Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

Urinary Tract Calculi II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

Urinary Tract Calculi II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

Renal calculi, commonly termed kidney stones, are crystalline solid masses that form in the kidneys but can occur at any point within the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.The pathophysiology of renal stones involves several key factors: supersaturation of the urine with stone-forming constituents, changes in urine pH, a decrease in urine volume, and the presence of substances that promote or inhibit stone formation.Supersaturation of Urine: This is the...

Sympathetic Pathways: Sympathetic Chain Ganglia

Sympathetic Pathways: Sympathetic Chain Ganglia

The sympathetic chain ganglia, also known as the sympathetic trunk ganglia or paravertebral ganglia, are a series of ganglia located bilaterally on either side of the spinal column. These ganglia serve as relay stations for the sympathetic nervous system. Preganglionic neurons originating in the spinal cord project their axons to the sympathetic chain ganglia. Within the ganglia, these preganglionic fibers synapse with postganglionic neurons.The postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic trunk...

Ankle Joint

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Summary

A 93-year-old woman presented with acute fever, wrist pain, and swelling. Diagnosis revealed calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition in the wrist.

Area of Science:

Rheumatology
Crystal-induced arthritis

Background:

Crystal-induced arthritis can present with acute symptoms mimicking infectious processes.
Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition disease is a common form of inflammatory arthritis.

Observation:

A 93-year-old female experienced sudden onset fever, left wrist pain, and swelling.
Examination showed symmetric digit swelling, partial flexion, flexor tendon sheath tenderness, and pain on passive extension.

Findings:

Synovial fluid analysis revealed the presence of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals.
This finding confirmed a diagnosis of acute calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease.

Implications:

Prompt diagnosis and management of CPPD are crucial to prevent joint damage.
