Q

What is achondroplasia

A
  • Dwarfism
  • Autosomal dominant abnormality/spontaneous chromosomal defect
  • Limbs are shorter disappropriate to trunk (1/2 of normal length)
  • Failure of longitudinal growth in cartilage of epiphyseal plate
  • Normal cognition and normal life expectancy
  • Total height typically under 4 feet
  • may lead to spinal stenosis

Q

Marfan’s Syndrome is

A
  • Autosomal dominant abnormality / spontaneous chromosomal defect
  • Excessive length of limbs due to excessive longitudinal growth in cartilage of epiphyseal plate - arm span greater than height
  • Systemic –affects vision and CV system

Q

What is osteopetrosis

A

Failure of osteoclasts to remove mineralized bone

Bone “piles up” Bone appear dense on X ray

Mechanically weak → fracture easily

Bone marrow displaced → anemia

Q

Explain the malignant infantile form of osteopetrosis

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Recessive gene
  • Typically fatal by 10-years-old
  • Can be treated with bone marrow transplant
24
Q

Explain the benign form of osteopetrosis

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Autosomal dominant

* Symptoms can include fractures, frequent infections, blindness, deafness, and strokes

25
Generalized disorders of epiphyses & epiphyseal growth
- marfan syndrome | - achondroplasia
26
Localized disorders of epiphyses & epiphyseal growth
* Osteochondroses * Partial avulsions * Disorders of growth plate (SCFE most common)
27
Osteochondroses is and general features
- Idiopathic disorders of the epiphyses with common denominator of avascular necrosis - Affects Boys > girls - Ages 3 - 10years - self limiting - has Four phases
28
Phase 1 of Osteochondrosis
* Quiet Phase * Obliteration of blood vessels to epiphysis --> decreased blood flow * No real symptoms, no real deformity
29
Phase 2 of Osteochondrosis
* Revascularization with deposition / resorption * Pathologic fracture of subchondral bone * Epiphysis may become deformed with abnormal forces
30
Phase 3 of Osteochondrosis
* Bone healing | * Bone deposition continues
31
Phase 4 of Osteochondrosis
Residual deformity persists
32
Name 3 Specific Conditions of Osteochondroses and which bones they affect
-Legg Perthes disease (femoral head, 12% of cases bilateral) -Panner disease (Capitulum) -Kienbock disease (Lunate)
33
*Legg Calve Perthes disease
- Pain can be at the hip and can refer to the knee - flattened femoral head - femur is not in the correct position - loss of abduction noted
34
What is a possible reason that a partial avulsion might happen and why?
-rapid growth spurt because wolff's law hasn't had time to make the bone strong
35
Name two types of partial avulsions
- osgood schlatter disease | - sever disease
36
Osgood schlatter disease, where does it happen and who is at risk
Tibial tubercle | Boys typically 10-15 years old
37
Sever disease, where does it happen and who is at risk
Calcaneal tubercle | Boys typically 8-15 yrs old
38
What is the most common disorder of the growth plate
SCFE
39
What does SCFE stand for
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis
40
What are the general characteristics of SCFE
- Boys > girls - ≥ 9 years old - 30% chance of subsequent involvement of second hip --Higher risk if endocrine imbalance - --> Adolescent male with underdeveloped genitalia and female fat distribution most at risk
41
Does SCFE have a systemic component
*yes, someone is at a higher risk if they have an endocrine imbalance
42
*Which condition affects abduction
Legg Calve Perthes disease
43
*Which condition affects internal rotaton
SCFE
44
How would someone present with slipped capital femoral epiphysis
- Loss of IR - involved leg appears shorter - Requires surgery
45
Name metabolic bone conditions (5)
- Rickets/Osteomalacia - Osteoporosis - Hypopituitarism - Hyperpituitarism - Paget Disease
46
what is rickets/osteomalacia
- Rickets is a disease of children (growing bone), where as osteomalacia is an adult disease (after physis closed) - Both result in “soft bones” - Failure of calcium salts to deposit normally - Main causes include vitamin D deficiency, chronic renal insufficiency, and renal tubular insufficiency
47
*What can a deficiency in vitamin D cause
rickets / osteomalacia
48
What is the female-athlete triad and what is the other name for this
eating disorder, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis now called REDS REDS
49
What are common fracture sites for osteoporosis
vertebra hip wrist
50
What is the most common metabolic bone disease
osteoporosis
51
Someone with hyperpituitarism may develop
May develop arthritis, osteophytes, spine pain, etc.
52
Acromegaly affects and what is the age of onset
* Increase bone thickness affecting face, jaw, hands, feet * Typically ages 30-50 years old
53
what is the second most common metabolic disease
paget disease
54
What is paget disease
- Progressive disorder - Excessive bone resorption and formation - High bone turnover with little structural stability - Adult disease equally affecting men and women -Systemic disease
55
Paget disease Musculoskeletal manifestations
``` Pain Fractures Arthritis Stiffness Deformaities ```
