Hematologic and Vascular Disorders Flashcards
death of osseous cellular and marrow components of bone
avascular necrosis
synonyms for avascular necrosis
- osteonecrosis
- ischemic necrosis
- osteochondrosis
what makes epiphyseal necrosis clinically evident
articular surface collapse
etiology for AVN
spontaneous/idopathic MC others PLASTIC RAGS
what happens to marrow space pressure in AVN
increases
AVN is caused by obstruction of extra- and intra- osseous vessels by (4)
- arterial embolism
- venous thrombus
- traumatic disruption
- external compression
four stages of AVN
- avascular
- revascularization
- repair
- deformity
obliteration of epiphyseal blood supply precipitating death of osteocyte and bone marrow cells occur during this phase of AVN
avascular phase
growth is altered in which phase of AVN
avascular phase
in the avascular phase, epiphyseal and articular cartilage growth slows down or stops
FALSE; epiphyseal growth slows but articular cartilage growth continues
in which phase of AVN does deposition and resorption of bone occur
revascularization phase
during revascularization phase of AVN, deposition occurs and new bone is deposited directly on dead bone, thickening traveculation and increasing density… phenomenon known as
creeping substitution
resoprtion is secondary to ___, ___. ___ and produces bony fragmentation
phagocytosis, fibrosis, infiltration
(phase of AVN) bony resorption replaced by bony deposition
repair and remodeling phase
(phase of AVN) restitution of epiphysis to its normal configuration
deformity phase
residual deformity is due to
force exerted on necrotic bone during revascularization and repair phases
general radiological features of epiphyseal infarction (6)
- collapse of articular cortex
- fragmentation
- mottled trabecular pattern
- sclerosis
- subchondral cysts
- subchondral fracture
represents impaction fracture of necrotic bone, loss of normal smooth contour
collapse of articular cortex
manifestation of resorption and weakening, radiolucent clefts appear
fragmentation
reveals thickened irregular pattern traversing necrotic areas
mottled trabecular pattern
mottled trabecular pattern is most likely seen in which phases of AVN
- revascularization
- repair
occurs w revascularization of new bone, deposited around dead trabeculae. Typically occurs centrally, peripherally cortical margin or maybe a homogenous/patchy increase in density
sclerosis
patchy well circumscribed areas of rarefaction identical to DJD cysts
subchondral cysts
result from weakened subchondral bone, separates articular cortex from cancellous bone
subchondral fractures
subchondral fractures have which radiological signs associated with them
crescent/rim sign
metaphyseal and diaphyseal infarcts MC locations
distal femur, proximal tibia, proximal humerus. usually medullary
AVN of adult femoral head
chandler’s disease
who is more prone for chandler’s disease
4:1 males
necrotic area tends to be wedged or semilunar shaped, apex centrally, involving anterior superior margin
bite sign
bite sign most likely indicates which disease
chandler’s disease
subchondral bone collapse is indicated by which sign
crescent sign
