Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System (BONE) Flashcards
Benign, older males, bone deformities, mosaic layers, osteoporosis Circumscripta, BOWING TIBIA, PSEUDOFRACTURES, cortical thickening, Osteoblastic-osteoclastic activity, Saber shin, Deafness, coarsened trabeculae, IVORY WHITE VERETEBRAE
Paget’s/ Osteitis Deformans
An increase in alkaline phosphatase by 40 times may indicate what? SHAGGY APPEARANCE
Paget’s/ Osteitis Deformans
“ELEPHANT MAN”, genetically inherited, autosomal dominant, chromosome 17. CAFE AU LAIT. MERLIN gene mutation, LISCH nodules of iris. TUMOR
Neurofibromatosis aka Von Recklinghausen’s Disease
What is the aka for Neurofibromatosis?
Von Recklinghausen’s Disease
Bone thinning, not a tumor, lesions/growths in bones, one bone=monostotic, many bones= polyostotic… Femur (SHEPARD’S CROOK)
Fibrous Dysplasia
Young girls, several bones involved, endocrine related, precocious (early puberty), cafe au lait, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia
McCune - Albright’s Syndrome
MOST COMMON benign bone tumor of the VERTEBRAE. Strawberry on face or scalp. (port wine stain). Infants!
Hemangioma
MC benign bone tumor of the BODY, large cartilage capped growth, common around knee, Sessile (no stalk) and pedunculated.
Osteochondroma
Brittle bones, genetic, blue sclera, abnormal collagen II, fractures.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Overgrowth and sclerosis bone, however, weak and fractures. ERLENMEYER FLASK
Osteopetrosis
Post menopausal, Increased fractures especially femoral neck. BONE TAKER–Doweger HUMP
Osteoporosis
Staph infection in BONE. “Staph attacks bone”
Osteomyelitis
TB of the spine. Spreads lungs-> thoracics-> eats joint-> vertebra collapses-> increases kyphoses= GIBBUS DEFORMITY.
Pott’s Disease
fracture where the ligament pulls away part of bone.
Avulsion
Fracture where it protrudes through skin.
