Case Studies Case #1 Mr. Jones, his wife, and their child Sally were involved in an automobile accident. Each of them suffered broken bones, scrapes and bruises. Look at the slides and match the x-ray with the correct patient. Slide 1a, Slide 1b, and Slide 1c Mr Jones. Transverse tibial fracture Mrs. Jones. Pott s fracture Sally Jones. Colles fracture Case #2 An 18 year-old man presents with a six-month history of progressive pain in his left distal thigh. He had some moderate swelling about his knee. His pain was worse at night. He did not have pain with ambulation. Radiographs demonstrated a lesion of the distal femur. See slide 2a. This radiograph demonstrates a lesion in the metaphyseal region of the distal femur. See slide 2b This bone scan demonstrates a hot spot of increased uptake in the distal left femur. a. What is the diagnosis? b. In whom and at what sites is this lesion most common? Case #3 A 29 year-old woman complains to her physician that she hasn t felt well since having the flu several months ago. She is extremely tired but often doesn t sleep well at night. She complains of generalized aching and pain. She has experienced frequent migraines and is often incapacitated for days. Her bowel movements are irregular and fluctuate between constipation and diarrhea.
Physical exam revealed pain to the touch at the base of the neck, muscles in upper back, upper muscles of the buttocks, knee joints, and sides of the elbows. (See slide 3). Laboratory tests are unremarkable with normal chemistry, CBC, and thyroid function. ESR is within the normal range. ANA, RA, and mono tests are negative. What condition do you suspect? Case #4 A 35 year-old man complains of lower back pain, fatigue, and decreasing range of movement. Physical exam shows severely restricted forward flexion, rotation, and lateral flexion. See slide 4a A radiograph of the spine shows fusion of vertebrate. See slide 4b Laboratory Tests are remarkable for an elevated ESR, and elevated alkaline phosphatase. Serum analysis for HLA-B 27 is positive. Your diagnosis is? Case #5 A 65 year-old man complains of pain in his left elbow and right great toe. He has a history of kidney stones. Lab results show normal CBC and chemistry values other than an elevated uric acid. See slide 5 for a radiograph of the great toe. Your diagnosis? What causes the pain he is experiencing?
Case #6 A 70 year-old woman fell and broke her hip. Her daughter accompanies her to the emergency room. See slide 6 for a radiograph of her opposite hip. What is the most likely cause of her broken hip? Recommend a treatment regimen to improve her condition. Can you recommend preventative measures for her daughter? Case #7 A 46-year-old man presents with progressive pain and swelling of his right hip region. The swelling is worse than the pain. On physical examination, he is mildly obese and it is difficult to assess the right hip region. Slide 7a A bone scan showed a large area of increased uptake (a "hot spot") in the right pelvic wing (seen here on the left). Slide 7b A radiograph of the pelvis demonstrates an ill-defined mass eroding the right pelvic wing and extending into soft tissue. Note the fluffy calcifications within the mass. Slide 7c A pelvic CT scan reveals an ill-defined mass eroding the right pelvic wing and extending into soft tissue. Note the calcifications within the mass. A resection was performed. It was noted that the lesion had invaded the spongy bone. What type of tumor do you suspect?
Case #8 A 58-year-old woman has suffered from arthritis with pain and swelling of her hands and feet that is aggravated by movement. Over the past decade she has noted increasing deformity of her hands and feet, making it difficult to walk and to perform simple daily activities such as buttoning a blouse or even combing her hair. She has no history of any trauma. Radiographs show ankylosis of the carpals (immobility) with residual evidence of MP joint erosion and decreased bone mass of the metacarpals and carpals. Physical examination reveals firm, non-tender, less than 1 cm nodules over the elbows. Slide 8a Left hand of patient. Slide 8b Radiograph of hand shows joint narrowing with marginal erosions and osteoporosis, Slide 8c Synovial fluid shows mononuclear cells with numerous lymphocytes and some scattered plasma cells. Laboratory results are remarkable for elevated ESR, and positive RA. Your diagnosis is? Why are there numerous cells in the synovial exudates?

THERE IS A SLIGHT MALE PREDOMINANCE, WITH PEAK INCIDENCE FROM TEENAGE TO YOUNG ADULTHOOD. THE MOST COMMON SITES ARE IN LONG BONES, PARTICULARLY AROUND THE KNEE Case #3 A 29 year-old woman complains to her physician that she hasn t felt well since having the flu several months ago. She is extremely tired but often doesn t sleep well at night. She complains of generalized aching
and pain. She has experienced frequent migraines and is often incapacitated for days. Her bowel movements are irregular and fluctuate between constipation and diarrhea. Physical exam revealed pain to the touch at the base of the neck, muscles in upper back, upper muscles of the buttocks, knee joints, and sides of the elbows. (See slide 3). Laboratory tests are unremarkable with normal chemistry, CBC, and thyroid function. ESR is within the normal range. ANA, RA, and mono tests are negative. What condition do you suspect FIBROMYALGIA. DIAGNOSIS OF FIBROMYALGIA IS BASED ON HAVING ALL 3 OF THE FOLLOWING MAJOR CRITERION: 1. Generalized aches or stiffness of at least three anatomical sites for at least three months 2. Six or more typical, reproducible tender points. (See slide 3) 3. Exclusion of other disorders that can cause similar symptoms. Four or more of the minor criteria must also be present for diagnosis. These include: 1. Generalized fatigue 2. Chronic headache 3. Sleep disturbance 4. Neurological and psychological complaints 5. Joint swelling 6. Numbing or tingling sensations 7. Irritable bowel syndrome 8. Variation of symptoms in relation to activity, stress, and weather changes
