Dougherty Part 5 Flashcards
what is the cause of primary osteoarthritis
idiopathic with aging
where does primary osteoarthritis primarily effect men and women
men: hips predominate
women: knees and hands
what are the main causes of secondary osteoarthritis
repeated injuries to a joint
hemochromatosis
obesity
osteoarthritis is also called what and is due to what by what
degenerative joint disease (DJD)
degeneration of cartilage outpaces repair
what are the phases of osteoarthritis
chondrocyte injury
chondrocytes proliferate
chondrocytes drop out with loss of cartilage
what is bone eburnation and when is it seen
exposed bone on surface-looks like polished ivory and underlying bone sclerosis
seen in osteoarthritis
what is an osteophyte (bone spur) and when is it seen
extra bone at joint edge
seen in osteoarthritis
what is seen grossly in osteoarthritis
superficial roughened and cracked cartilage subchondral cysts of synovial fluid bone eburnation joint mice osteophytes
what is joint mice and when are they seen
loose bodies of cartilage
seen in osteoarthritis
what happens to osteoarthritis with use
worsens
what is a heberden node and when is it seen
osteophytes in DIP in women
seen in osteoarthritis
what does a patient with osteoarthritis present with
deep achy pain morning stiffness worsens with use crepitus of joint limited range of motion vertebral osteophytes impinge on nerve roots
osteoarthritis spares what
wrists, elbows, shoulders
what is rheumatoid arthritis
systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease
nonsuppurative proliferative inflammatory synovitis often destroying cartilage with later ankylosis of the joint
who and when are affected by rheumatoid arthritis
females > males
any but most often 40-70
what is pannus
exuberant inflamed synovium
chronic inflammation with T-cells (mostly CD4+), B-cells, plasma cells, macrophages
granulation tissue with hemosiderin
erodes articular cartilage
erodes bone (juxtarticular cysts, subschondral cysts, osteoporosis)
what is the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis
antigen exposure in a susceptible host creating an ongoing autoimmune processes
80% of rheumatoid arthritis patients have what
Rheumatoid factor (non specific)
