Joint Disorders Flashcards
A process of rapid cartilage degeneration resulting in narrowing of the joint space and loss of motion
Chondrolysis
Chondrolysis degeneration is associated with ______, ______, ______.
- infection
- trauma (orthopedic procedures like arthroscopic meniscectomy, shoulder arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction)
- prolonged immobilization
What is a common hip occurrence associated with Chondrolysis? What population is more commonly affected?
SCFE (slipped capital femoral epiphysis)
females in adolescence (onset of menses)
What demonstrates as progressive joint stiffness with progressive loss of motion and pain?
Chondrolysis
Chondrolysis has a ______ etiology and an unclear pathogenesis
unknown
in chondrolysis, what is one cause for apparent leg-length discrepancy?
soft tissue contracture
treatment for chondrolysis includes what 3 things?
- NSAIDs (inflammation)
- Protected Weight Bearing and maintenance of joint motion
- surgery
____ is a degenerative joint disease, slow evolving, originates in the cartilage, and affects the bone, soft tissues, and synovial fluid
OA
cause of primary OA?
secondary?
unknown
trauma, infection, hemarthrosis, osteonecrosis
whats the most common joint disease? percent of men? women?
OA
60% M and 70% FE after age 65
T or F: the development of OA is a risk factor for also developing cardiovascular disease
true
T or F: numerous genotypes have been ID and determined the progression of OA
F phenotypes
T or F: tearing ligaments or menisci, or femoroacetabular impingement is a risk factor for OA
T
participating in sports, having _____ joint syndrome, or being in occupations of high joint stress are all risk factors of OA along with certain phenotypes and muscle weakness.
hypermobility
inflammatory and procatabolic mediators affect the chondrocytes in the _____ _____ creating hypertrophic differentiation and _________________.
