with Fever and/or increased WBC
Osteomyelitis (infection of bone)
What do you have to rule out with Osteomyelitis?
How do you do this?
Malignancy
Biopsy
What is there a risk of with osteomyelitis?
Pathologic Fracture
Who do you refer to for suspected osteomyelitis
Orthopedic Surgon
What would an MRI show in the medullary cavity of somebody with Osteomyelitis?
High signal- consistent with edema
Localized osteomyelitis=
Brodies Abscess
Sclerotic lesion with luscency <1=
> 1=
<1= Osteoid Osteoma
> 1= Brodies Abscess
With infection, If bone on both sides of a joint are involved, what is the diagnosis?
Septic Arthritis
T/F: Identifying soft tissue swelling on plain film in a single, acutely inflamed joint shoulder lead to urgent referral.
True
Significant disc space loss at a single level without signs of degenerative disease, and loss of subchondral bone (endplates) should put what at the top of the ddx list?
Infection
DDX for significant destruction of two vertebra endplates
Septic arthritis
Most joint space narrowing in the spine is due to _
Degenerative Disease (DDD/DJD)
Osteophytes in spine indicate _
Degenerative Disc Disease
T/F: Degree of Radiographic findings and clinical symptoms are poorly correlated.
True
Degenerative Joint Disease is also known as:
Osteoarthritis
T/F: OA has asymmetric distribution of joint space loss.
True
Where are the only sports you will find DJD involving the metacarpals or matatarsals
1st carpometacarpal
1st metatarsalphalangeal
What are the 4 types of arthritis?
Infectious
Degenerative
Metabolic (crystal deposition)
Inflammatory
Which type of arthritis:

Degenerative
Which Type of Arthritis:
Acute Symptoms, Intermittent episodes
Inflammatory
Which type of arthritis:
Acute, Chronic, or asymptomatic
Metabolic- Crystal deposition
In infectious arthritis, is the joint space loss uniform or nonuniform?
Inflammatory=
Degenerative=
Infectious=Uniform
Inflammatory= Uniform
Degenerative= Non-uniform
Who do you refer for with suspected inflammatory arthritis?
Rheumatologist
How do you treat gout?
Manage Hyperurecemia

What are the 6D Radiographic Findings in Neuropathic Arthropathy?
Distended Joint Density Increased Debris Dislocation Disorganization Destruction
Multiple Osteochondral bodies, intraarticular=
Synoviochondrometaplasia
- Synovial chondromatosis
- Osteochondromatosis
Digital Clubbing
Symmetric arthritis
Periostitis
may be a sign of:
Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy
