• Rotator cuff injury is among the most common causes of shoulder pain.
• Rotator cuff tendinopathy almost always represents chronic injury to the supraspinatus (abduction) and/or infraspinatus
• Tears occur primarily in the supraspinatus tendon.
• Sports injuries due to overuse and subluxation of the glenohumeral joint are most common in adolescents and young adults
• Rotator cuff tendinopathy almost always represents chronic injury to the supraspinatus (abduction) and/or infraspinatus
• Tears occur primarily in the supraspinatus tendon.
• Sports injuries due to overuse and subluxation of the glenohumeral joint are most common in adolescents and young adults
knee injuries (ACL injuries, meniscal injuries- acute and chronic, MCL and LCL injuries, paterllar dislocations)ACL injuries occur with sudden deceleration with a rotational maneuver, usually without contact. - (Any athlete sport can cause this)
Acute meniscal injuries occur with a twisting motion on the weight-bearing knee.
Chronic meniscal tears
occur from mechanical grinding of osteophytes on the meniscus in older patients with osteoarthritis.
Medial collateral and lateral collateral injuries occur from valgus and varus stress, respectively.
Patellar dislocations occur from direct contact or a sudden change of direction.ankle injuries (most common, what does the mechanism involve and what ligaments are damaged)• Ankle sprains most common injury to ankle
• The mechanism of most ankle sprains involves *inversion and damages the lateral ligaments.* (roll ankle outward)healing process in soft tissue• Repair is accomplished by fibroblasts from the inner tendon sheath (not as vascular as a bone so take longer to heal)
• Capillaries infiltrate the injured area during the initial healing process
• Formation of the long collagen bundlestreatment of these athletic and overuse injuries (prevention, acute injury management, and chronic management- why might an MRI be needed)• Prevention:
• Don't be a week-end warrior
• Ergonomical work area

• *9th week*: ossification begins with the appearance of ossification centers in the lower thoracic and upper lumbar vertebrae.congenital deformities (mild and major limb malformations)• *Mild limb deformities* (relatively common)
• Syndactyly: simple webbing of the fingers or toes
• Polydactyly: the presence of an extra digit
• Absence of a bone such as the phalanx, rib, or clavicle
• *Major limb malformations* (relatively rare)
• Joint contractures and dislocations
• Absence of entire bones, joints, or limbslower extremity positional deformities summary- metatarsus adductus, calcavenvaulgus feet= these are all what, and why do they happen• Metatarsus adductus= medial deviation of the forefoot while the hindfoot remains neutral.
• Calcaneovalgus feet= hyper dorsiflexion of the foot with the abduction of the forefoot
• Positional clubfoot
• Internal and external tibial torsion = In-toeing, out-toeing
• Physiologic genu varum = physiologic bowing
These normally go away with time** = THESE ARE BENIGN
Baby's may not get the movement they need in utero- can be positionalcongenital clubfootCongenital clubfoot- more severe than positional clubfoot- developed abnormal sublaxation of talo clavicularnavicular joint, underdevelopment of soft tissues of medial side of foot = need manipulation and castingdevelopmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) when do we check for this, what happens, how does the hip presentcheck on a well baby exam
• Abnormality of the hip that can affect the femur, acetabulum, or both
• The hip can present as subluxated, dislocated, or acetabular dysplasiamanifestations pf DDH• Asymmetry of skinfolds at groin crease
• Galeazzi sign
• Limitation of hip abduction
• Positive Ortolani sign
• Positive Barlow signhow do we get DDH, risk factors, and management of DDH• Either idiopathic or teratologic (secondary to another disorder)
• Risk factors=
• Female sex
• Oligohydramnios (too little/decreased amniotic fluid)
• Positive family history
• Breech presentation
• Clinical management=
• Pavlik harness
• Closed reduction with spica casting
• Surgery
• Outcome becomes poorer with age
NEED TO CATCH EARLY- outcomes worse if not caughtosteogenesis imperfecta is what, defect of what, manifestations• "Brittle bone disease"
• Defect in type I collagen production*
• Bone and vessel collagen
• Clinical manifestations=
Osteopenia, Increased rate of fractures, Bone deformity (bowing)
Abnormality in hip development that leads to a wide spectrum of hip problems in infants and children
Type III- Short stature and
