Musculoskeletal changes Flashcards
Musculoskeletal system Changes
- Changes in Bone Structure
- Changes in Cartilage Structure
- Deterioration of The Intervertebral Disk Structure
- Problems in Tendons and Ligaments
- Changes in Muscle Structure
Main structure of cartilage consist of
water
collagen
proteoglycans
chondrocytes
what component of cartilage important in resisting mechanical force
collagen network
types of cartilage
Fibrous
hyaline
elastic
Elastic cartilage
external ear
epiglottis
auditory tube
hyaline cartilage
between tip of the rib and bone of sternum
bone surface of synovial joint
supporting larynx
trachea and bronchi
part of nasal septum
fibrous cartilage
Pads within knee joint
between pubic bones of pelvis
intervertebral disc
1st cartilage change stage
doubtful
minimum disruption
about 10% cartilage loss
2nd stage cartilage changes
mild
joint space narrowing
cartilage begin to break down
occurrence of osteophytes
3rd stage of cartilage changes
moderate joint spaces reduction
gaps in cartilage can expand until they reach the bone
4th stage of cartilage changes
joint space greatly reduced
severe
large osteophytes
60% of cartilage loss
changes in intervertebral disc
reduction of water in nucleus pulp which makes it more fibrotic and creates cracks
types of intervertebral degeneration
type 1 to 6
type 1
normal end plate with no interaction
no Modric changes
health
type 2
thinning of endplate, no obvious break
no mordic changes
aging
type 3
-focal endplate defect with established disc marrow contact but with maintained endplate contour
-no mordic changes
-aging
type 4
- endplate defects 25% of endplate area
-associated with mordic changes
-degenerative
type 5
-endplate defect up to 50%
