A

chronic joint disease

58
Q

Iliotibial band syndrome

A

overuse injury of lateral knee that occurs primarily in runners. Pain develops secondary to friction of iliotibial band against lateral femoral epicondyle

59
Q

Increased pressure within a fascial compartment of a limb. Venous outflow obstruction and arteriolar collapse. Anoxia and necrosis. Causes include significant long bone fractures, reperfusion injury, animal venoms. Presents with severe pain and tense, swollen compartments with limb flexion. Motor deficits are late sign of irreversible muscle and nerve damage.

A

Limb compartment syndrome

60
Q

Common cause of shin pain and diffuse tenderness in runners and military recruits. Caused by bone resorption that outpaces bone formation in tibial cortex.

A

Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints)

61
Q

Plantar fasciitis

A

inflammation of plantar aponeurosis characterized by heel pain and tenderness

62
Q

A

Osgood-Schlatter Disease (traction apophysitis)

63
Q

Patellofemoral syndrome

A

Overuse injury that commonly presents in young, female athletes as anterior knee pain. Exacerbated by prolonged sitting or weight-bearing on a flexed knee. Treatment: NSAIDs, thigh muscle strengthening

64
Q

Radial Head Subluxation (aka Nursemaid’s elbow)

A

Common elbow injury in children <5 years. Caused by a sudden pull on the arm -> immature annular ligament slips over head of radius. Injured arm held in extended/slightly flexed and pronated position.

65
Q

Achondroplasia

A

Failure of longitudinal bone growth (endochondral ossification) -> short limbs. Membranous ossification not affected (large head).

66
Q

Osteoporosis

A

Spongy and compact bone lose mass and interconnections despite normal bone mineralization and lab values. Most commonly due to increase bone resorption due to decreased estrogen levels and old age. Can be secondary to drug usage or other conditions.

67
Q

Potential complication of osteoporosis. Acute back pain, loss of height, kyphosis. Also can present with fractures of femoral neck, distal radius (Colles fracture)

A

vertebral compression fractures

68
Q

Osteopetrosis

A

Failure of normal bone resorption due to defective osteoclasts. Thickened, dense bones prone to fracture. Mutations impair ability of osteoclast to generate acidic environment necessary for bone resorption. Overgrowth of cortical bone fills marrow space. Narrowed foramina can lead to cranial nerve impingement and palsies.

69
Q

Osteomalacia/Rickets

A

Defective mineralization of osteoid or cartilaginous growth plates. Most commonly due to vitamin D deficiency.

70
Q

Osteitis deformans (Paget disease of bone)