Blue sclera and poor dentition
Aortic aneurysmosteogensis imperfecta management (surgical and medical)• Surgical = • Intramedullary or telescoping rod placement
• Medical= • Increased calcium and vitamin D
• Biphosphateswhat is scoliosis and types• Lateral deviation of the spinal column that may or may not include rotation or deformity of the vertebrae
• Types:
• Congenital scoliosis: caused by disturbances in vertebral development during the 6th to 8th week of embryologic development
• Neuromuscular scoliosis: develops from neuropathic or myopathic diseases
• *Idiopathic scoliosis: structural spinal curvature for which no cause has been established= Includes the common scoliosis often monitored in adolescents
Idiopathic- happens in adolescents/teensMuscular dystrophies are what• Group of inherited disorders that cause *progressive muscle fiber loss*
• The muscular dystrophies cause weakness, mostly of the voluntary musclesduchenne muscular dystrophy- DMD- how do we get it, who does it affect more, how common, caused by what,• Most common of the muscular dystrophies
• X-linked =
• Generally, affects boys (girls are carriers)
• Caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene=
• Dystrophin maintains the structural integrity of the cytoskeleton
Can affect cardiac muscle toobecker muscular dystrophy is caused by what, when does it present, life expectancy compared to DMD• Caused by alterations of the same dystrophin gene and protein as seen in DMD
• Presents later in life than DMD
• Longer life expectancyaging and the bones (what happens to the bones, bone remodeling)• Bone loss
• Less dense, less strong, more brittle
• Bone remodel time is lengthenejoints as we age (cartilage, range of motion) and muscles are we age (muscle mass and strength, oxygen intake, meatbolic rate, body mass)• Joints =
• Cartilage becomes more rigid, fragile, susceptible to fraying
• Decreased range of motion
• Muscles=
• Sarcopenia (muscle breakdown)
• Decrease in muscle mass and strength
• Reduced oxygen intake, basal metabolic rate, and lean body masssymptoms of osteoarthritis and locaiton, how is RA different than OA• Symptoms=
Joint pain, stiffness, and locomotor restriction
Present in just one or a few joints in a middle-age or older person
As disease progresses: Limitation of motion, joint instability, deformity
• Location=
• knees, hips, finger interphalangeal joints, first carpometacarpal (CMC) joints, first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints, and apophyseal (facet) joints of the lower cervical and lower lumbar spine
RA= symmetrical, OA= not symmetricalsecondary OAhas a known underlying cause such as=
• congenital or acquired defects of joint structures, trauma, metabolic disorders, or inflammatory diseases.OA patho- formerly known as what, progressive what, what thickens, smyptoms of OA - triggered by what, how is it different than RA• Formerly considered to be simply a degenerative "wear and tear" process, actually called Degenerative Joint Disease
• Some argue OA should also be considered a systemic rather than focal MS disease
A progressive loss of articular cartilage
*Thickening of subchondral bone*
• Osteophytes
• Bone spurs
Synovitis & synovial hypertrophy - but different immune cells than RA
• Felt trigger are DAMPs* (in RA it's the B cells, in OA it's the DAMPS, RA is autoantibodies, OA is damaged pathways)
Soft tissue damage
• ligaments, the joint capsule, and, in the knee, the menisci
Symptoms of OA= Bouchard and Heberden nodes), deformity of jointtesting and treatment for OA - goals• Testing= • X-rays
• Goals: minimize pain, optimize function, and beneficially modify the process of joint damage
• Nonpharmacological, *weight loss (10% total reduction = 50% reduction in pain), exercise, walking aids
• Pharmacological, NSAIDs
• Surgery (joint replacements)previous contentstudy anemia and immuneZOOM REVIEW...hip dysplasia (what is a main symptom, when would we pick up on it)6-month well child exam
Check for hip dysplasia - usually would have caught before 6 months
Waddling gait and shorter leg* at birth = we should have picked this up way before 6 monthsdad has RA- what does this mean for baby, JIA vs. RADad has RA= I'm worried the baby is going to get juvenile or RA= it could be genetic
Arthritis's is polygenetic- not a single gene- more than one involved and environment/epigenetics involved that can make a difference for the baby
Baby may have an increased risk but it's very difficult to predict
Juvenile arthritis vs. RA= larger joints affected with juvenile; pain is less significant (kids are resilient)other things besides hip dysplasia that are on the newborn screenDuchenne's muscular dystrophy
