Panner's disease
osteonecrosis of the capitellum; kids 5-10; no loose bodies
27
Scheuermann's disease
osteonecrosis of the thoracic spine, resulting in kyphosis (3 adjacent levels with wedging + thoracic kyphosis of > 40 degrees)
28
dequervain's tenosynovitis
inflammation of the 1st extensor compartment - extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus
29
intersection syndrome
occurs where 1st extensor compartment crosses over the 2nd; affects the extensor carpi radialis longus and previs
30
Buford complex
absent anterior/superior labrum with thickened middle glenohumeral ligmaent; labral tear mimic
31
sublabral foramen
unattached portion of labrum from 1 to 3 o'clock; mimics SLAP tear; should not extend below 3 o'clock (horizontal)
32
What are the types of Bankart lesions?
GLAD, Perthes, ALPSA, cartiagineous, osseous
33
GLAD
Glenolabral Articular disruption; most mild version; superficial anterior inferior labral tear with associated articular cartilge damage; no instability
34
Perthes
detachment of anterior inferior labrum (3-6 o'clock) with medially stripped but intact periosteum
35
ALPSA
Anterior labral periosteal sleeve avulsion; medially displaced labroligamentous complex with absence of the labrum on the glenoid rim; intact periosteum
36
True bankart
cartilagenous or osseous; periosteum is disrupted
37
What are the types of reverse bankart lesions?
reverse osseous; POLPSA; bennett lesion, Kim's lesion
38
Reverse osseous bankart
fracture of posterior inferior rim of glenoid
39
POLPSA
posterior labrum and posterior scapular periosteum are stripped from glenoid, resulting in a recess that communicates with the joint space; periosteum remains intact
40
Bennett lesion:
extra-articular curvilinear calcification associated with posterior labral tears; related to injury of posterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament
41
Kim's lesion
incompletely avulsed/flattened/mashed posteiror-inferior labrum; glenoid cartilage and posterior labrum relationship is preserved
42
HAGL
Humeral avulsion glenohumeral ligament; non bankart lesion; avulsion of inferior glenohumerla ligament, often results from anterior shoudler dislocation; J sign - normal U shaped inferior glenohumeral recess is retracted away from the humerus and looks like a J
43
What muscle is atrophied in quadrilateral space syndrome?
teres minor (From compression of axillary nerve)
44
Parsonage Turner syndrome
idiopathic involvement of brachial plexus; pathology in 2 or more nerve distributions
45
Master Knot of Henry
where the flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus cross at the medial ankle
46
Most common location for Morton's neuroma
between 3rd and 4th metatarsal heads
47
features of TB in the spine
- spares disc space - multi level skip involvement - large paraspinal abscess - calcified psoas abscess - gibbus deformity - destructive kyphosis
48
mimic for TB in the spine
Brucellosis
49
what are rice bodies
sloughed, infarcted synovium; seen in end stage RA and TB infection
50
Tuberculosis dactylitis
kids > adults - involves short tubular bones of hands and feet - diaphyseal expansile lesion with soft tissue swelling
51
Factors favoring low grade chondrosarcoma over enchondroma
- pain - cortical destruction - scalloping of > 2/3 of cortex > 5 cm in size - changing matrix

what is X-18 translocation associated with?
synovial sarcoma
53

differential for tibial bowing
- NF-1: anterior; hypoplastic fibula with pseudoarthrosis - Physiologic: lateral; 18 months - 2 years - Rickets: lateral - Hypophosphatasi: lateral; rickets in a new born - blount's disase - tibia vara in a fat black kid; associated with early walking - Osteogenesis imperfcta - dwarfism
60
Felty syndrome
RA for > 10 years splenomegaly neutropenia
61
CPPD locations
- TFCC - peri-odontoid tissue and intervertebral discs - shoulder - elbow - patellofemoral joint - radiocarpal joint
62
Milwaukee Shoulder
- apocalyptic destruction of shoulder due to hydroxyapatite - occurs in old women with history of trauma to the joint - similar to neuropathic destruction
63
SLE arthritis
- reducible ulnar subluxations at the MCPs on Norgaard view; reduce on AP view - NO articular erosions - SLE also predisposes to patellar dislocations
64
Jaccoud's arthropathy
similar to SLE in the hand - ulnar deviation of 2nd - 5th fingers at MCP - non erosive history of rheumatic fever
65
red marrow --> yellow marrow conversion order
- extremities --> axial skeleton (hands/feet first) | - epiphyses/apophyses --> diaphysis --> distal metaphysis --> proximal metaphysios
66
Normal red marrow variants
- proximal femoral metaphysis - teenagers | - distal femoral metaphysis - teenagers + menstruating women
67
best sequence for determining Active Paget's vs. malignant transformation
- T1 pre-con | - both will be T2 bright and enhance
68
Chloroma
