Schoenwald - MSK Flashcards
metabolic bone diseases (2)
osteoporosis
rickets
infectious bone disease
osteomyelitis
non infectious arthritis
osteoarthritis
osteoporosis is caused by
increased bone resorption
rickets is a disease of
calcium metabolism
what do you think when you see, excessive osteoblastic bone formation with abnormal structure and instability
paget dz
reduced mass of mineralized bone dt imbalance of bone metabolism resulting in increased bone resorption
osteoporosis
osteoclasts are involved in
bone resorption
osteoblasts are involved in
bone formation
what does microscopic pathology show for osteoporosis
symmetric thinning of trabecular and cortical bone
bisphosphonates stabilize
trabecular bone
primary osteoarthritis is caused by
age, degenerative
type 1 primary osteoporosis is called
postmenopausal → estrogen loss
type 1 primary osteoporosis is characterized by increased
osteoclastic activity
type 2 osteoporosis is called
senile
type 2 primary osteoporosis (senile) is characterized by
decreased osteoblastic activity
mc bones fx’ed in osteoporosis (3)
hip
compression of vertebrae
distal radius (FOOSH)
rf for osteoporosis (7)
aging
(+) fam hx
smoking etohism
decreased estrogen
low BMI
low Ca diet
lack of weight bearing exercise
secondary osteoporosis is caused by (6)
endocrine-increased parathyroid hormone
DM
Addison’s
GI-manutrition
blood cancers
drugs
what drugs are related to osteoporosis (3)
long term prednisone
heparin
some chemo agents
common presentation of osteoporosis
vertebral compression fx
osteoporosis causes __ of the spine
kyphosis

long hx smoking
postmenopausal
2 parameters of DEXA scan
T score
Z score
T score compares bone mass to
healthy 30 yo
bone density peaks at what age
30
nl for T score
+1 to -1 standard deviation from 30 yo
Z score compares bone density to
what’s normally expected for same age, sex, wt, ethnic/racial origin
abnormal Z score
-2 or lower
T score interpretation
in rickets and osteomalacia, __ is decreased
while __ stays normal
mineralization of osteoid is decreased
bone mass stays normal
rickets and osteomalacia are characterized by
bowing of legs
what 2 minerals are deficient in rickets/osteomalacia
vit d
phosphate
rickets affects what pt population
growing bones of kids
in rickets, inadequate mineralization of osteoid matrix leads to
overgrowth and distortion of epiphyseal cartilage
ostomalacia affects __
in adults
newly formed bone matrix
mc cause of hematogenous spread of osteomyelitis
s.aureus
hematogenous spread of osteomyelitis is mc in
kids
in kids, osteomyelitis affects __ and spreads from there
epiphyseal plate
what is an example of contiguous spread of osteomyelitis
diabetic foot wound
contiguous spread of osteomyelitis is mc in
adults
__ is common in contiguous spread of osteomyelitis,
but it can also be __
s.aureus
polymicrobial
T/F osteomyelitis be chronic or acute
T!
clinical findings of osteomyelitis
pain
warmth of area affected
+/- fever → often absent
lab findings for osteomyelitis (3)
elevated:
ESR
CRP
platelets
radiographic findings of osteomyelitis (2)
destruction of bone
periosteal edema
what type of culture is not reliable in osteomyelitis
superficial → ex sinus tracks
dx of osteomyelitis (2)
blood cultures
bone bx
tx for osteomyelitis
long term IV abx targeted to organism → at least 6 weeks
+/- surgical debridement
in osteomyelitis, infxn lifts __,
which impairs blood flow and results in __ of the bone
periosteum
ischemia
what is sequestrum
dead bone fragment
what is involucrum
new bone growth around sequestrum
what is brodie’s abscess
residual abscess surrounded by bone growth
in osteomyelitis, the infection creates __ through bone, which can drain to the outside
sinus tracks
what is this xray showing
osteomyelitis
what test differentiates infectious vs inflammatory arthritis
synovial fluid analysis
normal synovial fluid analysis
appearance: clear
WBC: <200
%PMNs: <25
glucose % serum level: 95-100
crystals under polarized light: none
what arthritis conditions will show have turbid appearance of synovial fluid
acute gout
pseudogout
septic arthritis
inflammatory (RA)
in septic arthritis, synovial fluid may appear (2)
turbulent/purulent
what 2 arthritis conditions will show WBC 5,000-50,000 on synovial fluid analysis
pseudogout
inflammatory (RA)
in septic arthritis WBC count will be >
50,000
in acute gout, WBC will be
2,000-5,000
in non inflammatory arthritis (DJD/OA) WBC will be <
400
% PMNs will be >75 in all arthritic conditions except for (2)
non inflammatory (OA)
RA
which arthritic conditions will show hypoglycemia (<50)
septic arthritis
in pseudogout, bg can be what range
80-1000
