LRA 217 Week 2 – Clinical Indications–
Radiographic and Clinical Features
Study Guide
1. Multiple myeloma: is the most common primary
cancerous bone tumor and generally affects persons
between ages 40 and 70 years.
2. Osteopetrosis: is a hereditary disease marked by
abnormally dense bone.
3. Skier's thumb: is a sprain or tear of the ulnar collateral
ligament of the thumb near the MCP joint of the
hyperextended thumb.
4. Boxer fracture: Transverse fracture that extends through the
metacarpal neck;
most commonly seen in
the fifth metacarpal.
5. Osteoporosis: refers to reduction in the quantity of bone or
atrophy of skeletal tissue.
6. Colles fracture: Transverse fracture of
the distal radius.
7. Osteoarthritis: also known as degenerative joint disease
(DJD), is a noninflam- matory joint disease characterized by
, gradual deterioration of the articular cartilage with hypertrophic
(enlarged or overgrown) bone formation.
8. Bursitis: is inflammation of the bursae or fluid-filled sacs that
enclose the joints.
9. Carpal tunnel syndrome: is a common painful disorder of the
wrist and hand that results from compression of the median
nerve
10. Osteomyelitis: is a local or generalized infection of bone or
bone marrow that may be caused by bacteria introduced by
trauma or surgery.
11. Paget disease: is a common chronic skeletal disease; it is
characterized by bone destruction followed by a reparative process
of overproduction of very dense yet soft bones that tend to fracture
easily.
12. Joint effusion: a sign of an underlying condition, such as
fracture, dislocation, soft tissue damage, or inflammation.
13. Rheumatoid arthritis: is a chronic systemic disease with
inflammatory changes throughout the connective tissues.
14. Barton fracture: Fracture and dislocation of the posterior lip
of the distal radius
15. Possible radiographic appearance of Barton fracture:
Disruption in bony cortex with soft tissue swelling
