Q

Os Trigonum -what is it? -cause–uni or bi -how common? -what populations have an increase in prevalence

A

-During ossification the secondary ossification center of the talus (usually the tubercle of the talus) fails to unite with body of the talus OR the ossification center may have fraction and never unite to body of talus -applied stress when younger (forceful plantarflexion); usually occurs bilateral -25% of population -ballet dancers and soccer players

Q

Are the muscles/tendons of the dorsal foot intrinsic or extrinsic?

A

Extrinsic because the intrinsic muscles of the feet are in the soles/involved in plantar activity.

Q

Nerves of foot -names (lateral to medial) -what they affect

A

Q

Common innervation and blood supply of anterior leg muscles

A

-anterior tibial artery and deep fibular nerve

21
Q

Primary function of lateral compartment of the leg

A

-eversion of foot

22
Q

Common innervation and blood supply of lateral leg

A

Fibular artery and superficial fibular nerve

23
Q

Best foot position to test the tibialis anterior

A

Dorsiflexion

24
Q

How do you decide whether patient is pregnant before x-ray?

A

-If there is any possibility that patient could be pregnant then you would ask them to do a pregnancy test

25
Q

What do you do if patient is pregnant and needs imaging?

A

MRI or xray with shielding

26
Q

synovial joint histology

A

-SM: synovial membrane -articular cartilage -E: epiphyseal plate

27
Q

function of synovial membrane

A

Synovial membrane: extends folds and villi into the joint cavity and produces the lubricant synovial fluid.

28
Q

How does histologic structure of synovial membrane support its function?

A

-has dense connective tissue that is well vascularized with lots of capillaries which allows for nutrients to be absorbed into ECM and travel to chondrocytes and other cells in the synovial joint

29
Q

What is a brodie abscess

A

a small intraosseous abscess that frequently involves the cortex and is walled off by reactive bone.

30
Q

what is an incolucrum

A

firbous tissue that walls off infection in bone and begins to try to rebuild bone around dead area

31
Q

what is a sequestrium?

A

-piece of dead bone tissue occurring within a diseased or injured bone, typically in chronic osteomyelitis. -the marrow and adipose tissue has been eaten by bacteria

32
Q

progression of infection from medullary cavity of bone to joint cavity

A
  • Bacteria and inflammation spread longitudinally and percolate throughout the Haversian systems to reach the periosteum.
33
Q

progression of infection from medullary cavity of bone to joint cavity in infant

A

epiphyseal infection spreads through the articular surface or along capsular and tendoligamentous insertions into a joint

34
Q

Different routes bacteria can take to infect bone

A

(1) hematogenous spread, (2) extension from a contiguous site, and (3) direct implantation.

35
Q

How bacteria is introduced to bone in children vs adult

A

-Adults: occurs as a complication of open fractures, surgical procedures, and diabetic infections of the feet. -Children: hematogenous in origin

36
Q

Different bacterias in osteomyelitis -most common -UTI/IV drug users -neonate -sickle cell disease

A

-Staphylococcus aureus - E.coli - Haemophilus influenzae and group B streptococci -Salmonella

37
Q

Cells responsible for Pagets disease

A

-osteoclasts

38
Q

How does bone resorption occur with Pagets?

A

mutation increases the activity of NF-κB, which increases osteoclast activity

39
Q

3 phases of Paget disease evolution

A

1: osteolytic stage- break down of bone, lots of OC 2: mixed osteoclastic-osteoblastic stage, which ends with a predominance of osteoblastic activity 3: burned-out quiescent osteosclerotic stage (increased bone density)

40
Q

What causes decrease in trabeculae?

A

Osteoporosis

41
Q

How does menopause lead to formation of osteoporosis?

A

-decrease in estrogen causes increase in resorption and formation BUT formation cannot keep up with resorption

42
Q

Decrease in estrogen at cellular level

A

-decreased estrogen leads to increase secretion of inflammatory cytokines by monocytes and bone marrow cells which 1) stimulate osteoclast recruitment and activity by increasing the levels of RANKL, 2) diminishing the expression of OPG, 3)decreasing osteoclast proliferation and preventing osteoclast apoptosis.

43
Q

Achondroplasia -cause

A

-gain-of-function mutations in the FGF receptor 3 (FGFR3). -Constitutive activation of FGFR3 exaggerates the inhibition of endochondral growth, suppressing growth.

44
Q

How does achondroplasia affect patients phenotype?

A

by preventing bones formed through endochondral ossification from being able to grow in length causing the patient to have shortened proximal extremities, a trunk of relatively normal length, and an enlarged head with bulging forehead and conspicuous depression of the root of the nose.

45
Q

Osteogenesis imperfecta -other name -cause

A

-brittle bone disease - caused by deficiencies in the synthesis of type I collagen due to autosomal dominant mutation of genes that encode α1 and α2 chains of type I collagen.

46
Q

How do different mutations of same gene cause variability in disease severity?

A

-based on the location of the mutation within the protein. -Mutations resulting in decreased synthesis of qualitatively normal collagen are associated with mild skeletal abnormalities while severe or lethal phenotypes have abnormal polypeptide chains that cannot be arranged in a triple helix

47
Q

Cause of osteopetrosis

A

interfere with the process of acidification of the osteoclast resorption pit, which is required for the dissolution of the calcium hydroxyapatite within the matrix.

48
Q

Clinical consequence for patients with osteopetrosis

A

cranial nerve deficits
