Rheumatologic Disorders

198 Definition:

Rheumatologic (or Rheumatic) Disease: diseases characterized by pain and inflammation in joints and connective tissues, often referred to as “collagen-vascular diseases”. Diversity of Rheumatologic Diseases: Common and Uncommon Diseases Involving Inflammatory and Immune Responses

Inflammatory Diseases (innate immunity) Osteoarthritis* * Pseudogout

Immunologically-Mediated Diseases (adaptive immunity) Rheumatoid Arthritis* Systemic Lupus Erythematosus* Spondyloarthropathies* Ankylosing spondylitis Reactive Arthritis (Reiter’s Syndrome) Psoriatic Arthritis Spondylitis associated with IBD Sjogren’s Syndrome Polymositis/Dematomyositis Lyme Disease Rheumatic Behcet’s Syndrome Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma) Wegener’s Granulomatosis Giant Arteritis*

. Major Rheumatic Diseases

 Osteoarthritis  Poly-Dermatomyositis  Crystal - Induced  Rheumatoid Arthritis Arthritis  Systemic Lupus  Septic Arthritis erythematosus  Vasculitis  Systemic Sclerosis  Spondyloarthropathies Rheumatoid Arthritis

• Usually insidious onset with morning stiffness and pain in affected joints • Symmetric polyarthritis with predilection for small joints of the hands and feet; deformities common with progressive disease • Radiographic finds: juxta-articular osteoporosis, joint erosions, and joint space narrowing

202 203 RA

• Rheumatoid factor and antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptides (anti-CCP) are present in 70-80% • Extra-articular manifestations: subcutaneous nodules, pleural effusion, pericarditis, lympadenopathy, splenomegaly with leukopenia, and vaxculitis

204 RA

• Primary objective are reduction of inflammation and pain, preservation of function, and prevention of deformity • Early , effective pharmacologic intervention, Disease –modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDS) should be started as soon as the diagnois if certain.

205 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

• Occurs mainly in young women • Rash over areas exposed to sunlight • Joint symptoms in 90% of patients – multiple system involvement • Anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia • Glemerulonephritis, central nervous system disease, and complications of antiphospholipid and antibodies are major sources of disease morbidity

206 207 Lupus

• Serologic findings: antinuclear antibodies (100%), anti-native DNA antibodies (2/3), and low serum complement levels (especially during disease flares) • Treatment : Patient education and emotional support – • Drug therapy tailored to disease severity

208 Raynaud Phenomenon

• Paroxysmal bilateral symmetric pallor and cyanosis followed by rubor of the skin of the digits • Precipitated by cold or emotional stress; relieved by warmth • Primarily affects young women • Primary form benign; secondary form can cause digital ulceration or gangrene

209 210 Raynaud Treatment

• Keeping the body warm • Calcium channel blockers – first line; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, sympatholytic agents, topical nitrates, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, parenteral prostaglandins, and others • Sympathectomy may be indicated when attacks become frequent and severe

211 Seronegative Spondyloarthropathies • Ankylosing spondylitis • Psoriatic arthritis • Reactive arthritis (formerly Reiter syndrom) • Arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease

212 Ankylosing Spondylitis

• Chronic low backache in young adults, generally worst in the morning • Progressive limitation of back motion and or chest expansion • Transient (50%) or persistent (25%) peripheral arthritis • Anterior uveitis in 20 – 25% • Diagnostic radiographic changes in sacroiliac joints • Negative serologic tests for rheumatoid factor • HLA – B27 testing is most helpful where there is indeterminate probability of disease

213 214 215 Psoriatic Arthritis

• Psoriasis precedes onset of arthritis in 80% of cases • Arthritis usually asymmetric , with “sausage’ appearance of fingers and toes • Sacroiliac joint involvement common • Radiographic findings: osteolysis; pencil-in – cup deformity; relative lack of osteoporosis; bony , asymmetric sacroiliitis

216 217 218 Treatment of Psoriatric Arthritis

• NSAIDS are usually sufficient in mild cases • Methotrexate for those not responding • TNF inhibitors if refractory to methotrexate

219 Reactive Arthritis (formerly Reiter syndrome) • Reactive arthritis precipitated by antecedent gastrointestinal and genitourinary infections • Manifests as an asymmetric sterile oligoarthritis, typically of the lower extremities • Extra-articular manifestations: urethritis, conjunctivitis, uveitis, and mucocutaneous lesions

