Q

what is a baker’s cyst?

A

extrusion of synovial fluid posterior to the knee joint

25
what LEA pathology communicates with the knee joint and may extend to the calf & thigh?
baker's cyst
26
what LEA pathology can lead to bulging at the back of the knee?
baker's cyst
27
what are baker's cysts associated with?
1. rheumatoid arthritis 2. trauma
28
what are arterial ulcers caused by?
arterial insufficiency due to atherosclerosis
29
where can arterial ulcers of the LEA be found?
toes, outer ankle, outer bony prominences
30
a hematoma has __ connection to an artery
no connection
31
when may hematomas or pseudoaneurysms occur in the LE?
after femoral stick for cardiac catheterization
32
what is an arteriovenous fistula?
abnormal communication between artery & vein
33
complication of an AV fistula?
