial and inflamamtory cells, fibrous CT
nonsuppurative, proliferative, desdtructive synovitis
RA
ulnar deviation
