Osteoarthritis
Joint stiffness last for hold long upon awakening with OA? with RA?
OA = <1hr
RA = >1hr
Joint stiffness after inactivity is indicative of which type of arthritis?
Osteoarthritis
Which joints are commonly affected by RA?
PIPs and MCPs
Erosion of cartilage and subchondral bone (black spots) with tenderness in all "active" joints in characteristic of which arthritis?
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Increased ESR or CRP indicates which type of arthritis?
rheumatoid arthritis
What are the HLA markers for RA?
HLA-DR4, HLA-Dw4 or HLA-Dw14
Out of 7 criteria for RA how many must be present in order to diagnose it?
4 out of 7
What is the alternative name for JRA?
Still's Disease
which HLA is (+) in psoriatic arthritis?
HLA-B27
This bone disorder is d/t disorder of collagen synthesis, increased FX, and blue hin sclera?
Osteogenesis imperfecta
"rugger jersey" vertebrae, increased density and abnormal skeletal modeling with very brittle bones is what disorder?
osteopetrosis
what is the inheritance pattern of achondroplasia?
Autosomal Dominant
Defective cartilage synthesis and resultant decreased epiphysis formation is what disorder?
achondroplasia
This disorder may be secondary to trauma at the head of the femur, the tibial tuberosity, or the scaphoid bone?
Aseptic necrosis
aseptic necrosis of the tibial tuberosity?
osgood-schlatter disease
aseptic necrosis of femoral head in children w/o a trauma hx?
legg-calve-perthes disease
This AD disorder is a type of dwarfism, producing hsort limbs w/ a normal sized head and trunk?
achondroplasia
Thinned cortical bone and enlarged medullary cavity, resultin gin fragile bones that easily fx with falls is characteristic of what ?
osteoporosis
Caucasians, petite or "small-boned" individuals, and women are at risk for developing what?
Osteoporosis
What are the 5 etiologies likely to cause osteoporosis?
1) estrogen deficient state
2) physical inactivity/bedridden
3) hypercortisolism
4) hyperthyroidism
5) SUBCLINICAL Ca deficiency
What is the #1 cause of hip fractures?
Osteoporosis
Do patients with Osteoporosis have low serum Calcium?
NO
Patients with osteoporosis often suffer from compression fractures of the vertebrae resulting in what?
KYPHOSIS
What cells break down bone?
osteoclasts
What cells build up bone?
osteoblasts
What are the 3 types of primary osteoporosis?
1) idiopathic
2) Type I ("postmenopausal")
3) Type II ("Involutional")
Type I osteoporosis primarily affects whom?
Women within 15 years of menopause
Type II osteoporosis primarily affects whom?
MEN and WOMEN 70 years old or older (d/t lethargic osteoblasts)
What are the causes of secondary osteoporosis?
All other cases; such as immobility, Cushing's, ovariectomy, etc.
What is the current DOC for prevention in osteopenic pts and TX of diagnosed osteoporosis?
Bisphosphonates
What other treatment options are there for osteoporosis aside from bisphosphonates? (4)
physical activity
calcium w/ vit D (1000-1500mg/day)
HRT - not preferred
calcitonin
What is the optimal dose of calcium per day?
1000-1500 mg
How does calcitonin work?
made by parafollicular C cells of the thyroid and will initially deposit Ca on bone
What is the cause of osteomalacia?
It is due to inadequate bone mineralization
When osteomalacia is caused by Vit D deficiency in children?
Rickets
what are the serum findings in osteomalacia? (3)
low Ca, low phosphate and high alkaline phosphatase
What are the 6 causes of osteomalacia?
Vit D def
severe liver disease
anticonvulsant drugs
renal osteodystrophy
fanconi syndrome
malnutrition/malabsorption
how does Vit D become activated?
Vit D converted to 25-hydroxyvit. D3 in the LIVER then that is converted to 1,25-dihydroxyvit. D3 in the KIDNEY and that is the ACTIVE form
What is the ACTIVE form of Vit D?
1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
How can anticonvulsant drugs result in osteomalacia?
if used for a long period of time they can alter the liver's ability to metabolize Vit D to it's active form
What is renal osteodystrophy?
this occurs in patients with severe kidney disease/CRF; because the kidney can't convert 25-hydroxyvit to the active form of Vit D
What happens in Fanconi syndrome?
the PCT of the renal tubule is destroyed, causing the loss of phosphate and calcium
What is the "classic" cause of Fanconi syndrome?
ingestion of out dated tetracyclines
The focal bony damage caused by severe hyperparathyroidism; along with a brown "tumor" ?
osteitis fibrosa cystica
increased, uncontrolled bone turnover resulting in thickened bones and high-output cardiac failure with extremely high alk phos
Paget's Disease
What two diseases have extremely high alk phos?
hepatocellular carcinoma and Paget's Disease
What are the benign cartilage tumors? (3)
osteochondroma
enchondroma
chondroblastoma
a benign tumor containing both bone and cartilage, and is the most common benign bone tumor?
osteochondroma
This malignant cartilage tumor occurs in spine and pelvic bones?
chondrosarcoma
PAINFUL benign bone tumor that occurs esp. in the extremities?
Osteoid osteoma
PAINLESS benign bone tumor that occurs primarily in the skull and facial bones?
Osteoma
This malignant primary bone cancer can occur in any bone and the 1st symptom may be a pathologic FX, it may also form a Codman's triangle ?
Osteosarcoma
Osteosarcoma is most common in what age(s)?
bimodal peaks: most common <20 or the elderly
This painful malignant tumor usually occurs in the diaphyses of long bones and the flat bones of the pelvis. It may often be mistaken for infection.
