28
Q

Why are osteophytes from DJD in the AC joint potentially a big issue?

A

May impinge on rotator cuff tendons leading to tendon calcification and superior migration of humerus

29
Q

What muscle is responsible for the superior pull of the humeral head as a result of rotator cuff impingement?

A

Deltoid

30
Q

Which muscle is most commonly associated with shoulder impingement syndrome?

A

Supraspinatus

31
Q

At what specific location do we see enthesopathic changes involved with DJD of the shoulder?

A

Greater tuberosity of the humeral head

32
Q

Where is the critical zone for a rotator cuff tear, and why is it so critical?

A

1 cm superior to the greater tuberosity (least vascular spot)

33
Q

What is the best tool to diagnose a rotator cuff tear?

A

MRI

34
Q

What four muscles make up the rotator cuff muscles?

A

1 supraspinatus
2 infraspinatus
3 teres minor
4 subscapularis

35
Q

What is Risser’s sign?

A

Growth centers of the iliac crest relative to scoliosis progression

36
Q

How is hydroxyapatite deposition disease different from CPPD in location?

A

CPPD occurs in cartilage; HADD occurs within tendons and bursae

37
Q

What is the most common location for HADD?

A

Supraspinatus tendon (but can also occur in hip, wrist, knee, ankle, and spine)

38
Q

What is the usual age range of those who develop HADD?

A

40-70

39
Q

What is HADD?

A

Deposition of calcium within tendons and bursae

40
Q

If HADD is present and the crystals move upon rotation, what is their location?

A

In tendon

41
Q

If HADD is present and the crystals do not move upon rotation, what is their location?

A

In bursa

42
Q

Which two bursae could be in involved with HADD of the shoulder?

A

Subacromial (superiorly) and subdeltoid (inferiorly)

43
Q

What are the 3 compartments of the knee?

A

Medial tibiofemoral, lateral tibiofemoral, retropatellar

44
Q

Which compartment of the knee is more likely to develop DJD?

A

Medial tibiofemoral (medial joint compartment disease)

45
Q

What is the clinical term for being bowlegged?

A

Genu varus

46
Q

What is the clinical term for being knock-kneed?

A

Genu valgus

47
Q

Is genu varus or valgus associated with medial joint compartment disease of the knee?

A

Varus

48
Q

Where do we see enthesopathic changes of medial joint compartment disease of the knee?

A

Anterior nonarticular surface of the patella

49
Q

The popliteal groove indicates which side of the knee?

A

Lateral

50
Q

Osteophytes due to DJD of the knee can irritate what important structures?

A

ACL and PCL

51
Q

Pelligrini-Steida calcification affects what structure?

A

Medial tibial collateral ligament (MCL)

52
Q

What causes Pelligrini-Steida calcification?

A

Lateral to medial stress/trauma

53
Q

What is synovial osteochondrometaplasia?

A

Multiple intra-articular loose bodies (joint mice)

54
Q

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is common among what population?

A

Younger patients with unexplained hip pain

55
Q

Where is PVNS most common?

A

56
Q

What is the differential diagnosis for PVNS?

A

RA

57
