Edema Case Studies

• Inflammation occur.
• Pain and swelling of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and the proximal interphalangeal (PIP).
• Edema, which is the cumulative of fluid, occur in the synovium due to the underlying inflammation of the synovium.
• The joint spaces between the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) will be narrowing and the soft tissues will be swelling due to the joint effusion, synovitis and the edema.
• The dominant hand will usually resulting more joint destruction.
• Patient will also suffering for tendon ruptures due to the rubbing against eroded bone.

• Inflammation occur.
• Pain, swelling and limited range of motion is the result of the inflammation.
• Swelling and rope-like thickening occurs at the extensor …show more content…
• The weakening of the ligamentious structure of metatarsophalangeal (MTP) leads to the unstabilization.
• The development of bunion at themedial head of the metatarsal will occur.
• The erosion of bone will have the valgus flat foot deformity as it result.
• Occurrence of proliferation and effusion of the synovial.
• The flexion of the knee is limited due to the knee joint effusion.
• The palpation of synovial hypotherapy can be done and the effusion can been discovered by the patella tap or the bulge sign.
• Inflammation on the knee joint will causes progressive cartilage damage and muscle atrophy which leads to weakness and difficulty to walk.
• Narrowing of medial and lateral knee compartments also happen.
• The increase in the synovial fluid leads to the damage of articular structures and will push posteriorly causes the outpouching of the synovial capsule.
• Stiffness and limited range of motion will happen.
• The femoral head and neck will suffer the erosion which leads to the narrowing of joint space.
• If the inflammation and the erosion continues, the femoral head and neck will erode into and protrude medially through
