Musculoskeletal Disorders Pt. 2 Flashcards
What is a fluid-filled cavity filled with synovial fluid?
Synovial joint
What is a Fibrous layer of dense regular connective tissue that Attaches bones and Ligaments and tendons reinforce joint?
Articular capsule
What is inflammation of a bone caused by infectious microorganisms, Mostly commonly bacteria, specifically staphylococcus aureus?
Osteomyelitis
What describes a new bone infection that can develop into a chronic infection and inflammatory reaction without proper treatment?
Acute osteomyelitis
What is the result of persistent bone infection, failed treatment, or untreated acute disease?
Chronic osteomyelitis
What is a Bone infection acquired by invasion of the bone by direct extension from the environment?
Exogenous (contiguous) osteomyelitis
What is a Bone infection acquired from the spread of infectious organisms (usually bacterial) via the bloodstream from preexisting infections:
Such as, but not limited, to: sinus, ear, dental, soft tissue, respiratory, and genitourinary infections?
Hematogenous osteomyelitis
What pathology presents with elevated WBC count, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and positive blood cultures?
Osteomyelitis
What is slowly evolving degenerative joint disease that appears to originate in the cartilage and affects the underlying bone, soft tissues, and synovial fluid?
Osteoarthritis
What type of OA is unknown etiology, but may be related to a series of joint degeneration events associated with defective articular cartilage?
Primary OA
What type of OA is associated with a known injury or disorder, such as trauma, infection, hemarthrosis, osteonecrosis, or some other condition?
Secondary OA
What is a disorder of the whole synovial joint, not just “wear and tear” on the articular cartilage: OA is an active disease process with joint tissue destruction, inflammation, and abnormal repair?
OA
What pathology has Underlying bone metabolic changes may proceed with loss of cartilage, hypertrophic bone growth, synovial inflammation, and degenerative changes to the ligaments and tendons?
OA
What pathology presents with the following key inflammatory markers elevated:
Cytokines (IL-1beta and TNF-alpha): may contribute to articular cartilage and bone catabolic events in the joint
Serum C-reactive protein levels are also increased?
OA
What pathology presents with Stiffness of short duration (less than 30 minutes) after period of inactivity (siting and sleeping); short period of morning stiffness that resolves after movement and activity?
OA
