Involves multiple joints, especially in hands
What are characterisitic pathology features of rheumatoid arthritis?
Destructive
Inflammatory synovitis (Pannus)
Necrotizing granulomas (rheumatoid nodules
What is rheumatoid factor?
Involved in rheumatoid arthritis
IgM directed against Fc portion of IgG
What is Gout?
Imbalance of urate production and excretion
Caused by monosodium urate crystals
What are monosodium urate crystals?
Needle-shaped that are negatively birefringent under polarized light
Turn yellow in parallel light
When in peak bone mass?
20-40
Slow decrease after especially in women
What stimulates osteoclasts?
Osteoblasts
What is thanatotropic dwarfism?
Lethal form of dwarfism due to two copies of FGFR3 mutation

Osteogenesis imperfecta
Mutation in a1 and a2 chain of collagen type I
AD
What are the phenotypes of Osteogenesis imperfecta?
Brittle bones/ BLUE SCLERA
Lethal in utero
What is osteomyelitis?
Inflammation of bone marrow and bone
Usually infectious
Inflammation is pyogenic or granulomatous

S. aurues (90%)
Group B strep and Haemophilus in NEONATES
Pseudomonas (IVDU)
Mycobac (Elderly, debilitated, immunocompromised)
Salmonella (Sickle Cell patients)
What is seen in histo for chronic osteomyelitis?
Fibrosis and plasma cell infiltration in bone marrow
What is seen in tuberculosis osteomyelitis?
Necrotizing granulomatous inflammation
What is osteoporosis?
Age related changes
Reduced physical activity
Genetic factors
Nutritional factors
Hormonal influences
What are the hormonal influences of osteoporosis?
Estrogen def leads to acc bone loss
Lifetime risk 1 to 2 in @
1 in 40 in MEN
What is the mechanism of loss of bone mass in post menopause?
Decreased estrogens causes increased IL-1 which increases osteoclast activity
What is secondary osteoporosis?
Rickets (child) osteomalacia (adults)
Defect in mineralization
Due to def in vit D
Hyperparathyroidism: Increased PTH, detected by osteoblasts to stimulate osteoclast activity
Chronic Renal Disease: Hyperphosphatemia causes hyperparathyroidism
What is brown tumor of bone?
Aggregates of osteoclasts and spindled stroma
How does a fracture repair itself?
Procallus: Organization of hematoma along fracture line
Fibrocartilaginous Callus: Ingrowth of mesenchymal cells
-Bridge gap and differentiate towards cartilage
Osteous callus: Cartilage undergoes osssification to form bony trabeculae
