    Study Notes

    Musculoskeletal System Disorders

    • Musculoskeletal diseases affect people of all ages.
    • They account for many new consultations in general practice.
    • Disorders arise from processes affecting bones, joints, muscles, or connective tissues.
    • Pain and impairment of locomotor function are typical manifestations.
    • Prevalence increases with age.

    Bone Structure and Development

    • Bones are categorized as flat bones (e.g., skull) and long bones (e.g., femur).
    • Flat bones develop through intramembranous ossification (direct bone formation in mesenchymal tissue).
    • Long bones develop through endochondral ossification (from a cartilage template).
    • Cortical bone forms Haversian systems (concentric lamellae) and is dense.
    • Trabecular bone (cancellous bone) fills the bone's interior.

    Bone Cells

    • Osteoclasts: responsible for bone resorption.
    • Osteoblasts: responsible for bone formation.
    • Osteocytes: sense and respond to mechanical stimuli, coordinating bone formation and resorption.

    Bone Matrix and Mineral

    • Type I collagen is a key structural protein in bone matrix.
    • Bone mineral (hydroxyapatite) is essential for bone strength.
    • Bone remodeling is a cyclical process with quiescence, resorption, reversal and formation phases.

    Joint Structure and Function

    • Synovial joints are complex structures containing synovial fluid (SF), which lubricates the joint.
    • Articular cartilage covers the bone ends in synovial joints.
    • Synovial membrane lines the joint capsule.
    • Ligaments connect bones and provide stability.

    Muscle Structure and Function

    • Skeletal muscles are responsible for body movements.
    • Myocytes (muscle cells) contain myofibrils for contraction.

    Musculoskeletal Disease Investigation

    • Clinical history and examination are often sufficient for diagnosis.
    • Joint aspiration is important in suspected septic arthritis.
    • X-rays are valuable for diagnosing bone and joint diseases.
    • Bone scintigraphy helps diagnose metastatic bone disease and Paget's disease.
    • MRI provides detailed information on bone and soft tissues.
    • Blood tests (e.g., ESR, CRP) can help assess inflammation.
    • Ultrasound can detect early synovitis and joint effusions.

    Gout

    • Sudden onset of severe joint pain, usually in the big toe.
    • Caused by the deposition of urate crystals in joints.
    • Often treated with colchicine.

    Septic Arthritis

    • A serious infection in a joint.
    • Usually caused by bacteria.
    • Presents as severe joint pain, swelling, and warmth.
    • Requires prompt antibiotic treatment.

    Rheumatoid Arthritis

    • A chronic autoimmune disease.
    • Involves inflammation of joints.
    • Characterized by morning stiffness, fatigue, and joint swelling.
    • Often treated with NSAIDs and DMARDs like methotrexate.
