Emergency Medicine
Objectives
6. Describe typical findings in a
patient with fibromyalgia
7. Describe typical findings in a
patient with reflex sympathetic
dystrophy
6
Emergency Medicine
Sports
Society more athletic
Physical activity health benefits
Overuse syndromes increase
25% to 50% of participants will
experience tendonitis or bursitis
7
Emergency Medicine
Workplace
Musculoskeletal disorders from…
…repetitive motions
…localized contact stress
…awkward positions
…vibrations
…forceful exertions
Ergonomic design incidence 8
Emergency Medicine
Bursae
Closed, round, flat sacs
Lined by synovium
May or may not communicate with
synovial cavity
Occur at areas of friction between
skin and underlying ligaments /
bone 9
Emergency Medicine
Bursae
Permit lubricated movement over
areas of potential impingement
Many are nameless
~78 on each side of body
New bursae may form anywhere
from frequent irritation
10
Emergency Medicine
Bursitis
Inflamed by…
…chronic friction
…trauma
…crystal
deposition
…infection
…systemic
disease:
rheumatoid
arthritis,
psoriatic
arthritis, gout
ankylosing
spondylitis
11
Emergency Medicine
Bursitis
Inflammation causes
bursal synovial cells to
thicken
Excess fluid
accumulates inside and
around affected bursae
12
Bemoeial (Wikipedia)
Emergency Medicine
Tendons
Tendon sheaths composed of
same synovial cells as bursae
Inflamed in similar manner
Tendonitis: inflammation of tendon
only
Tenosynovitis: inflammation of
tendon plus its sheath 13
Emergency Medicine
Tendons
Inflammatory changes involving
sheath well documented
Inflammatory lesions of tendon
alone not well documented
Distinction uncertain: terms
tendonitis and tenosynovitis used
interchangeably
14
Emergency Medicine
Tendons
Most overuse syndromes are NOT
inflammatory
Biopsy: no inflammatory cells
High glutamate concentrations
NSAIDs / steroids: no advantage
TendonITIS a misnomer
15
Emergency Medicine
Bursitis / Tendonitis
Most common causes:
mechanical overload and
repetitive microtrauma
Most injuries
multifactorial
17
Emergency Medicine
Bursitis / Tendonitis
Intrinsic factors: malalignment,
poor muscle flexibility, muscle
weakness or imbalance
Extrinsic factors: design of
equipment or workplace and
excessive duration, frequency, or
intensity of activity
18
Emergency Medicine
Immediate Phase
Release of chemotactic and
vasoactive chemical mediators
Vasodilation and cellular edema
PMNs perpetuate process
Lasts 48 hours to 2 weeks
Repetitive insults prolong
inflammatory stage 19
Emergency Medicine
Healing Phase
Classic inflammatory signs: pain,
warmth, erythema, swelling
Healing goes through proliferative
and maturation
6 to 12 weeks: organization and
collagen cross-linking mature to
preinjury strength
20
Emergency Medicine
History
Changes in sports activity, work
activities, or workplace
Cause not always found
Pregnancy, quinolone therapy,
connective tissue disorders,
systemic illness
21
Emergency Medicine
History
Most common complaint: PAIN
Acute or chronic
Frequently more severe after
periods of rest
May resolve quickly after initial
movement only to become
throbbing pain after exercise 22
Emergency Medicine
Articular vs. Periarticular
In joint capsule
Joint pain / warmth /
swelling
Worse with active &
passive movement
All parts of joint
involved
Periarticular
Pain not uniform
across joint
Pain only certain
movements
Pain character &
radiation vary
23
Emergency Medicine
Physical Exam
Careful palpation
Range of motion
Heat, warmth, redness
24
Emergency Medicine
Lab Studies
Screening tests: CBC, CRP, ESR
Chronic rheumatic disease: mild
anemia
Rheumatoid factor, antinuclear
antibody, antistreptolysin O titers,
and Lyme serologies for follow-up
Serum uric acid: not helpful 25
Emergency Medicine
Synovial Fluid
Especially crystalline, suppurative
etiology
Appearance, cell count and diff,
crystal analysis, Gram’s stain
–Positive Gram’s: diagnostic
–Negative Gram’s: cannot rule out
26
Emergency Medicine
Management
Rest
Pain relief: meds, heat, cold
No advantage to NSAIDs
Exceptions: olecranon bursitis and
prepatellar bursitis have a
moderate risk of being infected