220 221 Reactive Arthritis

• Fifty to eighty percent of patients are HLA-B27 positive • Oligoarthritis, conjunctivitis, urethritis, and mouth ulcers most common features • Usually follows dysentery or a sexually transmitted infection

222 Treatment: Reactive Arthritis

• NSAIDS • given at the time of a nongonococcal sexually transmitted infection • Sulfasalazine

223 Infective Arthritis

• Nongonococcal acute Bacterial (Septic) Arthritis – Acute onset of inflammatory monoarticular arthritis, most often in large weight0bearing joints and wrists – Previous joint damage or injection drug abuse common risk factors – Infection with causative organisms commonly found elsewhere in body – Joint efffusions are usually large, with white blood counts commonly >50,000/mcl.

224 225 Key Risk Factors: Septic Arthritis

• Bacteremia (injection drug use, endocarditis, infection at other sitesO • Damaged or prosthetic joints • Compromised immunity (, advanced chronic kidney disease, , cirrhosis, immunosuppressive therapy) • Loss of skin integrity (cutaneous ulcer or psoriasis)

226 Infectious Organisms

• Staphylococcus arueus most common • Methicillin-resistant S aureus and group B • Gram-negative septic arthritis – common in injection drug users • Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most common gram negative isolates in adults.

227 Treatment of Septic Arthritis

• Appropriate therapy • Drainage of the infection joint • Early treatment critical in preserving joint function and preventing osteomyelitis

228 Infections of Bones

• Acute pyogenic osteomyelitis – Fever and chills associated with pain and tenderness of involved bone – Diagnosis usually requires culture of bone biopsy – ESR often extremely high

229 Treatment Ankylosing Spondylitis

• NSAID’s first line • TNF inhibitors for NSAID – resistant axial disease – improved outlook dramatically

230 Osteomyelitis

• Often difficult to diagnose and treat • Consequence of hematogenous dissemination of • Invasion from a focus of infection, • Skin breakdown in the setting of vascular insufficiency

231 Treatment: Osteomyelitis

• Surgical • Infectious disease consult • Follow up labs and studies

232 Neurogenic Arthropathy (Charcot Joint) • Joint destruction resulting from loss or diminution of proprioception, pain, and temperature perception • Frequently seen in diabetic neuropathy, syringomelia, spinal cord injury, pernicious anemia, leprosy and peripheral nerve injury • Normal muscle tone and protective reflexes are lost, secondary degenerative joint disease progresses

233 234 Charcot Joint

• Results in enlarged, boggy , relatively painless joint with extensive cartilage erosion, formation. • Radiographic changes may be degenerative or hypertrophic • Treatment: directed toward the primary disease; mechanical devices are used to assist in weight bearing and prevention of further trauma

235 Osteonecrosis Avascular Necrosis of Bone • Complication of corticosteroid use, alcoholism, trauma, SLE, pancreatitis, gout, sickle cell disease, dysbaruric syndromes and infiltrative diseases (Gaucher Diesease) • Common sites: proximal and distal femoral heads, ankle, shoulder and elbow • Osteonecrosis of the jaw been rarely associated with the use of bisphosphonate therapy

Part V

238 Introduction

• 80% of primary care providers are involved in fracture management • 1/3 of all visits to a family practice office are for musculoskeletal concerns Things to Avoid….In Your Practice

• Adverse outcome for missed or inaccurate fracture diagnosis, with resulting delay in treatment/referral and underestimating the seriousness of injury Fracture

• Break in the structural continuity of bone • Think of the forces that caused the mechanism of injury! • Remember that there is always some degree of soft tissue injury with a fracture What is bone…… BEFORE WE FIX IT OR REFER IT WE SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT IS!! What is Bone?

• Primary structural element of the body – Provides a framework for motion – Protects vital internal organs • Storage depot – 99% of total body calcium • Producer of circulating blood cells Keep in Mind How Fractures Happen

• A single traumatic incident? • Repetitive stress? • Abnormal weakening of the bone? (osteoporosis, fragility fractures, pathological fracture, malnutrition) • Remember to treat the patient and not just the fracture! Forces that Cause Fractures

• Twisting causes a spiral fracture • Compression causes a short oblique fracture • Bending results in fractures with a triangular “butter- fly” fragment • Tension tends to break the bone transversely Simple Diagnostic Tool for Fractures

• Let your hand do the walking!!! • Examine: touch, feel, examine contours, compare to opposite extremity Factors that Affect Fracture Healing

