Question

Radial Nerve

Answer 1

- Runs in the radial groove with the deep brachial artery - Fracture of the midshaft of the humerus - Dislocation of the radius - Saturday night palsy with compression in the axilla - Controls Triceps, brachioradialis, supinator, wrist extensors - Also sensory to the back of the hand

Answer 2

- Supracondylar fracture - Compression through pronator teres - Compression in carpal tunnel - Controls muscles flexion of muscles on the lateral aspect of the hand including the thumb - Controls sensation on the palmar aspect of the lateral hand - Also runs in interosseus nerve

Answer 3

- Branch post carpal tunnel that controls thumb movements | - Damage by superficial laceration

Answer 4

- Muscles on the medial hand (C8, T1) and sensation on the palmar and dorsal medial hand - Damage with hook of hamate - Fracture of medial epicondyle - Also will get radial deviation on wrist flexion

Answer 5

Damage to upper trunk C5-6 - Childbirth or from rapid pushing of head to other side - Causes waiters tip (damage to rotator cuff and some biceps)

Answer 6

- Damage to lower trunk - From reaching or outstrectched arm - Total claw hand with damage to all intrinsic hand muscles

Answer 7

-Controls muscles of the medial thigh and causes adduction L2-L4

Answer 8

-L2-4 controls thigh flexion and leg extension (quads)

Answer 9

Commonly injured because of superficial location on the lateral aspect of the leg (Near the fibula) - Causes an inabilty to dorsiflex and evert the foot leading to foot slap and foot drop - Loss of sensation from dorsum of foot

Answer 10

- Damaged with knee trauma - Causes loss of plantar flexion and inversion - Loss of sensation over sole of foot

Answer 11

- Controls the gluteus minimus and medius which raise the hip - Positive trendelenberg sign, contralateral hip drops when standing on one leg

Answer 12

Gluteus maxiums | -Can't jump, run, raise from a chair

Answer 13

- Occurs in appendicular and axial skeleton - Cartilagenous frame laid by chondrocytes, replaced by woven bone by clasts and blasts and finally remodeled into lamellar bone - Woven bone seen in fractures and Pagets disease

Answer 14

- Occurs in facial bones and calvarium | - No cartillage structure, blasts and clasts lay down woven bone directly

Answer 15

- Mesenchymal origin - Build bone with collagen and ossification - Secrete ALKP to keep alkaline environment for ossification

Answer 16

- Monocyte lineage, contain RANK-R that respond to RANK-L on blasts - Secrete acids and collagenases - TARP is a marker

Answer 17

- Increases RANKL expression on blasts and increase clast activity to resorb bone. - When Ca is present low level PTH will maintain bone remodelling, but when calcium is deficient elevted PTH leads to Ca extraction

Answer 18

- Causes apoptosis of clasts and maintains blasts | - Menopause leads to reversal of effect and causes osteoporosis

Answer 19

- AD activating mutation in FGFR3 leading to impaired chondrocyte proliferation. Associated with advanced paternal age - Causes impaired endochondral ossification because of improper cartilalge skeleton - Epiphysis will be disorganized - Shortened limbs and long bones with normal intramembraneous ossification. Normal Head, chest, wrist, etc - Normal fertility and other functions.

Answer 20

- Loss of trabechular bone with porous appearnace on X Ray - Does not have unmineralized osteoid like osteomalacia because the fundamental problem is an aging/estrogen induced decrease in blast function and decrease in clast function - All labs will be normal - Estrogen normally helps to activate blasts and inhibit clasts (IL-1,6, osteoprotegrin) Loss at menopause shifts balance - Senile occurs in men and women equally and comes from falling off after peak bone density is reached at the age of 30 or so. - Can be aided with exercise, proper diet including vitamin D, and vitamin D Receptor polymorphisms - Tx: Raloxifen/HRT, Bisphosphenates which cause apoptosis in clasts, vitamin D, Ca, Diet - Symptoms include femoral, hip fracuters and vertebral fractures. - Pulsatile PTH can keep blasts functiononing in the face of adequate calcium - Gluococorticoids are contraindicated

Answer 21

-Contraindicated in osteoporosis

Answer 22

- Impaired osteoclast function most commonly due to mutation in carbonic anhydrase 2. Leads to inability to acidify the local environment and resorb bone - Increased deposition leads to thickened hypermineralized bone that is prone to fracture - Extra bone can also compress nerves leading to carpal tunnel or deafness - Labs will show a decrease in Ca and increase in ALP - Bone marrow would be currative because clasts are from monocyte lineage

Answer 23

-RTA can be seen with osteopetrosis because of CA mutation leading to impaired acid secreition and bicarb resporption in PCT (type 1)

Answer 24

-Myelpphthesis can cause pancytopenia and EMH

Answer 25

- Low vitamin D levels leads to a reduction in Ca and P in the blood leading to decreased bone mineralization - Will stimulate PTH to increase blast activity leading to increase in ALP - Prolieration and hypeactivity of blasts leads to the classic unmineralized osteoid proliferation - Rickets, kids: Osteoid commonly seen at ribs (rossettes) and forehead. Bowing legs

Answer 26

- Etiology unnown, possibly viral. Focal (Not sytemic) increase in clast activity that is opposed by blast activity leads to increase deposition of woven bone and weak mosaic pattern. - Clasts will burn out and blasts will continue leading to increasing deposition. Commonly in skull with increased head size or wrist for carpal tunel - Labs: Everything is normal except for an isolated increase ALP because of increase osteoid and mineralization. - Can lead to osteosarcoma of the adult - Can also create AV shunts that leads to high output cardiac failure.

Answer 27

- Lack of response to GH | - WIll be shortened in all bones

Answer 28

- Increase in PTH signalling leads to increased bone resportion - WIll be replaced by fibroblasts and will appear as radiolucent portions in bone that is surrounded by normal or sclerotic bone - Can also be seen in mccune albright - Tx: Bisphosphenates can impede resportion

Answer 29

- Defect in regulation of Gs signalling leading to increase cAMP and overactivity - Post zygotic mutation, so patients demonstrate mosacism - Causes Shortened digits and PTH hyperresponsiveness - Short stature, Polyositis FIbrosa Cystica - Also causes precocious puberty and cafe-au-lait spots

Answer 43

- Systemic autoimmune disese most characterizd by joint inflammation - RF is IgM to Fc protion of IgG and can correlate with disease severity but not dx. Not all RA have, and many other non RA disease do - Use Citrullinated peptide to diagnose - Highly associated with HLA-DR4 (MHC2) - Inflammation of synovium and increase in lymphocytes and macrophages in joints - Eventually panes of granulation tissue and fibroblasts form - Pannes cause akylosis of joints and myofibroblast traction and deviation - Involves the PIP and MP but not the DIP joints, also stiff in morning gets better with use.

Answer 46

- Cause by deposition of monosodium urate crystals in joints. - MSU crystals cause neutrophilic activiation and episodes of acute gout - MSU deposits because of elevated uric acid levels caused by increased production or decreased excretion - Production from diet (AMP, GMP in meats) also from leukemia and increased cell turnover - More commonly from impaired excretion. Excreted via anion transporter in kidney. - Competes with lactate (Von GIerke disease), Alchohol - Thiazides and loop diuretics also increase risk of gout attack - Produced from purine pathway via xanthine oxidase - Tx: Colchicine, NSAIDS - Chronic can use allopurinol inhibits xanthine oxidase - Probenacid can increase secretion, uricase analogs can break it down
