Systemic Diseases and Musculoskeletal System Johan van Rensburg
Diabetes Mellitus • Intrinsic complications • Conditions with increased incidence
Intrinsic complications Neuro-vascular prominent
Diabetic cheiroathropathy (diabetic hand syndrome of limited joint mobility)
Diabetic arthropathy: neuropathic joint disease, feet (clinical and radiograph)
Diabetic amyotrophy Diabetic neuropathy characterized by painful muscle wasting and weakness. It affects the lower limbs and is typically asymmetric.
Conditions with increased incidence • Increased deposition of abnormal protein • Increase in growth factors • Decreased immunity
Thyroid • Hypothyroidism • Hyperthyroidism
Hypothyroidism • Tunnel (carpal) syndrome • Raynaud's phenomenon • Aching muscle with findings indistinguishable of fibromyalgia • Proximal muscle weakness and stiffness with elevated CK • Myxedematous arthropathy in severe hypothyroidism • Auto-immune thyroiditis and other auto-immune diseases
Hyperthyroidism • Thyroid acropachy (1%) • Painless proximal muscle weakness • Osteoporosis • Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder
Hyperparathyroidism • Painless proximal muscle weakness • (Normal CK BUT Myopathic or neuropathic EMG) • Chondrocalcinosis with pseudogout attacks (usually due to CPPD) • Osteogenic synovitis due to subchondral bony collapse from thinning of bone (leading to secondary OA) • Osteoporosis • Ectopic soft-tissue calcification
Hypoparathyroidism • Hypocalcaemia
Acromegaly • Raynaud's Phenomenon Secondary OA Proximal muscle weakness with normal CK Carpal tunnel syndrome
Acromegaly Chondrocalcinosis
Cushing's Syndrome Osteoporosis Steroid withdrawal syndrome Osteonecrosis Proximal muscle weakness
Bone pain (worse at night) • Hypercoagulabilty • Antiphosfolipid syndrome • Sickle cell disease • Leukemia • Mieloma
Sickle-cell disease: bone infarcts, upper tibiae (radiograph)
Infections • TB • Osteomielitis • Spinal involvement • Brucella • Sero-negative arthritis • Involvement of the spine • Virus • Myopathy
Electrolyte disorders • Myopathies • Low Potassium • Low magnesium • Low/high calcium
Amyloidosis • Associated with • Chronic dialysis • Mieloproliferative diseases • Chronic inflammation
