24
Q

Most common route of bone contamination?

A

Blood-borne (hematogenous) (infections spread!

25
Q

Mandibular osteomyelitis from tooth infection is an example of what route of bone contamination?

A

Direct spread from contiguous source

26
Q

A compound fracture is an example of ______, a route of bone contamination.

A

Direct implantation

27
Q

Post-operative infection is an example of a ____ route of bone contamination.

A

Iatrogenic

28
Q

90% of all bone and joint infections are caused by _____

A

Staphylococcus aureus (bacteria)

29
Q

Osteomyelitis in children can look like what two bone tumors/conditions?

A

Ewing’s sarcoma, osteosarcoma

30
Q

The radiographic features of acute osteomyelitis are similar to what?

A

Primary bone malignancy

  • permeative/moth eaten bone destruction
  • periosteal response
  • cortical destruction
31
Q

A way to potentially differentiate osteomyelitis from a primary bone malignancy on x-ray is ___ of the fat/muscle interface (in osteomyelitis)

32
Q

A dead fragment of bone that is the source of re-infection unless removed

A

Sequestrum

33
Q

Heavy periosteal new bone surrounding infection

A

Involucrum

34
Q

A channel that develops due to pressure so that pus can escape

35
Q

Subacute osteomyelitis: a smoldering infection that doesn’t get better or worse. Due to low virulence of the organism and/or good immunity of the host. What is this called?

A

Brodie’s Abscess

36
Q

DDX for Brodie’s Abscess?

A

Osteoid Osteoma

37
Q

This can happen secondary to chronic osteomyelitis with a draining sinus (smells). Skin cancer tracks down the sinus into the bone

A

Epidermoid Carcinoma (poor prognosis)

38
Q

An organism deposits in vertebral endplate and quickly spreads to the disc causing “discitis”

A

Spinal osteomyelitis

39
Q

Radiographic signs:

  • loss of disc height
  • ill-defined endplates w/erosions
  • soft tissue swelling (where applicable)
A

Spinal Osteomyelitis

40
Q

T/F: The “Vacuum Phenomenon” which sometimes shows up in the discs of patient’s w/DDD will also occasionally show up in patients w/spinal osteomyelitis

41
Q

Are osteophytes and subchondral sclerosis seen in both DDD and spinal osteomyelitis?

A

No, just DDD

42
Q

There is a classification system in endplate changes due to infection called?

A

Modic Changes

43
Q

There are 3 types of Modic changes. Initially water/liquid shows up on T1 as LOW signal, and T2 as HIGH signal. Which type of Modic change?

44
Q

Modic type 2 shows up HIGH T1 and HIGH T2 and is due to ____

45
Q

Modic 3 shows up as LOW T1 and LOW T2, and is due to _____

A

Bone (marble)

46
Q

Which phase of Modic changes can be captured on plain film?
