phemister triad of classical signs:

  • periarticular osteoporosis
  • gradual joint space narrowing
  • peripheral bone erosion
23
Q

bone infection in adults vs children

A

read

24
Q

how to diagnose acute osteomyelitis

A
  • 10-12 day lag of symptoms and radio findings
  • earliest sign: soft tissue swelling
  • bone scan very sensitive
25
Q

radio sign for bone abscess

A

sharply outlined area of rarefaction or lucency in metaphysis surrounded by irregular dense sclerosis

26
Q

subacute vs chronic osteomyelitis

A

subacute >2 w

chronic >1 mo

27
Q

sequestrum and involcrum in osteomyelitis

A
  • sequestra: necrotic avascular area

- involucrum: shell of bone that cloaks sequestrum

28
Q

what is infectious spondylitis

A
  • osteomyelitis in vertebra
  • hematogenous
  • vertebral body > disc > endplate
29
Q

radiologic findings in infectious spondylitis

A
  • earliest: decreased disc height
  • narrowing of disc space
  • erosion and destruction of vertebral end plates
  • paravertebral soft tissue mass
30
Q

t/f tuberculous spondylitis has a greater tendency to spread in spine compared to infectious spondylitis

A

true

31
Q

most severe form of tuberculous spndylitis

A

bony ankylosis

  • sticking of bones
  • contiguous vertebrae
32
Q

what is a gibbus deformity

A

sharp angulation of the vertical spine

33
Q

most common metabolic bone disease

A

osteoporosis (primary senile osteoporosis most common)

34
Q

how to diagnose osteoporosis

A

sum the cortex of the second metacarpal and sum of the cortex should be more than 1/3 of the entire diaphysis

<1/3 = osteoporosis

35
Q

osteomalacia vs osteoporosis

A

malacia: failure of deposition of calcium salts
porosis: deficiency of organic matrix of bone

both have finding of decreased radiographic density

36
Q

uses of bone dositometry

A
  • diagnose osteoporosis
  • determine susceptibility to fractures
  • monitor treatment
  • postmenopausal with hormones
37
Q

causes of osteomalacia in adults

A
  • renal osteodystrophy !! (chronic renal insufficiency)
  • biliary disease
  • dietary insufficiency
  • vitamin d deficiency
38
Q

radiologic finding for osteomalacia

A
  • less defined cortical outline
  • diffuse osteopenia
  • looser fracture/ looser zone/ pseudofracture
  • bone softening: inward bending of pelvic sidewalls and protrusio acetabuli
39
Q

radio findings in hyperparathyroidism

A
  • subperiosteal resorption
  • earliest: resorption of distal phalanx
  • generalized osteopenia
  • brown tumors
  • chondrocalcinosis
  • osteosclerosis
  • rugger jersey sign (spine)
40
Q

findings in pseudohypoparathyroidism

A