(Staphylococcus aureus) 27
Emergency Medicine
Management
Shoulder: immobilize few days
–Risk of adhesive capsulitis
Lateral epicondylitis: forearm
brace
Olecranon bursitis: compression
dressing
28
Emergency Medicine
Management
De Quervain’s: splint wrist and
thumb in 20o dorsiflexion
Achilles tendonitis: heel lift or splint
in slight plantar flexion
29
Emergency Medicine
Local
Injection 30
Emergency Medicine
Local Injection
Lidocaine or steroid injection can
overcome refractory pain
Steroids universally given, often
with great success
No good prospective data to
support or refute therapeutic
benefit
31
Emergency Medicine
Local Injection
Short course of oral steroid may
produce statistically similar results
Primary goal of steroid injection:
relieve pain so patient can
participate in physical rehab
32
Emergency Medicine
Local Injection
Adjunct to other modalities: pain
control, PT, exercise, OT, relative
rest, immobilization
Additional pain control: NSAIDs,
acupuncture, ultrasound, ice, heat,
electrical nerve stimulation
33
Emergency Medicine
Local Injection
Analgesics + exercise: better
results than exercise alone
Eliminate provoking factors
Avoid repeat steroid injection
unless good prior response
Wait at least 6 weeks between
injections in same site 34
Emergency Medicine
Indications
Diagnosis
Obtain fluid for analysis
Eliminate referred pain
Therapy
Give pain relief
Deliver therapeutic agents
35
Emergency Medicine
Contraindication: Absolute
Bacteremia
Infectious arthritis
Periarticular cellulitis
Adjacent osteomyelitis
Significant bleeding disorder
Hypersensitivity to steroid
Osteochondral fracture 36
Emergency Medicine
Contraindication: Relative
Violation of skin integrity
Chronic local infection
Anticoagulant use
Poorly controlled diabetes
Internal joint derangement
Hemarthrosis
Preexisting tendon injury
Partial tendon rupture 37
Emergency Medicine
Preparations
Local anesthetic
Hydrocortisone / corticosteroid
Rapid anti-inflammatory effect
Categorized by solubility and
relative potency
High solubility short duration
–Absorbed, dispersed more rapidly 38
Emergency Medicine
Preparations
Triamcinolone hexacetonide: least
soluble, longest duration
–Potential for subcutaneous atrophy
– Intra-articular injections only
Methylprednisolone acetate
(Depo-Medrol®): reasonable first
choice for most ED indications
39
Emergency Medicine
Dosage
Large bursa: subacromial,
olecranon, trochanteric: 40 – 60
mg methylprednisolone
Medium or wrist, knee, heel
ganglion: 10 – 20 mg
Tendon sheath: de Quervain,
flexor tenosynovitis: 5 – 15 mg
40
Emergency Medicine
Site Preparation
Use careful aseptic technique
Mark landmarks with skin pencil,
tincture of iodine, or thimerosal
(Merthiolate®) (sterile Q-tip)
Clean point of entry: povidone-
iodine (Betadine®) and alcohol
Do not need sterile drapes 41
Emergency Medicine
Technique
Make skin wheal: 1% lidocaine or 0.25% bupivacaine OR…
…use topical vapocoolant: e.g., Fluori-Methane®
Use Z-tract technique: limits risk of soft tissue fistula
Agitate syringe prior to injection: steroid can precipitate or layer
42
Emergency Medicine
Complications: Acute
Reaction to anesthetic: rare
–Treat as in standard textbooks
Accidental IV injection
Vagal reaction: have patient flat
Nerve injury: pain, paresthesias
Post injection flare: starts in hours,
gone in days (~2%) 43
Emergency Medicine
Complications: Delayed
Localized subcutaneous or
cutaneous atrophy at injection site
Small depression in skin with
depigmentation, transparency, and
occasional telangiectasia
–Evident in 6 weeks to 3 months
–Usually resolve within 6 months
–Can be permanent 44
Emergency Medicine
Complications: Delayed
Tendon rupture: low risk (<1%)
Dose-related
Related to direct tendon injection?
Limit injections to no more than
once every 3 to 4 months
Avoid major stress-bearing
tendons: Achilles, patellar 45
Emergency Medicine
Complications: Delayed
Systemic absorption slower than with oral steroids
Can suppress hypopituitary-adrenal axis for 2 to 7 days
Can exacerbate hyperglycemia in diabetes
Abnormal uterine bleeding reported
