physical examination, there was some local tenderness
and soft tissue swelling over the proximal and mid
thirds of the left humerus.

Q

Best way to test for soft tissue involvement of Ewing sarcoma?

A

MRI

22

23
Q

A 41-year-old presented to the chiropractor’s office with ongoing right sided back, hip and knee pain for the past 6 months. This began when the patient jumped off a two meter high roof and landed on his feet. He was recently treated with four months of oral corticosteroid
therapy. X-ray and MRI of the right femur shows a disruptive mass in the head of the femur.

Which artery is most likely insufficiency?

A

Osteonecrosis

Medial circumflex femoral a.

24
Q

How does corticosteroid therapy cause osteonecrosis?

A

Interferes with ability to break down lipids, thus build up and clog arteries

25
Q

Osteonecrosis

27
Q

A 35 year old school teacher was admitted to the hospital with a complaint of swelling over her left wrist. The swelling had increased gradually over the preceding year. She did not sustain any kind of trauma or suffer from any fever in the last few months. Examination revealed a diffuse fusiform swelling over the wrist and distal forearm. The overlying skin was tense. However, no signs of inflammation were visible. Movement at all joints were full in range and were painless.
