Imaging findings in patients with a combination of synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) are often misinterpreted as discitis/osteomyelitis or metastases, resulting in multiple biopsies and delayed diagnosis. (ajnr.org)
SAPHO was proposed to refer to a combination of synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis as a heading for these syndromes. (ajnr.org)
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyse the radiological characteristics and clinical diversity of Japanese patients with synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome, a heterogeneous disorder. (bvsalud.org)
CONCLUSION: Sternoclavicular hyperostosis and pustulosis are frequently observed in patients with SAPHO syndrome. (bvsalud.org)
Chest wall2
Joint involvement tends to occur most commonly in the hips, shoulders, and joints of the chest wall, including the acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joints, and often occurs in the first 10 years of disease. (medscape.com)
This presentation is in contradistinction to that in adults in whom the anterior chest wall, including the sternoclavicular and manubriosternal junctions, is most commonly affected. (ajnr.org)
Instability1
Interdisciplinary consensus statements on imaging of scapholunate joint instability. (ucdavis.edu)
Spinal1
Patients with generalized arthritis usually have the distal interphalangeal joints of the fingers involved, the base of the thumbs, the first great toe joint, the spinal facet joints, knees, and hips. (ptandme.com)
Primary1
The primary problems with OA are joint pain and stiffness. (ptandme.com)
Commonly2
The large joints of the hip and the knee are most commonly affected (in more than half of the cases), but any joint can be involved. (medscape.com)
The other joints are less commonly affected, particularly if they are not moveable joints. (ptandme.com)
Shoulder1
Coronal T2-weighted fat-saturated MRI of the shoulder demonstrates a joint effusion, bone marrow edema, and marked adjacent soft tissue inflammation with a fluid collection in the infraspinatus muscle. (medscape.com)
Worse2
MRSA joint infection seems to be associated with worse outcomes. (medscape.com)
Pain from patellofemoral joint OA is made worse by prolonged sitting, standing up from a low chair, and climbing stairs or inclines (coming down often being more painful than going up). (ptandme.com)
Neck1
The joints that are particularly a problem for OA include the knees, hips, interphalangeal (hand) joints, facet joints of the neck and back, first great toe joint, and thumb joints. (ptandme.com)
Capsule1
The synovial membrane lining the joint capsule produces the synovial fluid that fills these cavities. (wikipedia.org)
Diagnosis2
Clinical evaluation and joint fluid aspiration are the key to the diagnosis. (medscape.com)
Diagnosis of Polymyalgia rheumatica is initiated with the physical exam and joint and neurological exam of patients. (diseaselandscape.com)
Articular4
The unique feature of the temporomandibular joint is the articular disc. (wikipedia.org)
The temporomandibular joints are one of the few synovial joints in the human body with an articular disc, another being the sternoclavicular joint. (wikipedia.org)
The lower joint compartment formed by the mandible and the articular disc is involved in rotational movement-this is the initial movement of the jaw when the mouth opens. (wikipedia.org)
The upper joint compartment formed by the articular disc and the temporal bone is involved in translational movement-this is the secondary gliding motion of the jaw as it is opened widely. (wikipedia.org)
Soft tissue1
There is subacute or insidious pain with soft tissue swelling and numbness of multiple finger joints. (ptandme.com)
Hips1
Involvement of the hips and shoulders may result in joint damage with radiographic changes. (medscape.com)
Bone4
Coronal short-tau inversion recovery MRI of the pubic symphysis demonstrates a hyperintense joint effusion and increased signal intensity in the bone marrow of the pubic rami. (medscape.com)
A wide variety of bone and joint manifestations has been described. (ajnr.org)

It allows for detection of the usual features of OA (including osteophyte formation, cysts on the bone, and joint space narrowing). (ptandme.com)
Redness2
Diffuse swelling and redness centered at the right MTP joint, but extending over much of the foot. (blogspot.com)
Diffuse swelling and redness centered at the left MTP joint. (blogspot.com)
Pain4
The pain often begins unilaterally and intermittently, and generally begins in the lumbosacral region (SI joints). (medscape.com)

Osteoarthritis of the hip can be seen as increased pain, stiffness, aching sensation, and restricted movement of the hip joint. (ptandme.com)

Arthritis4
The sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) is another common site of septic arthritis, involved in 0.5-1.0% of all joint infections. (medscape.com)
There are several types of arthritis, which can be defined as an inflammation, degeneration, or infection of a joint. (ptandme.com)
Some types of arthritis just affect a few joints and are called oligoarthritis. (ptandme.com)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is slowly-developing form of arthritis that can affect nearly every joint and that can affect individuals as they age. (ptandme.com)
Signal intensity1
Abnormal high signal intensity is also present in the bilateral hip adductor muscles. (medscape.com)
Symptoms1
Symptoms can affect just one joint or several joints. (ptandme.com)
Infection2
Infection can lead to rapid and severe joint destruction. (medscape.com)
This was caused by tuberculoid infection of the joint. (medscape.com)
Patients2
[ 1 ] It is more prevalent in patients who are elderly (80 years or older), have prosthetic joints, have undergone joint surgery, have immunocompromised states such as HIV, have skin infections, or have autoimmune diseases. (medscape.com)
Erosive OA has a worsened outcome than regular OA and can be seen on x-ray showing joint erosions (wearing down) in up to 8% of patients. (ptandme.com)
Clinical1
The main clinical marker for OA is Heberden's nodes, which are hard lumps at the distal finger joints. (ptandme.com)
Knee1
Anteroposterior view of the knee demonstrates patchy demineralization of the tibia and femur and joint-space narrowing. (medscape.com)
Problems1
This ligament prevents excessive retraction or moving backward of the mandible, a situation that might lead to problems with the joint. (wikipedia.org)
