17
Q

describe geographic holes.

A

usually solitary
indicates slow growing lesions
short zone of tranzition
margin is well defined, can be smooth or lobulated

18
Q

describe moth eaten holes.

A

moderate degree of agression
numerous small holes
larger zone of transition
not well defined margins

19
Q

describe permative holes

A

most aggressive
numerous small holes (1mm)
poorly marginated
wide zone of transition

20
Q

describe acetabular protrusion. what are it’s eponym’s? what line evaluates for it?

A

severe medial hip migration
remodeled acetabulum
also known as otto’s pelvis, protrusio acetabuli
evaulated with Kohler’s line

21
Q

what arthridities can cause acetabular protrusion?

A

OA
RA
bone softening disease (paget’s)

22
Q

what are the max normal measurements for men and women for acetabular protrusion?

A

men: 3mm
females: 6mm

23
Q

when is acetabular protrusion a normal variant?

A

in females

24
Q

which joint disease has the apple core deformity?

A

PVNS

25
Q

what are neurotrophic arthropaties?

A

joint abnormalities secondary to impaired pain perception or proprioception and lack of nutrition from the CNS

26
Q

what is the typical distribution of neurotrophic arthropaties?

A

monoarticular and depends on the underlying abnormality

27
Q

what are the two types of neuropathic arthropaties based on imaging?

A

hypertrophic (bone forming)

atrophic (resorptive)

28
Q

what are some clinical signs and symptoms of neurotrophic arthropathies?

A

painful, swollen joint, neurological disorder
and radiographic signs of destruction together
decreased pain sensation and proprioception
swollen unstable joint

29
Q

weightbearing joints can get what kind of neuropathic arthropathy in general?

A

hypertrophic

30
Q

non-weightbearing joints can get what kind of neuropathic arthropathy in general?

A

atrophic

31
Q

what are common etiologies for neuropathic arthropaties?

A
congenital indifference to pain
alcoholism
diabetic
syphilis
syringomyelia
trauma
steroids
leprosy
32
Q

what are 6 Ds of radiographic signs of neuropathic arthropathies?

A
distended joints
density increase
debris
dislocation
disorganization
destruction
33
Q

knee and lumbar spine involvement with neuropathic arthropaties are usually due to what?

A

tabes dorsalis (syphilis infection)

34
Q

diabetes can cause what joints to be involved in neuropathic arthropathies?

A

talonavicular and tarsometatarsal

35
Q

what are etiologies for hypertrophic neurotrophic arthropathies?

A

disbetes
syphilis (charcot joints)
spinal cord trauma

36
Q

what joints are typically involved in hypertrophic neurotrophic arthropathies?

A

feet, knees, spine

37
Q

atrophic neurotrophic arthropathies present as what?

A

osteolytic process

38
Q

surgical amputation appearance

A

when bone resorption is complete in atriphic neurotrophic arthropathies

39
Q

licked candy stick appearance

A

tapered bone appearance leading to a sharp appearance in atrophic neurotrophic arthropthies

40
Q

cutoff sign

A

associated with atrophic neurotrophic arthropathies
