You normally don't see __ in OA, except in 4 specific joints erosions
geode subchondral cyst
normal finding in OA geode/subchondral cyst
OA without joint space narrowing, and sclerosis, but only osteophytes DISH
Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis DISH
RA is a __ disease systemic inflammatory
RA is a disease of erosions
distribution of RA is proximal and symmetric
soft tissue swelling, osteoporosis, joint space narrowing, marginal erosions hallmarks of RA
in extension and flexion veiws of the C spine if you see increased distance between the dens and the anterior arch of C1 you have Atlantoaxial Instability with RA
Can cause compression of the C spine Atlantoaxial Instability with RA
Ankylosing Spondylitis behaves like Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Psoriatic Arthritis behaves like Reiter Syndrome (reactive srthritis)
Ankylosing Spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriatic arthritis, reiter syndrome Seronegative spondyloarthropathies
in patients with spinal ankylosis even a minor trauma can be a huge disaster
bony ankylosis, new bone formation, axial spine involvement hallmarks of seronegative spondyloarthropathies
syndesmophytes and ankylosis bamboo spine
if you have asymmetric arthritis involvement of the SI joints it is not ankylosing spondylitis, or IBD
can't see, can't pee, can't climb a tree Reiter Syndrome
arthritis, nongonococcal urethritis, conjunctivitis Reiter Syndrome
often follows a GU or GI infection Reiter Syndrome
Ankylosing spondylitis must be symmetric
distal predominance, soft tissue swelling, periostitis, proliferative erosions with fuzzy margins Hallmarks of Reiter syndrome and Psoriatic Arthritis

gout of the great toe podagra
well defined sclerotic erosions, soft tissue nodules, random distribution gout

most common site for septic arthritis in adults knee
most common site for septic arthritis in children hip
x-ray of joint with septic arthritis often normal
elbow effusion + trauma = __ fracture
joint pain + effusion = __ septic arthritis
if you see a posterior fat lucency on the elbow it is an effusion
the anterior fat pad in the elbow should hug the bone
if the elbows anterior fat pad is not hugging the bone but is giving the sail sign it is __ an effusion
Osteonecrosis from Steroids, Trauma, Sickle Cell Disease, Idiopathic avascular necrosis
effusion, patchy sclerosis in otherwise normal joint, subchondral lucency, collapse of articular surface and fragmentation avascular necrosis
