Question
Answer
What is the most common type of arthropathy   Osteoathritis  
🗑
Is OA typically inflammatory or non-inflammatory   Non- Inflammatory  
🗑
Does the pahtophysiology of OA vary depending on the joint type involved   no it is the same regardless of joint involved  
🗑
What is OA   progressive deterioration and loss of articular cartilage leading to loss of normal joint strucutre and function  
🗑
What is the primary etiology of OA   aging or idiopathic there cand be gentic such as Nodal OA  
🗑
What is secondary OA   OA caused by disorders that damage joint surface  
🗑
What are the pathological characterisitcs of OA   Altered chondrocyte function, loss of cartilage (thinning), subchondral bone thickening (sclerosis), Remodeling of bone, marginal spurs (osteophytes), cystic changes in subchondral bone and mild reactive synovitis  
🗑
What are some systemic risk factors for OA   age, obesity, gentics, gender, menopause(?)  
🗑
What are some local factors that can influence risk of OA   Muscle strenght, joint proprioception, repetitive use, configuration of joint, trauma  
🗑
What are the common locations for OA   cervical spine, lumbar spine, 1st cmc (carpometacarpophalangeal), PIP, DIP, Hip, Knee, 1st MTP (metatarsophalangeal)  
🗑
What are some uncommon locations for OA   SHoulder, Thoracic Spine, Elbow, Wrist, MCP (metacarpophalangeal), Ankle, Subtalar  
🗑
What are the 7 subsets of OA   Generalized OA, Nodal OA, Spondylosis, Erosive OA, Inflammatory OA, Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), Chondromalacia patellae  
🗑
Where are heberden's nodes found   DIP  
🗑
Where are bouchards nodes found   PIP  
🗑
Where is the most common location to find nodes in OA   Knees 3 compartments med/lat/pat-fem  
🗑
What are the common symptoms of OA   insidious onset of joint pain w/ movement, limitation of motion, referred pain, minimal stiffness after rest, (systemic symptoms are rare)- acute flares of these symptoms suggest another dx  
🗑
Why do you get pain in OA if the cartilage is avascualr and aneuritic   could cause synovitis, joint capsule/ligament stretchin, periosteal irritation from osteophytes, travecular microfractures, muscle spasm, intraosseous hypertension  
🗑
What physical exam findings would you expect to find in an OA patient   Bondy changes in joint shape, crepitus, malalignement/instability, limited ROM, join line tenderness, cool effusions, spasm or atrophy of adjacent muscle  
🗑
What lab tests are indicative of OA   non really but ESR and RF appropriate for age and synovial fluid shiould be class 1 (non-inflammatory)  
🗑
What x-ray findings are indicative of OA   cartilage loss/joint space narrowing, subchondral sclerosis, osteophytes at joint margins, subchondral cysts  
🗑
What is Genu Varus   bowleg  
🗑
This type of OA is marked by exuberant osteophytosis of the spine spanning 3-4 vertebral segments with preservation of disc spaces. Ligament calcification is noted.   Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH)  
🗑
Who is more affected with DISH diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis   M>F  
🗑
What other pathology is diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) associated with   Diabetes Mellitus  
🗑
A person with dish may develop anterior cervical osteophytes what may that cause them to have   dysphagia  
🗑
What are some of the ways to manage a pt with OA   education, weight reduction, nutriceuticals, topical agents, analgesics, NSAIDs, phyical therpay, occupational therapy, surgery, conditioning, Intra-articular steroids, Viscosupplementation, SMOADS (systemic modulating osteoarthritic drugs)  
🗑
What are SMOADS (systemic modulating osteoarthritic drugs) in management of OA   MMPI, Residronate, Doxycycline, Glucosamine, Chondroitin  
🗑
How is capsaicin work in tx of OA   it is a topical agent that can be rubbed on the joint it causes a rxn that with time will cause a person to exhaust their supply of substance P which without they don't have pain.  
🗑
What is the primary analgesic in management of OA   acetaminophen (3g maximum per day) easily overdosed on  
🗑
What is the definitive tx for OA   Surgery  
🗑
What are the tx goals for OA   pain control, improve function, enhance health related quality of life, avoid Rx related side effects. Sadly there is not cure  
🗑
What are the essential to dx of OA   degenerative disorder w/o systemic manifestations, pain relived by rest, morning stiffness, articular inflammation is minimal, x-ray finding of joint space narrowing, osteophytes, increased subchondral bone, bone cysts  
🗑
