Q

Later changes in bone repair characterized by (3)

A
  • Formation of provisional callus: cartilage, bone, CT
  • Bone adjacent to fracture becomes necrotic and is resorbed
  • well-formed callus appears w/in weeks and undergoes remodeling

9
Q

When bone repair goes very wrong:

A
  • deformity if displaced fracture
  • abnormality persists because bone fragments require resorption which delays healing and enlarges callus
  • false joints (pseudoarthrosis) cause inadequate immobilization and movement inhibits callus formation

Q

What are the 3 Seronegative spondylo-arthropathies

A
  1. Ankylosing spondylitis
  2. Reiter’s AKA reactive arthritis
  3. Enteropathic arthropathy
17
Q

Ankylosing spondylitis population of people, spine characteristics and where does it start?

A
  • Men, 19-35 yo
  • “Bamboo spine”
  • Starts in SI region
18
Q

Reiter’s syndrome is associated with (3)

A

Infectious arthritis
Conjunctivitis
Urethritis

Note: symptoms come and go and usually vanish after a few months

19
Q

Enteropathic arthropathy is an result of what 2 things?

A

Ankylosing spondylitis and GI issue (e.g. crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, etc)

20
Q

Hyperuricemia is associated with what

A

Gout and gouty arthritis

21
Q

General features of gout (3)

A
  • Tophi (lesions of chronic gout)
  • Red, hot, swollen joint
  • uric acid formation in kidneys (could lead to stone formation)
22
Q

What is deposition of calcium pyrophosphate cyrstals in joint (e.g. knee, wrist)?

A

Chondrocalcinosis aka CCPD or pseudogout

23
Q

What is loss of peripheral sensation due to DM, vitamin D deficiency or other neuropathy? And what can this lead to?

A

Charcot joint (neuropathic arthropathy)

Leads to excessive and repetitive joint trauma because they don’t know where their feet are.

24
Q

Diverse groups of disease that affect muscle fibers

A

Myopathy

25
Q

Muscular dystrophy is a group of hereditary myopathies. Features include (5):

A
  • Gower’s sign, unusual method of standing up
  • Pseudohypertrophy of muscles of calf due to fatty ingrowth of muscle
  • Winged scapula
  • Scoliosis
  • Cardiomyopathy (female)
26
Q

What is a functional blockade of myoneural junction

A

Myasthenia gravis where antibodies attach ACh receptors on postsynaptic membrane

27
Q

Features of Myasthenia gravis (4)

A
  • thymoma (thymus cancer)
  • ptosis, double vision
  • weakness of extremity muscles and limited endurance
  • exacerbation and remissions
28
Q

Altered composition of bone “other” diseases (3)

A
  1. Osteogenesis imperfecta - type 1 collagen deficiency
  2. Osteopetrosis - albers-schönberg disease, “marble bones”
  3. Achondroplasia - dwarfism
29
Q

Type 1 collagen deficiency (name) and 4 features

A

Osteogenesis imperfecta

  1. Osteopenia - thinning and fracturing
  2. Blue sclera - choroid shows thorugh
  3. Hearing loss - abnormal ossicles
  4. Small, misshapen teeth
30
Q

Overgrowth, sclerosis of bone (name) and 2 features

A

Osteopetrosis (Albers-schönberg disease, “marble bones”)

  • thickening of cortex and narrowing of medullary cavity
  • brittle and fracturing
31
Q

Long bones that are short due to premature ossification of epiphyseal plates (name) and 2 features about the bone structure (skull, spine)

A

Achondroplasia - dwarfism

  • skull = normal size
  • length of spine is normal but kyphoscoliosis is common
32
Q

Defect in collagen synthesis and structure (name) and 4 features

A

Ehlers-Danilo’s syndrome

  • hypermobility in joint
  • stretchy skin
  • abnormal heart valve
  • increased bruising
33
Q

What is a disorder of CT from defect in gene regulating fibrilin? (Name)

A

Marfan’s syndrome

Fibrillin is a glycoproteins secreted by fibroblasts to forma. Microfibrillar network in ECM. Its absence appears to affect the proper deposition of CT fibers (elastin) and leads to changes in skeleton, eyes and cardiovascular system

34
Q

In marfan’s syndrome, what are typical changes in skeleton, eyes and cardiovascular system (7)

A
  • Tall, slender build with arachnodactylyl
  • High, arched palate
  • Thoracic abnormalities
  • Hyperextensible joints
  • Weak suspensory ligaments of the lens
  • Weakening of aortic media which predisposes to dissecting aneurysm
  • Weakened cardiac valves “floppy valve syndrome”
