28
Q

guyon’s canal

A

site of ulnar nerve injury - near hook of hamate and pisiform

29
Q

Lupus inducing drugs

A

hydralazine, procainamide - acetylated in liver, slow-acetylators are more predisposed

30
Q

collagen synthesis

A

pre-pro-alpha-chains cleaved –> pro-alpha chains –> Vit C dependent hydroxylation of proline/lysine –> glycosylation of galactose/glucose to lysine –> procollagen triple helix –> excreted out of RER/cell –> terminal propeptides cleaved by N/C procollagen peptidases –> tropocollagen –> collagen spontaneously assembles –> covalent crosslinks formed by lysyl oxidase

31
Q

osteoclast lineage

A

monocytes

32
Q

RANK/ligand

A

interaction of RANK and ligand result in development of mature multinucleated osteoclasts. osteoprotegerin reduces this interaction - stimulated by PTH and MCSF

33
Q

perimysial inflammation (CD4+),w/ perifasicular atrophy

A

dermatomyositis

34
Q

deoxypyridinoline

A

measure of osteoclast activity, hydroxyproline is less reliable

35
Q

pyrophosphate

A

component of hydroxyapatite - bisphosphanates are analogues

36
Q

humeral head fracture/anterior dislocation of humerus nerve

A

axillary nerve (C5-C6)

37
Q

midshaft fracture of humerus nerve

A

radial nerve (C5-T1) + deep brachial artery - wrist drop, loss of sensation over posterior arm/forearm and dorsal hand

38
Q

supracondylar fracture of humerus nerve

A

median nerve (C5-T1) - ape/pope hand (while making fist) - loss of wrist flexion, thumb opposition, lumbricles, sensation over thenar eminence

39
Q

radial head subluxation nerve

A

deep radial nerve - annular ligament

40
Q

medial epicondyle facture of humerus nerve

A

ulnar (C8-T1)

41
Q

fibular fracture nerve

A

common peroneal nerve (decreased dorsiflexion, eversion and sensation over dorsum of foot)

42
Q

bisphosphonate

A

induces osteoclasts to undergo apoptosis

43
Q

femoral head fracture

A

medial femoral circumflex artery –> avascular necrosis

44
Q

foot drop

A

common peroneal/fibular nerve palsy

45
Q

femoral nerve palsy

A

pelvic fracture/ilopsoas mass - decreased flexion of thigh/extension of leg, sensation over anterior thigh down to medial calf

46
Q

tibial nerve palsy

A

trauma to knee - decreased foot inversion, plantar flexion, sensation over sole of foot

47
Q

popliteal fossa artery/nerve

A

tibial nerve/popliteal artery

48
Q

posterior to medial malleolus nerve/artery

A

tibial/posterior tibial

49
