GENERAL AGE OF ONSET OF ARTHRITIS
|0-20 yrs |20-40 yrs |>40 yrs |
|Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthristis (sero + |Ankylosing Spondylitis |DJD |
|or -) |Osteitis condensans ilii |DISH |
|(Juvenile Chronic Arthritis) |Lupus erythematosus |Gout |
| |Psoritatic Arthritis |Hypertorphic osteoarthropathy |
| |Scleroderma |CPPD |
| |Synoviochondrometaplasia | |
ARTHROPATHIES ASSOCIATED WITH A PREDICATION FOR A DISTINCT GENDER
|MALE |FEMALE |
|Ankylosing Spondylitis |Juvenile RA |
|Gout |Lupus Erythematosus |
|Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy |Osteitis condensans ilii |
|Reiter’s syndrome |Primary Osteoarthritis |
|Secondary osteoarthritis |RA |
| |Scleroderma |
ANATOMICAL CLASSIFICAITON OF JOINTS
| |FIBROUS |CARTILAGINOUS |SYNOVIAL |
|EXAMPLE |Cranial sutures |Symphysis pubis |Fingers |
| |Syndesmoses |IVD |Toes |
| |(tib/fib, radius/ulna) |Manubriosternal Jnx |Knees |
| | |Sternoclavicular |Hips |
| | |Acromioclavicular |Apophyseal joints |
| | |Joint Capsules |SI joints |
Intervertebral Discs
Nucleus pulposis encased by outer and inner annular fibers
Subchondral component of vertebral body (hyaline cartilage)
Make up of disc from A to P
Transition is based on composition adds to disc integrity
Collagen ( Fibrocartilage ( Nucleus Pulposis ( Glucosaminoglycans
Discogram show nucleus’ center slightly posterior (sitting in deepest concavity)
Bare Area (juxta-articular)
Located at non-articulating intra-articular bone surfaces
Cartilage becomes thin and may be absent at joint margin
Bone has least amount of protection
This is the first to attack in arthritis
# of joints involved
Mono-articular – a single joint is involved (DJD)
Pauciarticular – two to four joints are involved (Early Ankylosing Spondylitis)
Polyarticular – more than four joints are involved (RA, Psoriasis)
Rheumatoid Factor
*found in blood of 92% of patient’s with RA
*Sero Positive
*Sero Negative – RA is concelled out; look at other arthritides that imitate RA
(Psoriasis)
Osteophyte – bones growth that increases the surface area
*follow cortical margins for a continual cortex
*bone projections
Syndesmophyte – ossification of outer annular fibers (Kuhn)
*inflammatory ossification within a spinal ligament (Yochum)
*commonly in ankylosing spondylitis (marginal type)
*less common: psoriasis, Reiter’s syndrome (non-marginal type)
