Q

crystals in Gout?

A

Monosodium Urate crystals

17
Q

Which of the joint disorders is characterized by normal joint spacing?

A

Gout

18
Q

What is a detritus?

A

A loose body within the joint also known as a Joint mouse.

19
Q

What is a geode?

A

A subchondral bone cyst seen in DJD,RA,OA,gout, osteonecrosis and pseudoout (degenerative disorders)

A geode will appear lytic upon X-ray evaluation sometimes surrounded by a thin sclerotic margin.

20
Q

What is highwaters erosion?

A

Notoriously hits the posterior superior area of the calcaneus/ extra articular erosions seen in RA.

21
Q

What is enthesopathy?

A

Area that involves the attachment of a tendon or ligament into the bone. Occurring most commonly with inflammatory arthritis. Ex: Plantar fasciitis.

22
Q

what are the key characteristic of osteoarthritis?

A

Osteophytes and ebernation on the concave side of the joint.

Characteristic joint squaring with joint mice and hallux abductovarus.

23
Q

What are the key characteristics of rheumatoid arthritis?

A

Pannus formation on the side of the joints first.

Targets all MPJ’s with UNIFORM narrowing.

Leads to lateral deviations of the toes.

Notoriously causes osteopenia on the adjacent sides of the bone because its an inflammatory pocess that washes out the bone.

24
Q

what are the key characteristics of psoriatic arthritis?

A

Osteolysis of the distal phalanx targeting the lesser joints hallux ipj and dipj.

Will cause whiskering, ivory phalanx, pencil cupping and sausage digiting.

25
Q

How will septic arthritis present

A

Subchondral resorption without erosions.

26
Q

How will pseudogout present

A

Chondrocalcinosis in which the cartilage becomes calcified.

27
Q

Name the Single Joint arthritis

A 
Sepsis
Internal derangement
Neoplasm
Gout
Lymes disease
Extra articular cause/ ligamen
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
Osteoarthritis
I
Neuropathic disease
Trauma
28

o	Enthesopathy (Tendons involved  Inflammation of tendons at bony attachment)
o	Spinal problems/Skin problems (Psoriasis/Mouth Sores)
o	Headaches
