Diagnostic Imaging 2 Flashcards
gout
males >40yo overprodution of uric acid
extremelly paiful, red, hot and swollen joints
usually mon-articular with the MC site at the MTP of the bg toe (podagra)
tophi cyrstal may be seen
overhanign margin, juxta-aritcular erosions
CPPD
tin linear calcification parallel to articular cortex within the joint space
called chondrocalcinosis when affecting cartilage
MC seen in knee
labs associated with gout
increased uric acid, +ESR
joint asprition
pharmalology for gout
acute-colchicine, chronic allopurinol
HADD
MC affects shoulder joint
round or oval calcifications near the inerrtion of a bursa or tendon
septic arthritis
patient presents with fever, chills, possibly hisotry of trauma/surgery and a warm, tender, swollenjoint
WBC count
AVN
major causee is trumano labs for AVN
all AVNs are self -resolving but takes 8months-2 years
all AVNs can lead to DJD
special tests: bone scan or MRI
preiser’s
carpal scaphoid AVN
scheuermann’s
vertebral end plate epiphysis AVN
MC 10-16yo, rounding of soulders, increased kyphosis, young patient with back pain
legg calve perthes
femoral epiphysis AVN
Kohler’s
tarsal navicular AVN
keinboch’s
carpal lunate AVN
sever’s
calcaneus AVN
blount’s
medial tibial condyle AVN
freiberg’s
head of 2nd or 3rd metatarsal AVN
osteochondritis dessicans
articular surface of medial femoral condyle AVN
16-25yo athletes, knee locks out on extension
associated with Wilson’s sign
best seen on tunnel view radiograph
panner’s
capitellum AVN
radiographic signs of scheuermann’s disease
slight loss of anterior body height of one or more vertebrae (10-15%
multiple endplate irregularities of 3 or more continuous vertebra
casemanagement for scheuermann’s
thoracolumbar brace, strenthen erectors, stretch pecks
can lead to permanent posutural defomrity and early DJD
radiographic signs of legg calve perthes
fragmentation of femoral head (crescent sign)
flattening of femoral head, increased white density of emoral head (snow capped appearance, increased joint space
lealed LCP: mushroom capped appearance
refer to orthopedist for an A brace
