33
Q

pathology of osteoporosis

A

reduction in trabecular bone mass

34
Q

2 radiologic findings (and hallmark) of OA

A

1) Loss of joint space = hallmark

2) Marginal osteophytes (bone spurs)

35
Q

“named” Joint findings in hands in OA (and joint(s) involved)

A

in OA BOTH DIP and PIP are involved: Heberden Nodes

Bouchard nodes

36
Q

Hallmark gross finding on subchondral bone in OA

A

Eburnation = polished ivory appearance

37
Q

gross finding in OA

A

pitting articular cart

38
Q

What cuases a Subchondral cyst?

A

Synovial fluid accessing subchondral space through cracks in articular cartilage

39
Q

Joint involved in charcot joint is related to underlying disease: which?

1) Ankle: ?
2. Knee, hip, spine: ?

A

1) Ankle: DM

2. Knee, hip, spine: tertiary syphillis

40
Q

Hallmark gross finding in RA

A

Pannus: inflammed synovium –> granulation tissue covering articular cartilage (destroys and fuses joint)

41
Q

finger joint findings in RA and how differs from OA
