Q

XR findings for a patient with RA

A
  • Periarticular erosions: synovitis erodes bone causing the formation of cysts
  • Periarticular osteopenia: loss of bone density occurs as a result of disuse due to pain and secondary effects of steroids
  • Soft-tissue swelling: subtle widening of the joint space may be seen when synovitis is mild. Severe synovitis is seen as gross swelling around the joints
  • Joint subluxation and malalignment: as ligaments become dysfunctional and joint sublux and can even dislocate. This gives rise to the classic deformities hands/feet

Q

When would an XR vs a CT vs a MRI vs USS be indicated in orthopaedics? [4]

A
  • XR: arthritis, fractures, chest
  • CT: complex fractures [spine, tibial, platuea, pilon, pelvis]

Q

What is the most common cause of OM/septic arthritis in children? [2]

A

Acute haematogenous osteomyelitis:

  • organisms escape from vessels in the physis where blood flow is slowest. An abscess occurs in the metaphysis
  • pus ascapes under adjacent periosteum, elevation of the periosteum can be seen XR
  • in children, hip/ankle/wrist and shoulder have intra-articular physis allowing organisms to enter the joint and cause septic arthritis
