ACUTELOWEREXTREMITYPATHOLOGIC FRACTURESSECONDARYTOMETASTATIC MALIGNANTDISEASE
Malignant diseases include both “solid” tumors arising in tissue parenchyma and “liquid” tumorsarising in thebloodstream.Spread ofcancerousmetastases tobone iscommon with
primarylung,prostate,kidney, thyroid, andbreastmalignancies12;bonyinvolvementis also common inmultiplemyeloma,andcanbeseeninassociationwithlymphoma andleukemia. Althoughbenignbonelesionscanalsocompromisethestructuralintegrityofbonescomprising the appendicular skeleton, metastatic malignant disease must always be considered with suddentransversefemoralortibialfracturesprecipitatedbyapplicationofminimalforce.
Malignancies metastatic to bone may weaken its architecture, often by stimulating osteoclaststhatbreakdownhealthybonetissueandreleasecalciumintotheblood.Metastases canalso stimulateosteoblastic activity, causing abnormal bonegrowth. Diseased bone may have focal points of weakness, where minimal rather than substantial force may prove sufficienttofracturelongbones.
Presentation
Patientswilltypicallypresentcomplainingoflongbonedeformityandseverepain,suddenin onset after exposure to minimal force. Patients mayreport occurrence during an otherwise normal preceding activity, such as jogging, walking, or cutting to change direction while running.Patientswithpathologiclowerextremityfracturesmayreportsuddenlyfallingdown, withsubsequentinabilitytoambulate.Somepatientswillbeunawareofanunderlyingcancer diagnosisatthetimeofpresentation;therefore,theclinician’sindexofsuspicionmustremain highwhencaringforpatientswithlongbonefractureswhogiveahistoryofminimalpreceding trauma.
SignsandSymptoms
Beforepresenting acutely with long bone fractures,patientswith malignancies metastaticto bone may present with constitutional symptoms common to many cancers, or with symptomatologyspecifictothegivenprimarycancer.Patientswithmalignanciesmetastaticto thelongbonesofthelowerextremitiesmayalsonotethighpain,forelegpain,orpaininoneor

more joints. Additionally, some patients may exhibit signs and symptoms of hypercalcemia secondarytoosteoclastactivity.
Tests
Radiologictestscanoftenreveal irregularitiesconsistentwith metastatic disease inpatients whosuffer pathologicfractures,typicallydemonstrating a fracture linethrough theabnormal bone. Often noted is cortical thinning, endosteal reabsorption, and cystic-appearing lytic lesions. Plain films will often suffice to reveal the pathologic fracture, whereas advanced imaging,suchascomputedtomography(CT)ormagneticresonanceimaging(MRI),canserve toprovideadditionaldetailsusefulinplanningfracturefixation(Fig.19-2).
Radiographic imaging may also suggest to the examiner which or what type ofprimary malignancy may underlie a pathologic fracture, although a definitive diagnosis requires examinationoftheaffectedtissueunderamicroscope.Assessingfortheprimarymalignancyin patientswithpathologic bonefracturesofteninvolveslaboratorytestingaimedatmeasuring thebiomarkersofspecificmalignantdiseases,andotherscreeningtests.
Severalprimarycancersarecommonlyassociatedwithbonymetastases,withcancersof the breast,prostate,andlungcomprisingover80%ofthe malignanciesmetastatictobone.
13
Abnormal screening testsforanyof these cancers inpatientswhohave suffered pathologic longbonefracturescanleadtoapresumptivecancerdiagnosis.Examplesofsuchtestsinclude prostate-specific antigen levelstoscreenforprostatecancer,mammographyorultrasoundto screenforbreastcancer,low-doseCTscanningtoscreenforlungcancer,andurinecytologyto screenforkidneycancer.

TreatmentsandTherapies
Initially, the patient should be assessed for neurovascular compromise, and orthopedic consultationshouldbeobtainedimmediately.Paincontrol andreductionandsplintingofthe affected extremity should be performed in a timely fashion. The definitive treatment of pathologic lower extremity long bone fractures is primarily orthopedic, focused on open reductionandinternalfracturefixationusingorthopedichardware.
Thegeneraltreatmentofbonymetastasesmayincluderadiationtherapyand/orradioactive injectiontherapytodestroycancercells,bisphosphonatetherapytodecreasetherateofbone
reabsorption,andtumorablativetherapies.
14
Treatment of the primary malignancy is often considered on a case-by-case basis, as pathologicfractures occurring secondaryto malignant disease that hasmetastasizedtobone are,bydefinition,associatedwithatumorthathasspreadbeyonditssiteoforigin.Removalof a primary tumorthat hasalreadymetastasizeddoes not rid the bodyofcancer, andis often undertaken only for palliative reasons. The approach to treatment of the primary cancer in patients with pathologic fractures is therefore practically identical to the treatment of metastaticdiseasewithoutfracture.

