    Study Notes

    Arthritis

    • Acute or chronic inflammation of a joint
    • Etiology: infectious or noninfectious
    • Noninfectious types: hypertrophic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis
    • Hypertrophic arthritis: occurs in weight-bearing joints of older patients, characterized by erosion of articular cartilage
    • Rheumatoid arthritis: systemic disease, more common in women, affects connective tissues
    • Psoriatic arthritis: observed in cases of psoriasis
    • Infectious types: caused by Staphylococci, streptococci, gonococci
    • Typically affects knee, hip, and elbow joints
    • Clinical signs: pain, redness, swelling, heat, loss of function
    • Complications: phlegmon, dislocation, osteomyelitis, chronic infection or inflammation
    • Treatment: immobilization, antimicrobial drugs, physiotherapy, evacuation of articular cavity

    Bursitis

    • Acute or chronic inflammation of a bursa
    • Etiology: infectious or noninfectious
    • Infectious types: caused by Staphylococci, streptococci
    • Locations: prepatellar, suprapatellar, elbow (olecranon)
    • Can spread through blood, lymph, or direct infection
    • Clinical signs: general signs of inflammation
    • Treatment: immobilization, antibiotics, puncture of bursa, surgical treatment (incision and drainage)

    Tendonitis and Tenosynovitis

    • Tendonitis: inflammation of a tendon
    • Tenosynovitis: inflammation of tendons and enveloping sheath
    • Causes: infection or trauma
    • Traumatic cases: often chronic, e.g. carpal tunnel syndrome
    • Clinical signs: pain, loss of function, tendinous crepitus
    • Treatment: immobilization, physiotherapy, NSAIDs/antibiotics, possible surgery