osteogenesis imperfectaduchennes muscular dystrophy, what happens, and what is impacted, what does it end up in, prognosisDuchenne's muscular dystrophy gene= muscle fiber loss, dystrophin is impacted, dystrophin maintains cytoskeleton, anchors muscle fibers to the basement membrane- if we lose dystrophin, we have muscular breakdown = results in muscular weakness, poor prognosis, end up in wheelchairs= significantly impaired mobilityosteogenesis imperfecta is what, what is abnormal, what is the baby more prone to, what to educate onbrittle bones from a defect in collagen synthesis = not making collagen of bones- have to educate the parents that the child needs more calcium, vitamin D, careful handling baby= baby is more prone to fracturesPaget's disease - how do you get it and what is a huge risk factoron new born screening too- not a single gene, first degree relative= much greater risk= *both genetic and environmental influences= 15 to 40% of people that have Paget disease have a FIRST DEGREE RELATIVE WITH THE DISEASE*mom is tired, has gained weight, pain everywhere and not sleeping well= what does she have, what tells us this, how is it different than CFS, lupus, to treat fibro, prognosis of fibroTender points on body= upper back, shoulders
Answer is fibromyalgia
Fibro vs. chronic fatigue= tender points in fibromyalgia, infection usually before chronic
fatigue = see a triggering event, fibro does not have a triggering event
Lupus= antigens against our self
To treat fibro= sleep hygiene, meds, CBT, weight loss, exercise
Fibro = prognosis is chronic condition, wide range of how severe it can bedad has pain in both wrists and hands, sometimes even knees, worse in the mornings= what does he have, what labs would we check, what is this in one sentence, what is unique abbout this lab, treatment for this, high levels of what immunoglobin*ANA high, sed rate through the roof, rheumatoid factor is positive
Immune system attacking own joints
Rheumatoid factor= B cells are making antibodies or immunoglobins, IgM autoantibody is what rheumatoid factor is measuring
We can get false positive rheumatoid factor = TB, leprosy, parasitic infections (from traveling etc), sarcoidosis= HIGH LEVELS OF IgM
Releasing things and macrophages and phagocytic activity in the joint space- MASSSIVE inflammatory destruction in the joint
Treatment: DMARDs, steroids to simmer down inflammation, immune suppressionRA vs. ASRA more common in females, ankylosing spondylitis= more common in males = autoimmune inflammatory condition that attacks the Sacroiliac joints = loose natural curvature of spine
AS inflammation of fibrocartilage in the spine = *SI joints*- loose lower curvature15 yaer old that injured self during soccor game - what do we need to find out, sprain vs. strain, dislocation involved what, top 5 diagnosis, what is the most severe- and our first worry*how did it happen/describe the mechanism of injury* = history is very important, can you bear weight, did you feel it pop
Turn and twisting and I did hear it pop
Sprain= ligament
Strain= muscle
Dislocation= patella
ACL tear, patellar dislocation, Meniscal tear, fracture, bone contusions = top 5
Fracture is the most severe = number one priority= he's 15 so we worry about growth plate fractures* this is the first priority of concernligament tear needs what, loose body- how will they complain, how do we treat his knee injury, when would we suspect a loose body, what is essential to prevent another injuryLigament tear= HAVE TO HVE AN MRI, XRAY cant see soft tissues structures
He needs RICE= NSaids block COX pathway which blocks prostaglandins
LOOSE BODY= they will complain of sharp, intermittent pain
ACL is repaired, he comes back 6 months later= it locks up and hurts and then goes away= CONCERN FOR A LOOSE BODY and getting caught in a crevis intermittently
To prevent another knee injury= MAKE SURE THEY ARE WARMING UP/Stretching, NEUROMUSCULAR AND PROPRIOCEPTIVE TRAINING- straining muscles around it to protect knee , decreases ACL tears if you get this trainingbone cancers- when would we suspect osteosarcoma, legg pathe disease, how to check for scoliosis and ewing sarcoma- how is it differentWant to also rule out weird growths on bones, because of osteosarcoma- we get these on femurs, PALPABLE MASS ON FEMUR= osteosarcoma in this age
Hip pain in this patient= legg calve perthes disease= avascular necrosis of the hip, decrease blood supply to femoral head = keep them off the hip, degeneration of the femur head
