B6-007 CBCL Arthritis Flashcards
wear and tear destroys articular cartilage
osteoarthritis
inflammation induces formation of pannus which erodes articular cartilage and bone
rheumatoid arthritis
pain in weight bearing joints after use that improves with rest
osteoarthritis
asymmetric joint involvement, no systemic symptoms
osteoarthritis
in osteoarthritis, knee cartilage loss begins [medial/lateral]

osteophytes
osteoarthritis
asymmetric joint space narrowing
osteoarthritis
subchondral sclerosis, cysts, and loose bodies
osteoarthritis
synovial fluid WBC <2000

spares MCP
osteoarthritis
morning stiffness lasting >1 hr
rheumatoid arthritis
juxta-articular osteopenia
rheumatoid arthritis
symmetric joint space narrowing and soft tissue swelling
rheumatoid arthritis
spares DIP and 1st CMC
rheumatoid arthritis
deposition of calcium pyrophosphate crystals within the joint space
pseudogout
associated with hemochromatosis, hyperparathyroidism, and joint trauma
pseudogout
chondrocalcinosis on xray
pseudogout
rhomboid crystals under polarized light
pseudogout
acute treatment of pseudogout
NSAIDs, colchicine, glucocorticoid
**same as acute gout
prophylaxis for pseudogout
colchicine
common pathogens causing septic arthritis [3]
S. aureus
Streptococcus
N. gonorrhoeae
synovial fluid WBC >50,000
septic arthritis
osteophytes are consistent with
OA
involvement of the MCP is typical of
