True

41
Q

Name the 4 stages of Gout

A
  1. Increase Serum Uric Acid

Tophi

45
Q

What do some authors consider to be pathoneumonic for Psoriatic Arthritis?

A

Great Toe DIP joint destruction

46
Q

Why is Tophi a bad boy?

A

Cuz he suck ya momma’s itty bitty titties

…just playing

they are very hard and push on bone and cause remodelling.

47
Q

What is the classic presentation of Gout

A

1st MTP

48
Q

The “Overhanging Margin” is a radiographic sign associated with what arthritis?

A

Gouty

49
Q

What is considered to be pathoneumonic for Gout?

A

Non-Traumatic Olecranon Bursitis

- bilateral

50
Q

CPPD has 3 distinct radiographic presentations. What are they?

A
  1. Chondrocalcinosis
  2. Pseudo-Gout
  3. Pyrophosphate Arthropathy - this is DJD in CPDD
51
Q

T or F

CPPD will always present with all 3 radiographic findings: Chondrocalcinos, Pseudo-gout and Pyrophosphate Arthropathy

A

False

The three circles are interconnected but a patient may present with only 1 or all 3 of the presentations.
- this can be confusing in your differential dx because it can look like DJD, or can be more inflammatory with the pseudo-gout presentation

52
Q

False

Well not totally false but will affect every joint not just the shoulder and wrist.
Shoulder and wrist are more commonly affected by Syringomyelia.

57