• The energy transfer of the injury – High energy injury – Low energy injury • The tissue response – Two bone ends in opposition or compressed? micro-movement or no movement? Signs of infection? • The patient – age, hormones, other drug use • The method of treatment

Stages of Fracture Healing • Inflammation – Hematoma Formation • Source of Growth Factors • Repair – Cartilage Formation and Maturation • Similar to endochondral ossification at physis • Proliferation---hypertrophy---calcification – Angiogenesis • Brings perivascular mesenchymal cells – converted to osteoblasts • Calcified cartilage (nearly identical to primary spongiosa) is replaced by woven bone (nearly identical to secondary spongiosa) • Remodeling Phases of Healing

• Inflammatory phase: begins immediately after injury, swelling, erythema, bruising, pain, impaired function • Repair phase: hard callus begins to form at about 2 – 3 weeks; fracture site becomes “sticky”, movement and pain decrease at the fracture site • Remodeling phase – begins at 6 weeks after injury; re-shapes the repair tissue with mature bone; tenderness and pain with motion resolves Fracture Healing – Age Dependent (example: Clavicle) • 1- 3 weeks for newborn clavicle to heal completely • 9 – 12 months for adult clavicle to heal completely • Cellular turnover rate is what drives healing!! • Are there confounding processes that will slow healing? Local Factors

Good Stability + Poor Biology = Atrophic Nonunion ______

Stability Biolo Poor Stability + Good Biology gy = Hypertrophic Nonunion Local Factors

• Biology – Blood Supply • Location of Fracture – Scaphoid, Talar Neck • Periosteal Stripping – Injury – Iatrogenic • Other disruptions of blood supply – Compartment Syndrome – 2x longer to heal – Vascular Injury – 3x greater incidence of delayed union Exogenous Factors

• Enhancement of Fracture Healing – Ultrasound – Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields If we have a bone injury we almost always have to take a picture………. GET THE RIGHT X-RAYS!! (VIEWS, WEIGHT BEARING VS NON-WEIGHT BEARING Fundamentals in the Roentgenological Study Of Trauma

• Any bone: Obtain a minimum to one another of two views at 90 degrees • Paired Long Bones: Desirable to see entire shaft of both bones, include joint nearest the injury • Joint injuries: Need minimum of four views, particularly for the detection of vertical fractures which involve the articular surface • Axial or Tangential Views: for certain bones such as : , calcaneus, olecranon process of ulna, ribs, skull, nasal bones, mandibular condyles, etc. • Referred Pain Mechanism in Hip and Knee Injuries: Hip trauma by virtue of pain referred via the sciatic nerve can sometime produce knee pain. A patient with a hip injury may have referred knee pain, but it may also be due to a fracture in the distal end of the femur with referred pain in the hip. X-ray the entire femur. A fracture is identified….. WELL NOW WHAT DO I DO….TREAT OR NOT???? Goals of Fracture Treatment

• Prevent fracture and soft tissue complications – respect the soft tissue envelope!! • Get fracture to heal and in satisfactory position for optimal functional recovery • Intra-articular fractures frequently needs accurate reduction and rigid fixation– non- articular fracture of bone require anatomical reduction and stable fixation • Rehabilitate as early as possible by active and passive exercises • Restore patient to optimal functional state Potential Fracture Complications

• Arterial injuries – displaced fractures or dislocations of the elbow or knee • Nerve injury • Compartment Syndrome • Infection – open fractures • Skin tenting causing ischemia • Soft tissue damage • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome • Osteomyelitis – delayed • Blood Clot (DVT) – complication associated with immobilization /bracing Basic Tenets of Fracture Care

• Hold • Move • Speed • Safety Principles of Treatment

• Manipulation • Splints • Joint movement and function: must be preserved • Exercise and early weight bearing • Reduce! Hold! Exercise! Manipulation

• Closed manipulation is suitable for: – All minimally displaced fractures – Most fractures in children – Fractures that are likely to be stable after reduction • Unstable fractures are sometimes reduced “closed” prior to mechanical fixation • Three fold maneuver: anesthesia and muscle relaxation (REFER) – Distal part of the limb is pulled in the line of the bone – The fragments are repositioned as they disengage – Alignment is adjusted in each plane

Splintage/Cast

• Plaster of Paris is still used as a splint, especially for distal limb fractures and for most children's fractures (custom products – all in one) • “safe” – if not applied too tightly or unevenly • “holding” – not a problem • “negative” – joints encased in plaster cannot move and are liable to stiffen. Can cause pressure sores, skin abrasions or lacerations Splinting

