6.) Trauma - Upper Extremities Flashcards
What type of trauma is pictured?

Greater Tuberosity Fx aka Flap Fx
Avulsion fx by connecting tendons and associated with anterior dislocations

What type of trauma is pictured?

Trans-Scaphoid Fx & Perilunate Dislocation
- Perilunate Dislocation: Dorsal displacement of all carpal bones except lunate
- Trans-Scaphoid Dislocation: Same as perilunate dislocation with an associated fx through waist of scaphoid
- Proximal part of scaphoid stays next to lunate
- Distal part of scaphoid moves w/other carpal bones

What type of trauma is pictured?

Colle’s Torus Fx aka Dinner Fork Deformity aka Silver Fork Fx
Fracture at distal radius 20-35mm proximal to the joint with posterior angulation of distal the fragment
- Normally there is 5-15° palmar angulation of articular surface

What type of trauma is pictured?

Torus Fx
- MC fx at the wrist in children 6-10 years
- 2-4cm distal from joint surface
- Can occur in any bone

What type of trauma is pictured?

Rolando’s Fx aka Comminuted Bennett’s Fx
- Least common of all 1st metacarpal injuries
- Difficult to treat

What type of trauma is pictured?

Condylar Fx

What type of trauma is pictured?

Supracondylar Fx
Fx line extends transversely or obliquely through the distal humerus above the condyles
- Usually the fx fragment displaces posterior

What type of trauma is pictured?

Monteggia’s Fx
Proximal ulnar shaft fracture
- Associated with dislocations of the radial head
- In children ulnar component is often a greenstick fx

What type of trauma is pictured?

Nightstick Fx aka Parry Fx
Fx of the distal ulnar shaft
- MOI: Direct trauma from arm being raised to protect head during an assult w/club or hard object

What type of trauma is pictured?

Epicondylar Avulsion Fx
- Usually avulsive from common flexor or extensor tendons & collateral ligaments
- Little Leaguer’s Elbow: Separation of the medial epicondyle

What type of trauma is pictured?

Grade III: Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Separation
Severe sprain: Both AC & coracoclavicular ligaments are disrupted
- Widened joint space
- Elevation of the distal clavicle
- Widened coracoclavicular space (>5mm)

What type of trauma is pictured?

Rolando’s Fx aka Comminuted Bennett’s Fx

What type of trauma is pictured?

Scapholunate Dissociation aka Rotary Scaphoid Subluxation

What type of trauma is pictured?

Grade I: Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Separation
Mild Sprain: AC ligament is stretched but not disrupted & coracoclavicular ligament is intact

What type of trauma is pictured?

Non-Displaced Clavicle Fx

What type of trauma is pictured?

Occult Scaphoid Fx
- MC site for occult fx
- Only 30% initially thought to be occult actually are

What type of trauma is pictured?

Scaphoid Fx with AVN
- 1-15% of scaphoid fxs result in AVN

What type of trauma is pictured?

Colle’s Fx aka Dinner Fork Deformity aka Silver Fork Fx
Fracture at distal radius 20-35mm proximal to the joint with posterior angulation of distal the fragment
- Normally there is 5-15° palmar angulation of articular surface

What type of trauma is pictured?

Sternoclavicular (SC) Joint Dislocation
-
MC: Anterior displacement of the clavicle
- Posterior dislocations can be life threatening
- Best Radiographic Technique: CT

What type of trauma is pictured?

Non-Displaced Clavicle Fx

What type of trauma is pictured?

Smith’s Fx aka Reverse Colle’s Fx
Fx at the distal radius with anterior angulation of the distal radius

What type of trauma is pictured?

Radial Head Fx aka Chisel Fx
- Fx line is usually on lateral side
- Step-off or angulation is common
- Double cortical sign
- 50% of elbow injuries in adults

What type of trauma is pictured?

Radial Head Fx aka Chisel Fx
- Fx line is usually on lateral side
- Step-off or angulation is common
- Double cortical sign
- 50% of elbow injuries in adults

What type of trauma is pictured?

Isolated Fx of the Radius aka Galeazzi’s Fx aka Piedmont’s Fx aka Reverse Monteggia’s Fx
MC toward the distal shaft

What type of trauma is pictured?

Colle’s Fx aka Dinner Fork Deformity aka Silver Fork Fx
Fracture at distal radius 20-35mm proximal to the joint with posterior angulation of distal the fragment
- Normally there is 5-15° palmar angulation of articular surface

What type of trauma is pictured?

Grade II: Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Separation
Moderate Sprain: Torn AC ligament & stretched but intact coracoclavicular ligament

What type of trauma is pictured?

Bennett’s Fx
Fx-dislocation-avulsion injury at the base of the 1st metacarpal
- Caused by injury where there is a grip applied to an object (ex. handle bar)
- Intraarticular fx
- Usually dorsal & radial displacement of the shaft

What type of trauma is pictured?

Sternal Fx

What type of trauma is pictured?

Rib Fx

What type of trauma is pictured?

Posterior Dislocation
