    Study Notes

    The Musculoskeletal System

    • Comprises of soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments) and bones & joints
    • Bone anatomy:
      • Long bones (e.g., femur, humerus)
      • Epiphyseal growth plate (active during adolescence)
    • Bone healing process involves several stages:
      • Hematoma formation: a framework for healing created by fibrin and platelets
      • Procallus formation: fibro- and osteoblasts build granulation tissue (procallus)
      • Callus formation: procallus hardens with calcium and phosphate deposition
      • Replacement: callus replaced by lamellar or trabecular bone
      • Remodeling: bone remodeled to its pre-injury shape and size

    Types of Joints

    • Fibrous joints: bones directly connected by fibers (no movement)
    • Cartilaginous joints: bones connected through cartilage (shock absorption and limited movement)
    • Synovial joints: bones connected via synovial membrane (most movement)

    Soft tissue

    • Ligament: connects bone to bone
    • Tendon: connects muscle to bone
    • Muscle types
      • Skeletal muscle (voluntary, striated)
      • Smooth muscle (involuntary, non-striated)

    Osteoporosis

    • A condition causing bone weakness leading to fractures
    • Potential causes:
      • decreased estrogen and testosterone
      • sedentary lifestyle
      • inadequate vitamin D and calcium intake
      • certain medications (e.g., steroids)
    • Clinical manifestations:
      • pain
      • bone deformities
      • fractures
      • kyphosis (spinal curvature)
      • diminishing height
    • Prevention:
      • Regular weight-bearing exercise
      • Sufficient calcium and vitamin D intake during adolescence
    • Treatment:
      • SERMs, bisphosphonates, denosumab, teriparatide

    Osteomyelitis

    • Bone infection primarily caused by Staphylococcus aureus
    • Can occur from:
      • external penetrating wound
      • existing infection
      • sepsis (bloodstream infection)
    • Spreads under the periosteum and along the bone shaft or marrow
    • Clinical manifestations:
      • Localized inflammation (pain, redness, loss of function, increased temperature)
      • Systemic symptoms (fever, elevated white blood cell count)
      • Necrotic bone tissue visible on imaging
    • Treatment:
      • Surgical debridement and antibiotics

    Osteoarthritis

    • Also known as degenerative joint disease
    • Age-related disorder affecting synovial joints
    • Characterized by:
      • Cartilage loss in the joint
      • Bone sclerosis
      • Bone spur formation
    • Clinical manifestations:
      • Pain, stiffness, enlargement, deformity, limited mobility of affected joint
      • Joint swelling (Herberden and Bouchard nodes)
      • Localized symptoms; no systemic manifestations

    Ankylosing Spondylitis

    • Chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease affecting the spine or sacroiliac joints
    • Associated with HLA-B27 (human leukocyte antigen)
    • Causes stiffening and fusion of the joints (ankylosis)
    • Primarily affects the axial skeleton (spine)
    • Clinical manifestations:
      • Low back pain, stiffness, restricted motion
      • Loss of lumbar curvature ("bamboo spine")
      • Kyphosis (outward curvature of cervical spine)
      • Chest pain/restricted chest movement
      • Fibrotic changes to organs
    • Treatment:
      • Supportive therapy (physical therapy, occupational therapy)
      • Support groups
      • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, pain medications
      • Local steroid injections to affected joints

    Gouty Arthritis

    • Metabolic disorder caused by high uric acid concentrations
      • Overproduction or inability to excrete uric acid
      • Uric acid is a product of purine metabolism, obtained from body or diet
      • Uric acid excreted through urine or stool
    • Build-up of uric acid leads to crystallization and deposition in tissues
      • Causes acute joint pain and inflammation
      • Can deposit in cartilage, tendons, soft tissues (tophi - visible nodules)
    • Other signs & symptoms:
      • Typically affects the big toe
      • Pain worse at night
      • Recurrent attacks of the same joint
    • Treatment:
      • Weight reduction
      • Dietary changes (avoiding alcohol, shellfish, high-purine foods)
      • Pharmaceuticals

    Pediatric Issues

    • Scoliosis:
      • Caused by vertebral rotation (spinal curvature)
      • Treatment depends on the severity:
        • Bracing: for curvature between 25-40 degrees (prevents progression)
        • Surgery: for curvature greater than 40-50 degrees
    • Bowing fracture:
      • Occurs primarily in children (due to thinner cortex in bones allowing for elasticity)
      • Mechanism: falling on outstretched hand, causing radial and ulnar bowing fractures
      • No visible fracture on x-ray but bone is bent
