Q

when does a lytic tumour show on a x ray?-

so?

A

when 60% bone density is lost
so tumour may be present before you can see on xray

MRI more sensitive so will see sooner

34
syndesmophyte
a bony growth originiatin inside a ligament, commonly seen in the ligaments of the spine
35
enthesitis
inflammation of entheses, where tendons/ligmanets join to bone heel
36
which pathology has charachteristicly symmetrical joint pain
RA | and RA-like reactive arthritis
37
are crystal arthropathies inflam?
yes
38
is OA inflam?
no
39
what is the difference between the presentation of a joint that has inflam/non inflam cause
``` inflam = Swollen (tumor) Red (rubor) Warm (callor) Painful (dolor) Stiff ``` ``` non inflam = still painful swollen but NOT red / hot ```
40
typically, what is the age presentation of a inflam/non-inflam patient
inflam -- young (family history) non-inflam == old, (related to sport/occupation/wear+tear))
41
how to distinguish RA and OA by pattern of joints affected (typically)
RA - symmetrical, polyarthritis OA - unilateral , one-set of joints
42
would you see systemic illness (eg fatigue) in OA or RA
RA
43
what are the x ray differences between RA and OA
``` RA = LESS Loss of joint space Erosion (peri-articular) Soft tissue swelling Soft bones - osteopenia ``` ``` OA - LOSS Loss of joint space Osteophytes (bony growths) Subchondral sclerosis Subchondral cysts ```
44
what does bone pain (rather than joint pain) indicate
tumour infection fracture
45
synovial membrane lines what?
fibrous capsule
46
weber classification of joints
syndesmosis = immovable joint where bones are joined together A- below syndesmosis B - at point of syndesmosis C - above syndesmosis
47
rotator cuff muscles
``` SITS supraspinatus infraspinatus teres minor subscapularis ```
48
total vs hemi joint replacement - material - pro of each
total = metal+metal last longer hemi = bone + metal less long - but less sternous surgery for patient
49
complications of fractures
LOCAL surrounding damage - nerves, organs, vasculature compartment syndrome - increased pressure effects nerves, vessels infection/contamination- open wound/surgery ``` SYSTEMIC fat embolism (eg PE) ``` shock immobility (clot - stroke PE etc) delayed union/ non union/ mal union
50
how long before it counts as non-union
6months | no healing
