  3. scleroderma
48
Q

an example of mechanical rheumatoligcal disorder?

A

osteoarthritis

49
Q

MOA of osteoarthritis?

A

wear of cartilage –> bone less protected –> pain –> less movement –> muscle atrophy

50
Q

symptoms of osteoarthritis?

at least 3 areas 
morning stiffness >60mins

53
Q

presentation of rheumatoid arthritis on radiograph?
