Q

Radiography for Osteoarthritis?

A

plain xray is the most useful
other types of imaging are rarely needed
-asymmetric narrowing, sclerosis, subchondral cysts, osteophytes (bone spur)

Q

Chondromalacia patellae?

A
affects mainly young women
localized OA at the patellae
may be a precursor to OA of the knee
in early stages Xray are normal
diagnosed based on Physical exam
21
Q

Rheumatoid arthritis?

A

progressive, systemic, inflammatory disorder
unknown etiology
charaterized by:
symmetric synovitis, joint erosions, multisystem extraarticular manifestations

22
Q

RA and DIP?

A

generally it spares the DIP

23
Q

Common signs of RA?

A

ulnar deviation, sublux of MCP

synovitis, spongy feel, effusion bag of water, generally spare DIP

24
Q

Importance of early diagnosis?

A

progressive, benign
structural damage/disability occurs within the first 2-3 years of disease
slower progression of disease is linked to early development

25
Q

RA characteristics?

A
may be abrupt or insidious
peak incidence women in their 50s
joint pain less related to use
prolonged stiffness with inactivity
not limited to the MSK system
26
Q

DIfferential Diagnosis?

A

thyroid disease, hemachromatosis, paraneoplastic, reactive arthritis, polyarticular gout

27
Q

Criteria for RA?

A
morning stiffness >1 hr
arthritis of > 3 joint areas
arthritis of finger of joints
symmetric joint swelling
(must be present for at least 6 wks)
serum RF
Rheumatic nodules
typical radiographic changes
28
Q

Is laboratory data diagnostic?

A

no, need to diagnose based on patient

29
Q

Lab data?

A

RF, Anti-CCP antibody, ESR, CBC, c reactive protein, phase reactants

30
Q

Radiographic data of RA?

A

obtain baseline films
ask for evidence of specific parameters
not diagnostic by itself
c1-c2 affected because its similar to MCP joints

31
Q

c1-c2?

A

similar to MCP, erode the dens, hyperextended neck

32
Q

RA of the skin?

A

rheumatoid nodules
vasculitis
still diseases
drugs

33
Q

RA of HEENT?

A

iritis, uveitits, conjunctivitis, scelritis, episceritis, sicca, hearing loss

34
Q

Sicca?

A

dry eyes, dry mouth

can cause ulcers

35
Q

RA of Pulmonary?

A
intersitial lung disease
cricoarytenoid
pleura
drug
rhuematoid nodules
36
Q

Kaplans disease?

A

coalminer, smokers

nodules in lung that look like metastasis

37
Q

RA of GI?

A

mesenteric vasculitis
ulcer disease with and without treatment
pernicious anemia

38
Q

RA of renal?

A

intersitial renal diseas
proteinuria
drug effects
mesangial GN

39
Q

RA of Neuro?

A

C1-C2 subluxation
entrapment neuropathy
peripheral neuropathy
vasculitis

40
Q

RA of bone?

A

osteoporosis
avascular necrosis
osteomyelitis

41
Q

RA of hematologic?

A

Anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, lymphadeopathy, lymphoma

42
Q

RA of syndromes?

A

Sjorgens, Caplans, Feltys, Amyloid A, Vasculitis, Immunodeficiency, Depression

43
Q

Swan neck?

A

flex MCP, extend PIP, flex DIP

44
Q

Treatment of RA?

A

early treatment
90% of radiographic erosions occur within the first 2 years of synovitis onset
early intervention with DMARDs may prevent long term disability and premature mortality

45
Q

Objectives of treat RA

A

preserve function
diminish symptoms
delay or prevent progession

46
Q

NSAIDs?

A

control symptoms, decrease swelling, decrease stiffness, provide symptom control, do not alter the course of the disease

47
Q

NSAIDs side effects?

A

GI, renal, hepatic, cardiac

48
Q

Steroids?

A

intra-articular, systemic, pulse

short time, no renal evidence to change disease course

49
Q

Methotrexate?

A

DMARD
