Pathology of Orthopedic Implants Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: In adults, woven bone is seen _____ and in Paget disease.

Answer: after fractures

Flashcard 2: What is the earliest pathological change seen in osteoarthritis?

Answer: Fibrillation of the articular cartilage

Extra: The earliest biochemical changes in osteoarthritis are increased water content and decreased proteoglycans. This leads to the earliest morphological (pathological) change, known as fibrillation (cracking and splitting of the superficial layers of cartilage).

Flashcard 3: _____ is a calcium staining technique used to distinguish osteoid from mineralized bone.

Answer: Von Kossa stain

Extra: The **Von Kossa stain** is used to identify mineralized bone (stains black due to silver reduction by phosphates/carbonates), helping distinguish it from the non-mineralized **osteoid**. Another important stain for this purpose is **Goldner's Trichrome**, which colors mineralized bone green and osteoid red. *Note: While Von Kossa is technically a stain for the anions (phosphates/carbonates) associated with calcium, it is the standard method for demonstrating mineralization.*

Flashcard 4: _____ is the most common cause of non-healing in chronic osteomyelitis.

Answer: Sequestrum

Flashcard 5: The most common site of infection in acute hematogenous osteomyelitis is the _____.

Answer: metaphysis

Flashcard 6: Large, malignant chondrocytes on histology with clear cytoplasm, numerous osteoclast-type giant cells and intralesional reactive bone formation is seen in _____

Answer: Clear cell chondrosarcoma

Flashcard 7: One complication of _____ is osteitis fibrosa cystica, which is characterized by bone pain and cystic bone spaces filled with brown fibrous tissue

Answer: hyperparathyroidism

Flashcard 8: Osteoclasts may tunnel and dissect centrally along bony trabeculae resulting in railroad track appearance, also called as _____, seen in hyperparathyroidism

Answer: dissecting osteitis

Flashcard 9: _____ in chronic osteomyelitis is formed from deep layers of stripped periosteum

Answer: Involucrum

Flashcard 10: Interosseous membrane ossification is characteristic of _____.

Answer: fluorosis
