Radio 2 Flashcards
most common arthropathy
osteoarthritis
essential findings in oa
OJ Simpson is OA
- osteophytes (spurs)
- sclerosis (increased whiteness or calcification)
- joint space narrowing (always)
most common weight bearing parts
- medial compartment of knee
- superolateral aspect of the hip
- spine (diffuse)
all must be present!
occasional findings in oa
- subchondral cyst/geode
- marked degenerative joint disease
- primary osteoarthritis
- erosions
classic findings in primary osteoarthritis
- dip, pip, base of thumb
- bilateral
- symmetric
- younger patients (female)
differential for oa
diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis
- osteophytes without sclerosis or joint space narrowing
- spurs on spine
- idiopathic
clinical and radiologic hallmarks of rheumatoid arthritis
RA! OJ is SOFT, BI, and MARGINALized by the PD
- soft tissue swelling
- osteoporosis
- joint space narrowing
- marginal erosions
- proximal distribution
- bilateral and symmetric
typical presentation of ra
- hand: proximal bilateral symmetrical
- knee: all compartments
- hip: axial migration
subgroup of hla b27 spondyloarthropathies
- negative for ra factor
- involvement of axial skeleton (vertebral bodies)
- ankylosing spondylitis
- ibd
- psoriatic arthritis
- reactive arthritis (reiter’s)
characteristics of hla b27 spondy
- bony ankylosis
- proliferative new bone formation
- predominant axial spinal involvement
what is syndesmophyte
- mostly spine
- paravertebral ossification
- as and ibd = syndesmophytes are marginal and symmetric
- reiter’s and psoriatic arthritis = non-marginal and asymmetric
sacroiliac joint involvement in spondyloarthropathies
as and ibd = bilateral and symmetric
pa and rs = bilateral asymmetric or unilateral
bony abnormalities in gout take ___ years to manifest
4-6 years
hallmarks of gout
- well defined erosions
- soft tissue nodules
- random distribution
- no osteoporosis
what is podagra
specific term for finding in 1st metatarsopahangeal joints
gout vs pseudogout
gout: monosodium urate
pseudogout: calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals
classic triad of pseudogout
- pain
- cartilage calcification (chondrocalcinosis) !!! @ knee, symphysis pubis, triangular fibrocartilage
- joint destruction
- severe mimics carcot joint
pseudogout is associated with
- hyperparathyroidism
- gout
- hemochromatosis
classic findings in charcot’s joint
- severe joint destruction and fragmentation
- dislocation
- heterotopic new bone/osteophyte formation
- diabetic foot!!
most common etiology of septic arthritis
s aureus via hematogenous spread, local direct extension, or trauma
radiologic findings in septic arthritis
- soft tissue swelling and distention of joint capsule with fluid (early)
- joint space narrowing (late)
- absence of osteoporosis
- bone destruction and ankylosis
