Q

pt presenting with gradual onset of dull plantar foot pain and fever/chills 1 week ago. Ankle shows tenderness, warmth, erythema and swelling. what labs/imaging would you order in this patient? if imaging/labs are positive what would you see and what would be your next step?

A

suspected dx: osteomyelitis
labs: blood cultures (+), CBC (^WBC), ESR (^), CRP (^), BMP (just to assess renal/liver prior to meds)
Imaging: jump straight to MRI/CT d/t onset being <2 weeks and it being in the foot.

next step: consult ID/Ortho.

if + for staph start cefazolin, nafcillin or oxacillin (vanc for MRSA or PCN allergy) for 2 weeks followed by 4-6 wks of levo/cipro + rifampin

(slides say typically only use abx in long bone infections but i guess you could give abx)

Q

Pt presents with 6 wk hx of localized pain over her lumbar area. pain is increased with percussion to the area. she has also been complaining of headaches and suffered a seizure en route to the hospital. what is your suspected dx? what imaging would you get in this patient?

A

osteomyelitis w vertebral involvement

remember neuro s/s can be seen in 1/3 of pts!

if you see neuro s/s you can jump straight to MRI/CT!

17
Q

MC in sternum, mandible and feet

A

chronic osteomyelitis

18
Q

what physical exam and lab findings may differentiate chronic and acute osteomyelitis

A

fever is NOT usually present in chronic.
chronic may have a draining sinus tract.
chronic - ESR/CRP and WBC are not elevated usually

chronic is developed over months to years!!

19
Q

when the epithelium of an osteomyelitis sinus tract develops squamous cell carcinoma it is known as what

A

marjolin ulcer

20
Q

in compartment syndrome, how long before myocytes die and we develope contractures

A

12 hours

develope neuropathy after 8 hours

21
Q

after a suspected fracture of her tibia, a patient begins having increased pain out of proportion to her pain 20 minutes ago. on exam her skin is tense to palpation over the injury and she reports she is starting to experience deceased sensation and paresthesias. what is the diagnostic of choice in this pt and, if positive, what is the tx

A

dx: compartment syndrome
diagnostic: two separate pressure readings withiin 5cm of the site. if over 45 mmHg its positive
tx: elevate limb. remove restrictive dressings. consult if sugrical fasciotomy is needed. admit!

22
Q

pt presents with myalgias, weakness, and a low grade fever. she reports swelling and tenderness of her left lower extremity. she also has dark colored urine.
what lab findings would you see in this patient?

A

rhabdomyolysis
labs:

23
Q

treat with aggressive IVF for 72 hours with a goal of 200-300 mL/hr of urine output.

when would you use bicarb in this patient? when would you be concerned about hypocalcemia?

A

this is rhabdomyolysis.

use bicarb to alkalize urine only if:
CK levels are higher than 5,000
acidemia
dehydration
underlying renal disease

only treat hypocalcemia if hyperkalemia is present!

24
Q

complications can include compartment syndrome, DIC and AKI

A

rhabdomyolysis

25
Q

widespread soft tissue tenderness with chronic fatigue and generalized aching pain. often with associated depression. no joint involvement

A

fibromyalgia

26
Q

when do you treat with neurontin or lyrica

A

fibromyalgia with severe sleep disturbance

27
Q

when do you treat with cymbalta/savella

A

fibromyalgia patients with severe fatigue

28
Q

initial tx for this dz is cyclobenzaprine or amitriptyline at bedtime

A

fibromyalgia

29
Q

Condition characterized by progressive destruction of bone and soft issues at weight bearing joints

30
Q

A

31
Q

pt presents and reports pain that is a 2/10 of her right foot onset 2 weeks ago after stumbling and stepping on a rock. on exam you see unilateral warmth, redness and edema over the dorsal and plantar aspects of the foot. she reports the pain is low severeity but constant. she has a hx of DM, alcoholism and syphilis. what could the diagnosis be and how would it present if it is not treated.

A

neurogenic arthropathy.

could see bony protrusions of the plantar foot and loss of arch leading to charcots foot.

32
Q

A

neurogenic arthropathy ( probs to assess the arch of the foot)

33
Q

A

stage 1 developement

swelling/redness/warmth from stage 0 will persist throughout stage 1 as well

34
Q

what stage of neurogenic arthropathy do clinical inflammatory signs begin to decrease and fractures and bony debris begin to heal with new bone formation

A

stage 2 coalescence

35
Q

what stage of neurogenic arthropathy do you see stable or unstable bony deformity but no signs of inflammation. xray may show fracture callus and decreased sclerosis

A

stage 3 remodeling

36
Q

when do you use a charcot restraint orthotic walker?

A

stage 0-2 neurogenic arthropathy treatment in addition to avoiding weight bearing.

for stage 3 discuss surgery

37
Q

MC in males > 40 and in those with rheumatologic conditions. can also be seen d/t frostbite or jackhammer use

A

secondary raynauds (Increased risk of gangrene and ulceration compared to primary)

38
Q

when do you use amlodipine as first line and nitro or PDE5 inhibitors as second line? what do you do if all of these fail

A

raynauds phenomenon

refer to vascular surgery if they dont work

39
Q

what heart conditions are assocaited with marfans

A

MVP
aortic root dilation leading to aortic regurgitiation or dissection

A

myopia (near sighted)
ecotopia lentis (eye lens displacement)
retinal detatchement

Q

what is the gene for marfans

A

fibrillin gene FBN1 on chromosome 15

42
Q

what is the ghent criteria used for

A

marfans syndrome

43
Q

Long term BB is used in management for what disease. What other management guidlines are there