Bend over and touch toes= checking for scoliosis
Ewing sarcoma= BONE MARROW and breaks through the bone- big soft tissue massgrandma has right knee and hip pain, 53 year old and overweight= what does she have, what do we need to rule out, what is the patho of this disease, how is it different than RA, treatment- what specfically is very important, what would be an incorrect statementOA, need to rule out septic arthritis and osteomyelitis
OA= loss of articular cartilage, degenerative disease, slower than RA, wear and tear and progressively loose articular cartilage, still get immune response from the wear and tear, this articular cartilage is damaged= so immune system attempts to repair and get bone spurs (built up calcifications)
Pain worsens with activity= OA
NEEDS TO LOOSE Weight, PT, knee and hip replacements if bad enough
Treat with pain medicines= *we want her pain under control to continue exercising- take Tylenol or a PPI and Advil and treat pain so you can continue to work with PT and loose weight"
If she says- I cant use those pain medications it will mask what's going on with my body= this is incorrect- this is the wrong answergrandpa has R shoulder pain after falling on- what are the possible diagnosis, what do we needFractures, tear or rotator cuff injury, dislocation of joint, sublaxation (slips out), contusion
We need IMAGING= need Xrays at first to rule out fracture, then we need an MRI= for the soft tissues
PTgreat gandma with insidious back pain, white women worse with activity, had covid and long term use of inhalers, previous heavy smoker= what do we need to check for what, how does their back look, what are her risk factors, what is important to check, what will help to build bone strength, what is the patho*Want a bone scan to check for osteoporosis, spine X rays
Significant lordosis and some kyphosis
X rays= severe
Fractured back from coughing from covid and has OP
Female, smoker, post menopausal age, low weight, steroids, = risk factors for OP
VIT D deficiency= poor bone strength
Weight bearing exercises to help build bones
Osteoporosis is= reduction in bone mass, decreased bone mineral density= increased risk for fracture
Imbalance of formation and reabsorption of bone*comorbid conditions with OP- who is at high risk for this, rickets, osteoclasts vs blasts,Comorbid conditions common with OP= vit D deficiency (CKD patients at risk for vit D def and OP), and also eating disorders (young females with this- high risk for OP early in their life)
Rickets= Vit D deficiency and calcium malabsorption, bones are brittle and under-minieralized
Reabsorption and formation of new bones- osteoclasts and blasts
Blasts= bone builders, synthesize collagen and control mineralization
Clasts= remodeling of the bone, reabsorptionwhat are we most worried about in OP patients and what jointWorried about falls with this OP patient= HIP FRACTURES- are the most concerning joint with falls
*Hip fractures= mobility and balance issues = medications and vision problems (macular degeneration), Parkinson's, = so try to prevent thesered flags of a spinal fracture, another term for adult ricketsRed flags of a spinal fracture= older population, direct trauma
Another term for adult rickets= osteomalacia*- softening of the adult bone, like an adult rickets because not enough calcium and vit D, vit D is critical in our bone formationgreat grandpa with toe pain- labs to order and what would you expect to be highi, what does he have and what is the patho of this, what causes the fever, does this only present in the toe, what can hapen short term and long term, to treat short term and long term, to treat and long term, what do we tell him to change as far as his lifestyleRight big toe felt like it was on fire
Labs to order= CBC- WBC is high, uric acid high
Gout= hyperuricemia= not execrating enough or over production of urate, genetic and environmental, crystal deposits in joints and immune system sees abnormal crystals and neutrophils try to phagocytosis and we can inflammatory response
Interleukin 6 - causing fever
Does gout always present in the toe? = no, can have it in ankle, knees
Could get urate kidney stones, but long term- the prognosis if we don't take care of the gout= can have chronic joint
issues/destruction= deformities etc and tophi
To treat= meds decrease inflammation, steroids, NSAIDs, colchicine
Long term we give uric acid blockers= cherry juice and allopurinol
Stop drinking, minimize meat consumption, weight loss (obesity= more inflammation)what do we need to avoid if kidneys not working wellNSAIDS = on the final