• Plaster/Fiberglass splinting – Ulnar, radial gutter, thumb spica – Posterior splints – Hanging plaster, etc. • Commercial splints General Casting Routine

• Apply cast in position of function – (most of the times) • Repeat x-ray in 1 – 3 weeks depending on fracture and age of patient • Return in 3 – 5 weeks for x-ray out of cast. Check for callus formation, note any skin breakdown – palpate for tenderness at fracture site – review motor/sensory exam • May progress to plastic custom splint if warranted. • Begin early physical therapy

Casting Pitfalls

• Incorrect placement can lead to unnecessary stiffness of unaffected joints • Improperly applied • Poor post cast patient instructions/crutch instructions • Incorrect amount of time in cast/splint Casting Pearls

• Pad well/proximal distal cast • Use enough padding over bony prominences • Cover rough edges with stockinette • Trim cast before it sets • With short arm and thumb spica ,take time to well pad the thumb • Make weight bearing casts strong enough to weight bear! Always use a cast shoe! Functional Bracing

• Prevents while still permitting fracture splinting and loading • Most commonly used for fractures of the femur//fibula • Since not very rigid usually applied only when the fracture is beginning to unite • Think about cost!

Internal Fixation

• Holds securely with precise reduction • Movements can begin at once – (no stiffness or ) • Speed: patient can leave hospital as soon as wound is healed, full weight bearing is unsafe for some time • Safety: biggest is ! – Risk depends on patient, surgeon, facilities and the injury

Indications for Internal Fixation

• Fractures that cannot be reduced • Fractures that are inherently unstable and prone to re- displacement after reduction • Fractures that unit poorly and slowly • Pathological fractures • Multiple fractures • Fractures in patients who present severe nursing difficulties Complications of Internal Fixation

• Many are due to poor technique, equipment, or operating conditions • Infection – Iatrogenic infection is now the most common cause of chronic osteomyelitis • Non-union – Excessive stripping of the soft tissues – Unnecessary damage to the blood supply – Rigid fixation with a gap between the fragments • Implant Failure • Re-fracture External Fixation

• Permits adjustment of length and angulations • May allow reduction of the fracture in all three planes • Used frequently in long bones and the pelvis Indications External Fixation

• Fractures associated with severe soft-tissue damage where the wound can be left open for inspection, dressing, or definitive coverage • Severely comminuted and unstable fractures, which can held out to length until healing commences • Fractures of the pelvis, • Fractures associated with nerve or vessel damage • Infected fractures, for which internal fixation might not be suitable • Un-united fractures, where dead or sclerotic fragments can be excised and the remaining ends brought together in the external fixator Complications of External Fixation

• Requires high degree of training and skill – often used in the most difficult fractures which increases the likelihood of complications • Damage to soft-tissue structures • Over distraction – No contact between the fragments • Pin-track infection Fracture Healing Complications

• Delayed Union • Non-union • Mal-union • Post-traumatic arthritis • Growth abnormalities • Joint stiffness, non-use atrophy, Sudeck atrophy Fractures

• Most fractures associated with major skeletal trauma are evaluated in the emergency room • Nearly 1/2 of the population will experience a bony fracture at some time in their life • The 10 most common fractures account for 90% of all fractures • 10-15% of all fractures require open reduction and internal fixation Fractures that Present to Primary Care Practitioner • Avulsion fractures • Non-displaced fractures associated with severe • Vertebral compression fractures (osteoporosis) • Stress fractures in athletes, dancers, and military recruits • Segmental collapse fractures in avascular necrosis of the femoral head • Pathologic fractures of metastatic involvement of the spine, femur, tibia, and humerus Fracture Distribution

• Ankle 23% • Wrist 17% • Fingers 14% • Toes 7 % • Ribs 7 % • Knee 7 % • Clavicle 6 % • Elbow 6 % • Tarsus 3 % • Hip 2 % • Other 9 % Primary Care Management of Non- Surgical Fractures • Primary care general approach to fracture management – maximizing outcomes and minimizing risks (AKA – staying out of trouble) • Management of common upper and lower extremity fractures • Pediatric specific issues • Splinting and casting techniques • What supplies do I need in my office? • Billing issues with fracture management Avoid Risk

• In general, the following fracture issues and concerns increase the risk of problematic outcomes: – Missing surgical indications – Not recognizing complications of the soft tissue component – Intra-articular fractures – Comminuted fractures – Significant displacement or impaction fractures – Treatment of high risk fractures that are known for non- union complications: • Scaphoid, proximal fifth metatarsal, growth plate involvement Communication is Key!

