22
Q

what are some initial RA abnormalities?

A

acute synovitis with periarticular edema, effusion

juxta-articular hyperemia

23
Q

what does proliferating pannus do in RA?

A

erodes and narrows the cartilage as the pannus releases chondrolytic collagenase enzymes and interferes with nutrition

24
Q

intrusion of pannus into subchondral area produces___

A

cysts

25
Q

when joints are entirely filled with proliferating pannus, what happens?

A

undergoes progressive fibrosis, fibrous ankylosis and possibly bony ankylosis

26
Q

radiographic signs of RA

A
soft tissue swelling
subcutaneous soft tissue mass
uniform loss of joint space
marginal erosions (bare area)
subchondral cysts
juxtaarticular osteoporosis
ankylosis deformity
27
Q

signs and symptoms of RA usually occur when?

A

insidiously, may be proceeded by emotional or physical stress

28
Q

what are the signs and symptoms of RA?

A
articular complaints (pain, tenderness, swelling, stiffness especially in morning (jelling phenomenon)), particularly in the PIP and MCP joint
fatigue, muscle weakness, fever
29
Q

what are some other clinical abnormalities that can be found with RA?

A

raynaud’s
osteopenia
cervical spine subluxations/dislocations

30
Q

rheumatoid nodules

A

firm, non-tender nodules found in 20% in patients

31
Q

what are some extra-articular manifestations of RA?

A

lacrimal gland atrophy leading to dry eyes

vasculitis leading to skin ulcerations

32
Q

what are the signs and symptoms that you have to have at least 4 of to have an RA diagnosis

A

morning stiffness for at least 6 weeks
pain on joint motion for at least 6 weeks
swelling of at least one joint for at least 6 weeks
swelling in at lelast one other joint for more than 6 weeks
bilateral symmetrical joint swelling
subcutaneous nodules
radiographic changes
labratory

33
Q

RA principally involves what joints of the hands and wrist?

A

MCP
PIPs
ulnar aspect of the wrist

34
Q

boutonniere deformity

A

flexion of PIP and extension of DIPs

35
Q

swan neck deformity

A

extension of PIPs and flexion of DIPs

36
Q

where do erosions and swelling occur on the ulna in RA?

A

inferior radioulnar compartment
prestyloid recess
extensor carpi ulnaris tendon sheath

37
Q

what happens when the elbows get RA?

A

joint effusion

38
Q

what happens when shoulders get RA?

A

glenohumeral and AC joint get it

resorption of clavicle

39
Q

what happens when hips get RA?

A

axial migration

41
Q

what do you see in a radiograph of someone who has RA of the shoulder?

A

no osteophytes

licked candy stick appearance of the clavicle

42
Q

if there is an enthesopathic change of the calcaneous, how can you tell if it is RA or Reiter’s?

A

RA- there will be a “fluffy” proliferative change

43
Q

50% of RA patients will get RA where within 10 years?

A

cervical spine

44
Q

what happens to the bones if there is RA of the cervical spine?

A

they can have a big ADI
