Q

Subungual Hematoma

A
  • bleeding underneath toenail = pressure + pain
  • common in distance running + squash b/c of deceleration (toe hits end of toe box)

Can also be acute
- drop weight on it, get stepped on

Q

Treatment of Acute Subungual Hematoma

A
  • need to evacuate blood to decrease pressure
  • done w/ sterile heated paper clip
  • use pliers to hold clip
  • press into nail = blood will release
  • new nail will grow underneath and push old nail off

Q

Prevention of Ingrown Toenail

A

Proper Trimming

  1. Trim weekly by cutting STRAIGHT across
  2. Avoid rounding so margins don’t penetrate tissues on side
  3. Should be left long enough to clear underlying skin, but not too much that it pushes into sock

Q

Ingrown Toenail Treatment for Mild to Moderate cases

A
  1. soak in warm water to make tissue soft
  2. tease tissue back, away from nail
  3. take strand of cotton ball, wet it and roll until cylindrical

Q

Tape Method of Treatment for Ingrown Toenail

A
  • place one end of tape along the tip of lateral nail fold on affected side + tuck it slightly inside nail fold
  • pull nail fold gently outward to make insulated space btwn side of nail and nail fold + attach tape to side od big toe
  • then fix other end of tape to toe pad w/o stretching the tape

Q

Talus

A
  • NO muscles that attach to it
  • convex on top and concave on sides (better articulation + plantar/dorsiflexion)

Q

Fibula

A

with DORSIFLEXION
- fibula externally rotates and moves superiorly
- external rotation of fibula increases tension in structures that hold tibia and fibula together
- opposite happens in plantar flexion

Q

Passive Stabilizers of Ankle

A

Ankle is surrounded by fibrous capsule
- thin + weak anteriorly + posteriorly

Talocrural joint is further strengthened medially and laterally by ligaments
- some communicated w/ capsule (ATFL, PTFL) and others don’t (CFL)

Q

ATFL

A

Anterior Talofibular Ligament

  • WITHIN capsule = increase swelling
  • begins on lateral malleolus and travels anteriorly to talus
  • WEAKEST of lateral ligaments
  • increased strain in PLANTAR FLEXION + INVERSION as talus glides forward out of mortise

Q

Anterior Drawer Test

A

Passive stabilizer special test

  • used to determine damage to ATFL
  • tested in SLIGHT PLANTAR FLEXION
  • hold heel with one hand and shin just above ankle with other hand. Pull heel up and shin down
  • positive test = foot slides forward and/or clunking sound as it reaches endpoint

Look for pain, laxity, endpoint

Q

CFL

A

INVERSION + DORSIFLEXION

  • extracapsular ligament
  • neutral ankle position = starts on anterior part of lateral malleolus, below ATFL and runs downwards and backwards to attach to lateral calcaneus
  • provides stability to lateral talocrural jt as it moves into DORSIFLEXION
  • does not directly stabilize jt (stabilizes talocrural jt)

3.5x stronger than ATFL

Q

PTFL

A

Posterior Talofibular Ligament

  • WITHIN capsule = increase swelling
  • starts on lateral malleolus and travels posteriorly around talus at 180 deg to ATFL
  • primarily supports talocrural jt in DORSIFLEXION
  • secondary support to talocrural jt
  • some fibres communicate w/ ATFL

6 bands w/ variability
- ANTERIOR is tight in PLANTAR FLEX.

Q

Talar Tilt Test

A
  • to determine extent of injury to CFL (inversion) or DELTOID (eversion)
  • foot at 90 degrees + calcaneus inverted (pain and excessive motion = CFL and possibly ATFL + PTFL tested)
  • calcaneus everted = DELTOID ligament is tested

Q

Dynamic Stabilizers of Ankle

A
  • peroneus/fibularis longus and brevis may contract to slow down or stop movement in dangerous range
  • controls rear for SUPINATION
  • anterior muscles may contract to slow plantar flexion or supination
  • medial muscles may prevent eversion sprains
24
Q

Muscles involved w/ eversion sprain

A
  • Peroneus longus
  • Peroneus brevius
  • Peroneus tertius
  • Ext. Digitorum Longus
  • Achilles Tendon
25
Q

Muscles involved w/ inversion sprain

A
  • Tib. Posterior
  • Tib. Anterior
  • Ext. Hallicus Longus

26
Q

Ankle Sprains

A
  • most common injury in sports
  • 85% LATERAL, 10% SYNDESMOSIS, 5% MEDIAL
27
Q

Properties of Ligaments

A
  • wave or crimp across ligament
  • injury is correlated to load-deformation curve
  • 3 phases of curve: toe, liner, rupture region
28
Q

Toe and Early Liner Region

A
  • initial concave region
  • normal physiological range of strain = 0-2% of length

Early linear region = 2-4%
- due to flattening of crimp

Repeated cycling of stretch in this range is REVERSIBLE

29
Q

Ligament Sprains

A
  • pathological irreversible ligament elongation
  • intra and inter-molecular cross-link are disrupted until failure

Early part = mild/grade 1 (<50%)
Grade 2 = 50-80% fibre disruption (obvious laxity)
Grade 3 = 80-100% fibres (rupture zone)

30
Q

When do ankle sprains usually occur?

A
  • usually occur w/ loading + unloading
  • CKC plantar flexion = talus is positioned anteriorly in ankle mortise
  • main restraint for excessive anterior talar glide is ATFL
  • while loaded, ankle is more stable in mortise
31
Q

CKC

A

Closed Kinetic Chain

distal aspect is in contact w/ ground

32
Q

OKC

A

Open Kinetic Chain

NOT in contact w/ ground
- ex. quad extension

33
Q

Restraint for excessive anterior talar glide

A

ATFL

34
Q

What ligament is first line of defense for ankle?

A

Depends on:
- mechanism (inversion vs eversion)
- ankle position (plantar flex. vs dorsiflex)

35

  • medial pain on palpation + pain w/ dorsiflexion
54
Q

Ankle Sprain Treatment

Inflammation/Destruction

A
  • NSAIDs to reduce pain
  • ice, compression + elevation
  • protected injured tissue (crutches)
  • optimal loading = maintain ROM in uninjured tissue
55
Q

Ankle Sprain Treatment

Repair

A
  • heat = increased blood flow
  • begin ROM and idealize
  • maintain strength of uninjured tissue
  • gentle strengthening of injured tissue once ROM is achieved
  • increase weight-bearing
  • begin proprioception exercise