ACUTELOWEREXTREMITYJOINTPAINAND SWELLINGASAMANIFESTATIONOFLYMEDISEASE
Lyme disease, also knownasborreliosis, is causedby bloodstream infection with Borrelia burgdorferi, a bacterium that infects mice and other mammals, and is often carried in the
salivaryglandsofblack-leggedticksoftheIxodesgenus.15IntheUnitedStates,I. scapularis and I. pacificus species serve as a vector of transmission to humans. Ticks acquire the infectionwhilefeedingoninfectedanimals,andthentransmittheinfectiontohumansandother animalsduringsubsequentfeedings.
Patientswhofind atickattachedmaytakestepstoremovethetick,andmayalsotake a prophylacticantibioticdosetopreventLymedisease.Thosewhonevernoticetheattachedtick maybeunawareofthepossibleexposuretoB.burgdorferi,andmaythereforeneverpresentto initiateearlytreatment.Shouldpatientsmissorfailtorecognizeearlysymptoms,suchasthe hallmarkerythema migransrashor theless specific influenza-likeillness, they mayinstead presentlaterwithcomplaintsrelatedtodisseminatedinfection,includingpaininoneormore joints.
Lymearthritisistypicallycharacterizedasanintermittentoligoarticulararthritisprimarily affectinglargejoints.Thekneesarethemostcommonlyinvolvedjoints;painfulswellingand decreased rangeof motionis often seen.Although initial arthritis symptoms maybe dueto activebacterialinfection,chronicarthritissymptomsmaybethesequelaeofaninflammatory reactiontothecausativebacteriainLymedisease,causingdamagetothecartilageliningjoint articularsurfaces;repeatedcyclesofinflammationmighttriggerprogressiveirreversiblejoint

Tests
TheCentersforDiseaseControlandPrevention(CDC)recommendsatwo-stepapproachto testing for thepresence of Lyme disease, based on the idea that immunocompetent patients exposed to B.burgdorferi will subsequently develop antibodies to counter the infection,
whereas patients not previouslyexposedwill notcarrythesespecific antibodies18(see Fig. 19-1).Enzyme-linkedimmunosorbentassay(ELISA)testsareconsideredreliableinexcluding diseaseexposurewhennegative,butrequireconfirmationwhenpositive.PositiveELISAtests arefollowedbyWesternblotanalysis,toensurethattheantibodiesfoundthroughELISAare trulydirectedagainstB.burgdorferibacteria.
Polymerasechainreaction(PCR)canalsobeusedtodetectinfectionwithB.burgdorferi, by replicating and amplifying bacterial DNA present in synovial and cerebrospinal fluid. However,PCRiserrorprone,andconsideredlessreliablethanserologyforthedetectionof B.burgdorferi bacteria. PCRis not recommended bythe CDCor cleared bythe Foodand

Hypercoagulability describes an increased propensity to form clots within the circulatory system. Also known as thrombophilia, several genetic conditions are associated with the
https://t.me/medicina_free
prothrombotic state that defines hypercoagulability; numerous acquired risk factors for developingclotsinthebloodstreamhavealsobeenidentified.Whethercongenitaloracquired, many hypercoagulable patients remain unaware of an increased risk of clot formation until afterreceivinganunexpectedrelateddiagnosis.

http://www.cdc.gov/lyme/resources/twotieredtesting.pdf.AccessedJanuary17,2017.)
Although hypercoagulable disease states can increase the riskofthrombosis in both the arterial and venous circulatory subsystems, presenting symptoms may differ sufficiently to allow the clinician to surmise whether an arterial or venous thrombosis is the more likely causeofapatient’spresentation.Patientswithlowerextremitydeepvenousthrombosis(DVT)
will typically present with unilateral calf pain and swelling,22 although symptoms may be minimal or absent. Patients may also note localized erythema andwarmththat may appear clinicallysimilartocellulitisoftheforeleg.
PatientswithDVTofthelowerextremityareatriskforembolizationoftheclotintothe lungs.23Morespecifically,thethrombusmaymobilizefromthedeepveinsoftheleg,traveling

DVT should be considered in patients presenting with complaints of calf pain and swelling, particularly if the patient is known to have a disease associated with hypercoagulability or to have one or more prothrombotic risk factors. A high index of suspicionwhenevaluatingpatientswiththesesymptomsmaydecreasetheriskofmissingthe diagnosis.

Patients with lower extremity DVT maypresentwith any combination of calfpain,foreleg swelling, lower extremityerythema, and warmth, and theappearance of theaffected lower extremitymaycloselyresemblecellulitis(Fig.19-4).
Patients with these complaints are at increased risk of pulmonary embolism, and may report additional symptomatology such as chest pain, dyspnea, or hemoptysis. Although patientswithPEmayreporttheseorseveralothersymptoms,itisimportanttonotethatsome patients may remain asymptomatic, and clinicians must always consider the risk of silent embolization.
