A

Osteomyelitis

26
Q

Six D’s associated with what condition? Name them

A

Neuropathic arthropathy

  1. Distended joint
  2. Density increase
  3. Debris
  4. Dislocation
  5. Disorganizatin
  6. Destruction
27
Q

DISH - calcifcation of which tissue/structure

A

ALL primarily, PLL, LF

28
Q

Radiographic criteria of DISH (3)

A
  1. Thick, flowing hyperostosis anterior to spine in 4 consecutive levels
  2. Disc space maintained
  3. No facet involvement
29
Q

diabetes is associated with what arthritic condition

A

Diabetes

30
Q

OPLL occurs in 50% of what arthritic condition patients

A

DISH

31
Q

What is seen with DJD? (5)

A
Erosions
Subchondral cysts
Intraarticular calcifications
Joint mice
Osteophytes
32
Q

4 pathways infection can spread to bone. Start with MC

A

Hematogenous
Contiguous
Direct implantation
Postoperative

33
Q

T/f

Osteomyelitis in adults = insidious vs. children

A

T

34
Q

5 groups at higher risk of developing osteomyelitis

A
immunosuppresed
New born
Diabetics
Alcoholics
Drug addicts (IV)
35
Q

Latent radiographic period for osteomyelitis of extremities

A

10 days

36
Q

Latent radiographic period for osteomyelitis of spine

A

3 weeks

37
Q

Earliest radiographic changes of bone and joint infection seen where

A

In soft tissues after 3 days

38
Q

Acute osteomyelitis must be differentiated from what serious pathology

A

Primary malignancy

39
Q

Brodie’s abscess presents clinically like what neoplasm

A

Osteochondroma

40
Q

2 VIP radiographic findings associated with septic arthritis

A

Joint distention

Motheaten or permeative destruction

41
Q

3 radiographic findings to help differentiate DDD from infectious discitis

A
  1. DDD = diminished disc height at many levels
  2. Infectious discitis = ST involvement (DDD doesn’t)
  3. Infectious discitis affects discs before vertebral body, while DDD affects body first
42
Q

Dish vs AS

A

Dish associated with calcification, AS = erosive

DISH = thick hyperostosis; AS = thin, egg shell calcification

43
Q

AS vs psoriatic arthritis

A

AS = thin symmetric calcification; psoriatic = thick and assymmetric

44
Q

Psoriatic arthritis vs RA

A
Psoriatic = skips joints, RA = uniform
psoriatic = DIP only; RA = MCP, wrist, PIP
45
Q

DJD vs psoriatic in hands

A
DJD = DIP and PIP; psoriatic = DIP 
Psoriatic = marginal erosions
DJD = no erosion
46
Q

64 year old M = focal pain around 1st MTP joint. Exam = red, swollen and exquisitely painful to touch.
History of recent URTI. DDX (2)

A

Gout and hypertrophic osteoarthropathy
