Part 17 Flashcards
AVN of lunate
Keinbock’s disease
who gets Keinbock’s?
people who do manual labor
what is keinbock’s associated with?
negative ulnar variance
progressive pain + soft tissue swelling of wrist
radiographic features of Keinbock’s
initially increase in density of lunate later fragmentation and collapse mixture of sclerosis and radiolucent flattening, collapse and fragmentation altered joint congruity and biomechanics precipitates DJD
what is the possible treatment for Keinbock’s?
silastic implants
tarsal navicular AVN
Kohler’s
signs and symptoms of Kohler’s
localized pain, swelling
navicular patchy, homogenous sclerosis, collapse fragmentation
scheuermann’s disease etiology
in question, probably doesn’t represent a necrosis, likely TRAUMA
what is scheuermann’s disease?
abnormality of the discovertebral junction
usually in teens
chronic back pain, deformity and early DDD
radiology of scheuermann’s
thoracic and lumbar spine 3 continguous vertebra 5 degree anterior body wedging irregular end plates decreased disc space increased kyphosis schmorl's nodes
etiology of juvenile discogenic disease
failure of embryonic vascular channels, centrum defects, notochord clefts to disappear, leaving endplate defects
juvenile discogenic disease produces?
early degeneration, segmental dysfunction, associated pathology of the facet joint
sever’s disease
NOT a necrosis
sclerosis and fragmentation of the calcaneal apophysis represents normal anatomy
correlate clinically
calcified medullary infarct
serpiginous regions of calcification within the bone medulla
usually associated with arteriosclerosis
DDx of serpiginous regions of calcification within bone medulla
- enchondroma
- chondrosarcoma
- calcified medullary infarct
MC hemolytic anemia
sickle cell
what demographic MC gets sickle cell anemia?
african americans
signs/symptoms of sickle cell anemia
pain and swelling in hands and feet
infarct of bowel following obstruction of mesenteric arteries (abdominal crisis)
osseous changes related to infarction, AVN, marrow hyperplasia and retarded growth
those with sickle cell anemia are predisposed to what?
salmonella osteomyelitis
gallstone problems
radiographic findings of sickle cell anemia
marrow hyperplasia coarse trabeculation osteopenia long bone undertubulation hair on end skull osteonecrosis/infarct H shaped vertebra
thalassemia AKAs?
cooley’s anemia
medeterranean thalassemia
presentation of thalassemia
fatigue due to chronic anemia splenomegaly cardiomegaly gallstones marrow hyperplasia extramedullary hematopoiesis maxillary overgrowth (rodent faces)
radiology of thalassemia
coarsened trabeculation (honecomb/lace like) osteopenia erlenmeyer flask deformity
background of hemophilia
X chromosome linked bleeding disorder
female the carrier usually manifest in males
