Intra-articular apatite deposition in mixed connective tissue disease: crystallographic and technetium scanning characteristics.
An acute arthritis in a patient with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) was found to be associated with intra-articular deposition of carbonated hydroxyapatite crystals. A technetium hydroxymethylene diphosphonate bone scan showed intense uptake in the delayed phase scan of the affected joints. Synovial fluid analysis demonstrated uptake of the radiopharmaceutical drug directly onto the cry...
متن کاملAcute synovitis with intra-articular apatite deposits in an osteoarthritic metacarpophalangeal joint.
A patient was shown to have acute arthritis in a metacarpophalangeal joint, with local calcification indicated by x-rays. Surgical and pathological examinations showed strictly intra-articular apatite crystal deposits and an erosive osteoarthritis. These crystal deposits could account for the synovial inflammation; they are thought to be related to bone fragments embedded in the synovium. The p...
متن کاملCalcium Apatite Deposition Disease: Diagnosis and Treatment
Calcium apatite deposition disease (CADD) is a common entity characterized by deposition of calcium apatite crystals within and around connective tissues, usually in a periarticular location. CADD most frequently involves the rotator cuff. However, it can theoretically occur in almost any location in the musculoskeletal system, and many different locations of CADD have been described. When CADD...
متن کاملExtraosseous Intra-Articular Osteochondroma
Background. Conventional osteochondromas are common bone lesions developing in the metaphyseal region of growing skeleton. Marginal excision is the treatment of choice for such tumours. Extraosseous cartilaginous tumours are rare and their biological potential is poorly characterized. Case Presentation. A-52-year old woman presented with 3-year history of fullness and dull pain and inability to...
متن کاملCorrective Osteotomy for Intra-Articular Distal Humerus Malunion
Background: An intra-articular distal humerus malunion can be disabling. To improve function, reduce pain and/ or prevent further secondary osteoarthritis an intra-articular corrective osteotomy can be considered. Herein we present the indications, practical guidelines for pre- operative planning and surgical technique. Subsequently, we provide long-term results in a small series. Meth...
