1.4 Short Answer Questions

1) Why are epiphyseal plates considered temporary joints?

Answer: Once long bone growth in length is complete, the cartilage of the epiphyseal plates
completely ossifies to become a permanent connection between the bones.

2) A friend finally completes a basement floor tiling project that required extensive time on his
knees. Afterwards, knee pain took him to a doctor who diagnosed bursitis. Help explain to your
friend what bursitis is and what can be done to relieve it.
Answer: Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa. Repeated pressure and friction on the knee while
completing the project caused damage to the prepatellar bursa. This can be treated by avoiding
pressure to the area and injection of anti-inflammatory drugs into the bursa. If significant fluid
accumulates, aspiration may be required to relieve pressure.

3) After months of very little exercise, you decide to go for a long run. After a mile, you start to
feel pain in your kneecap area. What could explain this?
Answer: Muscle tone is very important for stabilizing the knee joint. The long time off allowed
the muscles whose tendons span the knee joint to weaken and lose that stabilizing force. Running
should stop until the muscles can be reconditioned. Then the distance should be short at first and
increased incrementally.

5) How can osteoarthritis be treated?

Answer: In many cases, symptoms can be controlled with over-the-counter pain relievers, along
with moderate exercise to keep joints mobile. Although the nutritional supplements glucosamine
and chondroitin sulfate are used by many arthritis sufferers, recent studies show that effects are
not statistically significant when compared with placebo.

7) Briefly describe the structure of a typical synovial joint.

Answer: The ends of each bone are covered with hyaline cartilage that is continuous with the
synovial membrane enclosing the joint. Synovial fluid fills the space between the articular
cartilage. Outside the synovial membrane there is a very tough, fibrous capsule that prevents the
synovial membrane from bulging out as pressure is applied to the ends of the bones.

8) Although uric acid is a normal waste product of nucleic acid metabolism, excessive levels lead
to gouty arthritis. How does this waste product build up and cause so much pain when things go
wrong and why is it more common in men?
Answer: Blood levels of uric acid increase due to excessive production or slow excretion. Males
have higher blood levels of uric acid than females because estrogens are thought to increase the
rate of uric acid excretion. When blood levels of uric acid rise excessively, it is deposited as
needle-shaped urate crystals in the soft tissues of joints. This causes an inflammatory response
and pain, typically at one joint at the base of the great big toe.

10) Greg is somewhat of a "weekend athlete" who has overextended himself by pitching multiple
baseball games for a local team during the week and by playing golf on the weekends for several
25

hours. He presented himself to the emergency room last week with severe shoulder pain (at the
glenohumeral joint). The physician told him that the X-ray was not conclusive, but he may have
damage to his rotator cuff. What is the rotator cuff, and how might he have caused this damage?
What remedies will the physician recommend?
Answer: Greg has either stretched or torn his rotator cuff. He will be told to rest for a few
months, and if the pain does not subside, surgery will be necessary. The rotator cuff is made up
of four tendons that belong to the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor
muscles and encircle the shoulder joint. They are vulnerable to damage when the arm is
circumducted vigorously. Greg is obviously overdoing his activities by pitching multiple
baseball games per week and playing golf on weekends.

11) Why is muscle tone the most important stabilizing factor for most joints?
Answer: The shapes of the articular surfaces may hinder rather than help joint stability.
Ligaments can stretch and reduce stability. Muscle tendons are kept taut at all times by the tone
of their muscle.

1.5 Clinical Questions

1) Steven, a football player, complained of severe pain and the inability to use his right arm and
shoulder after having been tackled during a game. What would you guess might be his problem?
Answer: He might have suffered a shoulder dislocation since the shoulder joint has sacrificed
stability for flexibility.

2) Mary has been suffering from a "bad knee" for several months. She is a tennis player who
often slides in to attack a ball; she is an aerobic devotee and a jogger. She visited an orthopedic
surgeon last week who told her that he would "like to have a look at her knee joint." He also told
her that her symptoms indicated damage to the meniscus, and it might have to be removed. What
will the doctor do to see the joint, and if the meniscus is removed will Mary be able to play
tennis again?
Answer: The doctor will perform arthroscopic surgery on Mary in order to view the interior of
the joint. If she has severely damaged the meniscus, it can be removed with little impairment to

the knee except some loss in stability. However, over the long term, the lack of weight
distribution by the missing meniscus increases the likelihood of osteoarthritis in her knee. Mary
might consider taking up swimming instead.

3) Farhad begins typing his term paper on his new computer early one morning. After 8 hours of
typing, he notices that his wrists are stiff and very sore. The next morning, Farhad begins to
finish his paper, but soon finds his wrists hurt worse than last night. What is wrong?
Answer: Farhad is suffering from tendonitis. If he continues to use the keyboard incorrectly, the
tendonitis could develop into the more serious condition called carpal tunnel syndrome.

4) Probenecid inhibits the active resorption of uric acid in the kidney, which leads to increased
urinary excretion of uric acid. Explain why this drug would be useful in treating gout.
Answer: Uric acid, a normal waste product of nucleic acid metabolism, is ordinarily excreted in
urine without any problem. However, when blood levels of uric acid rise excessively, it may be
deposited as needle-shaped urate crystals in the soft tissue of joints. An inflammatory response
follows, which leads to gout. By lowering the uric acid level, no crystals form, and inflammation
subsides.

5) Maggie is a 28-year-old Caucasian woman who has newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis. She
complains of painful, stiff hands and feet, feeling tired all the time, and reports an intermittent
low-grade fever. She asks the nurse if she is going to be "crippled." How might the nurse explain
the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis?
Answer: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, and inflammatory disorder. RA is an
autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissue. RA begins with
inflammation of the synovial membrane of the affected joints. Fluid accumulates, causing joint
swelling. The nurse should explain that RA is a chronic crippling disease with joint stiffening
(ankylosis) resulting in restriction of joint movement and extreme pain.
