Musculoskeletal Flashcards
hereditary disorder of bone growth; mutation of FGFR3; impaired maturation of cartilage that affects all bones; major cause of dwarfism
achondroplasia
short stature; shortened proximal extremities; bowed legs; normal torso length; large head to body size; lordotic posture (excessive inward curvature of lumbar vertebrae)
achondroplasia
heterogeneous group of heritable connective tissue disorders; mutations in either the COL1A1 or COL1A2 genes, which guide type 1 collagen formation
osteogenesis imperfecta
most common and least severe form of osteogenesis imperfecta; opalescent teeth
type 1
most severe form of osteogenesis imperfecta
type 2
most severe form beyond perinatal period of osteogenesis imperfecta
type 3
form of osteogenesis imperfecta where blue sclera fade with age
type 4
cortical bone appears attenuated; reduced bone matrix production; bone architecture remains immature throughout life, with woven bone failing to transform to lamellar bone
osteogenesis imperfecta
treatment for osteogenesis imperfecta
bisphosphonate therapy
hereditary disorder characterized by increased bone density; secondary to defect in osteoclastic function; thickening of cortical bone and sclerosis of cancellous bone
osteopetrosis
which form of osteopetrosis?: normocytic anemia; symptoms secondary to cranial nerve pressure; pathologic fracture; skull deformities, hypertelorism; delayed tooth eruption; autosomal recessive
infantile (malignant) form
which form of osteopetrosis?: milder, typically detected upon routine radiograph; no anemia; no cranial nerve compression; uncommon pathologic fracture; osteomyelitis; autosomal dominant
adult (benign)
numerous osteoclasts; lack of Howship’s lacunae; dense bone formation
osteopetrosis
porous bones, reduced bone mass resulting in increased bone fragility; can by primary or secondary to a variety of conditions; most common: senile, post-menopausal
osteoporosis
which demographic is most prone to osteoporosis?
caucasian females
fractures of vertebrae, pelvis, femur; kyphosis (overcurvature of thoracic vertebrae, hunchback)
osteoporosis
disease of bone characterized by abnormal resorption and deposition of bone; unknown etiology; possible viral etiology; recent gene mutations have been identified
pagets disease of bone
older individuals; monostotic or polyostotic; thickened, enlarged, and weakened bones; often painful
pagets disease
maxilla>mandible; enlarged alveolar ridges; may see spacing of the teeth
pagets disease
early - decreased radiodensity and altered trabeculation; later - patchy, sclerotic bone (cotton wool); hypercementosis
pagets disease
increased serum alkaline phosphatase; normal calcium and phosphorous levels; elevated urinary hydroxyproline
pagets disease
osteoblastic formation and osteoclastic resorption of bone; basophilic reversal lines (mosaic or jigsaw pattern)
pagets disease
… develops in about 1% of pagets disease patients
osteosarcoma
defective mineralization of bone matrix; due to vitamin D deficiency
rickets and osteomalacia
in infancy/childhood; bowing of legs; Rachitic rosary (prominence of the costochondral junction)
rickets
in adults; diffuse skeletal pain; susceptibility to bone fracture
osteomalacia
one of the most common pathologies affect bone; causes- traumatic, stress (repetitive loading), pathologic (in an area of existing bone disease)
fractures
a bony … bridges the fracture
callus
