MSK CIS Handout Flashcards
Increased uric acid level is necessary, but not sufficient for onset of gout. There is a known multifactorial inheritance, which is _________, and has polymorphisms at ______ and ______
X-linked; URAT1; GLUT9
_______ toxicity increases risk of saturnine gout
Lead
Use of _____ diuretics impedes excretion of urate, thus increasing risk for gout
Thiazide
Elevated _______ fit with alcohol abuse, which can predispose to gout
LFTs
The number of co-morbidities in gout patients is related to disease severity. What co-morbidities are highly prevalent in gout patients?
Hypertension Diabetes mellitus CV disease Renal disease Dyslipidemia
Gout is an independent risk factor for ______ and _____ mortality, and is associated with increased co-morbidity, thus an EKG is often performed on pts presenting with gout
Cardiovascular; all-cause
Patients with recurrent hospital admissions for gout have a higher number of comorbid medical conditions, particularly higher rates of _____ disease
Heart
Uric acid crystals can form ____ in heart valves
Tophi
T/F: Pts hospitalized for gout have higher rates of tophaceous disease and higher serum urate concentrations
True
T/F: Pts hospitalized for gout are more likely to be on high doses of allopurinol
False — hospitalized cases are less likely to be on allopurinol, and those on allopurinol areon lower doses

2 tests for GH instability
Apprehension test
Sulcus sign
Apprehension test
Pt seated or supine. Shoulder abducted to 90 and elbow flexed to 90. Stabilize shoulder with 1 hand and force arm into ER with other hand
+ test = pt apprehensive of repeat dislocation
Indicates GH instability
Sulcus sign
Grasp pts elbow and apply inferior traction
+ test = indentation in area beneath acromion
Indicates GH instability
2 tests for long head of the bicep
Yergason’s
Speed’s
Yergasons test
Pts arm at side with elbow flexed at 90. Examiner uses one hand to palpate bicipital groove and monitors there, while other hand grasps the pts wrist. Have pt supinate and ER against resistance
+ test = pain and/or tendon subluxation out of groove
Indicates unstable bicipital tendon/subluxation bicipital tendonitis
Speeds test
Pts arm forward flexed (50-90 deg) at the shoulder with hand supinated. Slightly flex pts elbow. Resist at forearm while pt forward flexes shoulder (resistance to cephalad/superior motion)
+ test = pain in bicipital groove
Indicates bicipital tendonitis of longhead biceps
2 rotator cuff tests indicative of supraspinatus pathology
Empty can test
Drop-arm test
Empty can test
Flex pt shoulders/arms to 90 while horizontally abducting to 45 deg. Then IR both arms so thumbs point down. Press down on forearms while pt resists
+ test = pain or weakness
Indicates rotator cuff pathology of supraspinatus
Drop-arm test
Pt abducts arms to 90 deg then slowly drop arms
+ test = arm will drop or gentle tap on wrist will cause arm to drop
Indicates full thickness tear of supraspinatus
2 tests for rotator cuff impingement
Neer impingement
Hawkins test
