Pathologies

Inflammation of connective tissue:
Sx's:
- widespread, poorly defined
- accompanied by infection
Diff dx:
Skin is hot, red, & edematous

Superficial inflammation of skin
Sx's:
- vesicles, redness, edema
- oozing, crusting, scaling
- itching
Diff Dx:
-Changes in skin
-Pt Hx

Blood clot in LE that may dislodge and become a PE

Diff dx:
- skin may be cyanotic, warm, or normal
- pain, tenderness, or swelling
- (+) venogram
- (+) homan's sign

A genetic bleeding disorder

Inflammation of the liver: 3 types

An acute CNS viral infection involving dorsal root ganglia

Sx of arterial insufficiency resulting in ischemia to exercising muscle.

Diff dx:
- weak/absent peripheral pulses
- pallor with limb elevation
rubor with dependent position

Inflammatory disease transmitted by a tick

Diff dx:
- bulls eye rash
- flu like sx's

Disease of the skin with erythmatous plaques with a silvery scale

Chronic, diffuse disease of connective tissue causing fibrosis of skin, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs.

Abnormal sympathetic reflex resulting from persistent painful lesion.
Sx's:
- pain
- edema
- decreased circulation
- dry skin
- atrophy of surrounding muscles

Wrist fx resulting from FOOS
Distal radial fx with dorsal displacement and radial shift

Degeneration of articular jt's
- non rheumatoid
- non systemic
- normal sed rate (ESR)
- probs in weight bearing jt's
- abnormal jt radiographs

Ideopathic immune disorder that causes tenderness, pain and stiffness in muscles

Metabolic disease with increase uric acid and irate chrystals in joints, soft tissues and kidney

Trauma to muscle resulting in a calcified/ossified hematoma. May be induced by early mobs and stretching with agressive PT

Separation of articular cartilage from bone

Decalcification of bones due to vit. D difficiency

Acute or chronic bone infection

Metabolic bone disease that depletes bone mineral density with increased risk for fx.

Slowe progressive metab bone disease with 2 phases:
Initial: excessive bone reabsorption
Reactive: excess abnormal bone formation
Sites fracture easily and heal slowly

Improper tracking of patella leads to this
Diff dx:
- Q angle <18•
- pain with first 30• of flex
-(+) grind test

Median nerve entrapment

Chronic, sysytemic, inflam disease
Sx's:
Ulnar drift in hands
Pain is bilateral And symmetrical

Lateral curvature of the spine can be:
- structural is irreversible
- nonstructural is reversable

Rheumatoid like disoder characterized by dryness of mucus membranes, jt inflam, and anemia

Distal fx of radius with ventral displacement due to FOOS

Sprain: what degree?
Some fibers torn
Min hemorrhaging
Jt remains stable

Sprain: what degree?
- portion of lig or jt capsule torn
- mod hemorrhaging
- some fxnl loss
- jt stability intact

Sprain: what degree?
Complete disruption or avulsion of ligament or capsule
Loss of function
Loss of jt stability
Pronounced hemorrhaging and swelling

Chronic, systemic, rheumatic, inflam disease affecting multiple organs
