Q

MEDICAL MANAGEMENT SLIDE: STUDY

A
23
Q

Osteomalacia is what?

A

Soft bone (lack of mineralization without loss of bone matrix)
Due to lack of calcium, vitamin D, phosphate

*known as adult rickets

24
Q

What is paget disease?

A

Increased bone resorption (by osteoclasts)
Excessive, unorganized new bone formation (by osteoblasts)

Normal bone marrow replaced by vascular and fibrous tissue

25
Q

What is the second most common metabolic bone disease?

A

Osteitis deformans/pagets disease
(Big bones that are weak)

26
Q

What is developmental dysplasia of the hip?

A

A genetic/developmental disorder
Affects infants/kids
*developmental hip disorder happening DYNAMICALLY in utero and 1st year of life

27
Q

Developmental dysplasia of the hip can be

A

Unilateral
Bilateral
Occur in 3 forms of varying severity

28
Q
  1. Unstable hip dysplasia is what?
A

Hip positioned normally, can be dislocated with manipulation

29
Q

Subluxation or incomplete dislocation DDH is what?

A

Femoral head is in contact with acetabulum, but head of femur is partially displaced/uncovered

30
Q

complete dislocation in DDH is what?

A

Femoral head is totally outside acetabulum

31
Q

What does DDH look like in newborns-1 year old

A

Ortolani/Barlow signs
Positive Galeazzie sign in asymmetric cases

Physical asymmetry in ROM (as limitation of hip abduction)
Asymmetry in butt fold (higher on affected side)
Extra skin folds
Leg length discrepancy

32
Q

In ambulating kids, what does DDH look like?

A

Bilateral dysplasia-compensated trendelenburg
(Lean to weight bearing side, compensate for weak glute med)

33
Q

Osteogenesis imperfecta is what?

A

Brittle bone disease
Generalized connective tissue disorder: skeletal fragility
Growth deficiency

(Growth retardation, long bone and spinal deformities)

34
Q

Osteogenesis imperfecta may be evident at birth in severe forms because

A

fractures/deformities in utero (long bone and spinal deformities)

35
Q

when do less severe forms of OI become evident?

A

when child begins to walk and fractures happen

36
Q

what is common in children with osteogenesis imperfecta?

A

short stature (abnorm epiphysial growth plates, deformity after fx, osteoporosis, vertebral collapse)

37
Q

what are other clinical features of OI?

A

LE more than UE
bruise easily
lax ligmanets
thin skin
hypermobility
hearing impairments
scoliosis
deformed teeth and pectus
cardiovascular complications

38
Q

What is osteomyelitis caused by?

A

inflammation of bone by infectious organism (bacteria, also fungi, parasites, viruses)

39
Q

what areas are most affected with osteomyelitis?

A

arms, legs, spine, pelvis

40
Q

acute osteomyelitis is usually seen in

A

children, older adults, IV drug abusers
(new infection, rapid destructive pyogenic infection through open wound or GI…leads to speticemia/septic infectious joint)

41
Q

subacute/chronic osteomyelitis is usually seen in

A

adults secondary to open injury to bone/soft tissue around it

42
Q

chronic osteomyelitis is result from

A

persistent bone infection or acute disease undiagnosed

43
Q

what is the primary cause of prosthetic failure?

A

Implant infection (acutely in 1st month post op or months/years after)

44
Q

nearly 80% of prosthetic infections are due to what bacteria?

A

staphylococcus

45
Q

______ infections occur around the time of surgery and are probably caused by contaminated instruments at the surgical site

A

perioperative infections

46
Q

hematogenous infections are due to

A

primary infection elsewhere in body

47
Q

continguous infections occur secondary to

A

nearby infections

48
Q

Other types of prostheses or implants susceptible to infection include

A

internal fixation of the spine, breast implants, penile implants, dental implants, cardiac implants, other orthopedic devices and hardware, shunts, and even contact lenses.

49
Q

what may be the only symptom of prosthetic/implant infection?
