Scleroderma

What is a common feature?

A

22
Q

Lace like lytic lesions in the phalanges suggests what?

A

Sarcoid

23
Q

What is the characteristic location of hemachromatosis arthritis?

A

2nd through 4th MCP

24
Q

What are the hallmarks of a neuropathic joint?

A

Joint destruction
Dislocation
Heterotopic new bone formation

25
Q

What are the hallmarks of JRA and hemophilia?

What is thought to be the cause? What are the findings also seen in ?

A

Overgrowth of the epiphyses
Gracile diaphyses
Widening of the intercondylar notch in the knee
Tibiotalar slant

Disuse and hyperemia

Paralysis

26
Q

What is synovial osteochondromatosis? Where is it seen?

A

Metaplasia of the synovium resulting in deposition of cartilage in the joint

Deposits can calcify

Knee, hip, elbow

27
Q

How often do joint mice not calcify? What is the radiographic appearance when this happens?

A

30%

Effusions and erosions

Can have “apple core” appearance of femoral neck if severe enough

28
Q

What is tumefactive synovial osteochondromatosis?

A

Joint mice packed so closely together they appear as a partially calcified mass/

Do not call tumor as they can look like chondrosarcoma on biopsy and lead to erroneous amputation

29
Q

What is the appearance of PVNS on MR?

A

low signal hemosiderin lining the synovium on both T1 and T2

30
Q

What is sudecks atrophy?

What is seen radiographically?

A

Chronic regional pain syndrome, occurs after minor trauma

Severe, patchy osteoporosis and soft tissue swelling in a distal extremity

31
Q

What is the progression of CRPS?

A

Pain subsides with persistent osteoporosis

Swelling subsides, but skin may remain atrophic

32
Q

What is the normal distance between the suprapatellar fat pad and anterior femoral fat pad?

A

10 is effusion

33
Q

What is the hallmark of AVN?

What is the earliest sign?

What is the progression radiographically?

A

Increased bone density with preserved joint space and lack of osteophytes

Joint effusion

Dense bone -> subchondral lucency with thin line on articular surface - > chondral collapse

34
Q

What is osteochondritis dessicans?

Where does it occur?

A

idiopathic focal AVN

medial epicondyle femur
talar dome
elbow capitellum