• Have a relationship with an orthopedic provider • Digital imaging has improved the instantaneous sharing of information- use your smart phone! • Appropriate knowledge of bone descriptions – Describe findings anatomically – Use landmarks for positioning: styloids, tuberosities, joints, malleoli, condyles, etc. – Distal vs proximal – Lateral vs medial – Dorsal vs volar/plantar – Location on long bone (mid-shaft, distal, proximal, etc) Yes you have to…..Don’t call me if you don’t!!!!! LEARN THE LANGUAGE OF FRACTURE CARE….. Bone Description

• In growing bones: Metaphysis – end or neck of bones, Diaphysis is the shaft of the bones • In Immature bones: above plus: Physis is the growth plate and the Epiphysis is outside of the physis.. Fracture Description

• Transverse • Oblique • Spiral • Comminuted • Segmental • Avulsed • Impacted • Torus • Greenstick • Open/Closed • Stress • Pathologic Salter-Harris Classification: Epiphyseal Fractures • Type 1 – Through epiphyseal plate with displacement • Type 2 – Type 1 plus triangular segment of metaphysis is fractured • Type 3 – Runs from joint surface through epiphyseal plate and epiphysis • Type 4 – Type 3 but also through adjacent metaphysis • Type 5 – Crush injury of the metaphysis Fracture Description

• Displacement • Angulation(volar, dorsal, lateral) • Any intra-articular component Alignment or Angulation

• Describe relationship of fragments along the long axis of the bone • Degrees of angulations of the distal fragment in relation to the proximal fragment. Goniometer

• A must have tool • Most software programs will let you measure angles as well Position or Displacement

• Contact of the fracture surfaces • Amount of displacement – partial or complete • Percentage of surface displaced (mm or cm)– compare cortices Degree of Displacement

• The degree of displacement or angulations that can be accepted depends on the particular bone involved, and the age of the patient • 50% displacement and 30 degree angulations is the upper limit of acceptability for most bones – Depending on your experience, and for the sake of safety, you may pick 15 degrees of angulation or less as your upper limit.

Shortening or Distraction

• Fragments overriding each other • Separation of fragments that have been pulled apart. Intra-Articular Component

• Fracture goes through the joint line • Prone for traumatic osteoarthritis and Open Fractures

• Have contact with the external environment • Most commonly seen in high impact trauma • High risk for infection • Closed fractures – no communication with the external environment

Transverse Fracture

• Usually produced by bending force applied directly to the fracture site • Fracture line runs 90 degrees to long axis f the bone Oblique Fracture

• Usually are by torsional force applied at a angle the fracture site • Fracture runs at an angle less than 90 degrees to the long axis of the bone Spiral Fracture

• Produced by twisting or rotational forces

Greenstick Fracture

• Incomplete long bone fracture • Seen in children due to increased bone elasticity Torus/Buckle Fracture

• Buckled cortex • Caused by compression force on the long axis of the bone in children Comminuted Fracture

• Produced by direct trauma • A fracture into more than two pieces of bone Avulsion Fracture

• Produced by forcible resisted contraction of muscle that pulls off a fragment of bone at the muscle insertion Impacted Fracture

• Fracture ends are compressed together • Usually very stable Stress Fracture

• Caused by repetitive overuse leading to micro- fracture of the bone

Pathologic Fracture

• Occurs at the site of bone weakened by osteoporosis or tumor Fracture/Dislocation

• Fracture of the bone near a joint, also involving dislocation of the joint Rotation

• Described clinically by looking at the fractured extremity. Types of Healing

• Union: refers to healing of a fracture; clinical union permits resumption of limb motion (occurs earlier than radiographic union_ • Delayed healing : healing that takes longer than usual • Mal-union: healing of a fracture with residual deformity • Non-union: failure of a fracture to unit; false joint appears between the fracture ends – May have fibrous union with pain free normal function

Fractures You Should be Able to Treat!

Primary Care Fractures That Can Be Managed Non-Operatively General Categories: • All stress fractures – reduced running, standing, repetitious use • All non-displaced extra-articular fractures – Casting for 3 to 6 weeks • Most small avulsion fractures – casting for 2 – 4 weeks • Some non-displaced, single-fragment intra- articular fractures – casting for 4 – 6 weeks
