Bone Dev and Ped injuries Flashcards
EO
Hyaline cartilage is model
Perichonrium surrounds, OB infilatrate and convert to P
Cartilage in center of D disintegrates- OB forms 1OC towards ends of bone
HC in epiphyses inc length, OB form 2OC, E converted to spongy bone
requires contact between joints
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) patho
Abnormal contact of femoral head w acetabulum
Fem head grows faster than acetabulum
Hip flexion inc eccentric contact
DDH RF
Female
Breech presentation (head down)
Genetics/FH
Swaddling
Treat DDH
Maintain contact w femoral head/acetabulum
After 2 years, prob cant treat
Bone age
use ossification centers
Areas of weakness
Physis- growth plate, 1OC
Epiphysis- 2OC, lengthening
Apophysis- attachment site of tendons, 2OC, contour
Highest risk of injury during rapid growth (Puberty(
Pediatric Bone
Ligament>bone (much more bone injuries)
P is osteogenic & met active
thicker/stronger
Greenstick frac
Plastic deform
Intact periosteum, only one side fracture
Bend prior to fracture
Buckle (torus)- compression via longitudinal force
Bowing- microscopic fractures dissipate impact
Physis areas
Germinal- resting state, abundant ECM
Proliferative- active growth center for length, abundant ECM
Hypertrophic- center of chondrocyte diff, little ECM, weakest area
Endochondral cal- chondro death and matrix calcification
Strongest area
Salter harris classification of physis injuries
1S- straight across (physis) 2A- above (physis/meta) 3L- lower (physis/epi) 4T- through (Phy/epi/meta) 5ER- Erasure- crush injury
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE)
Type 1- inf/post slippage of proximal femoral epi
Obese, around 11-14
Chronic most common
Acute can occur w fall/trauma
Dull, nonradiating groin/thigh/knee pain
Dec internal rotation
SH Type 2
Most common- meta/phy
Rarely causes bone growth arrest
SH Type 3
Intraarticualr frac- phys/epi
Possible bone growth arrest
Emergent surgical reduction bc of fragment
SH Type 4
Intraarticular frac- E/P/M
Possible bone growth arrest
Emergent surgical correction
SH Type 5
Diff to dx
Bone growth arrest
Dx made after growth arrest
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD)
Osteonecrosis of epiphyseal subchondral bone
separation of articular cartilage and subchondral bone
Rep microtrauma
Ischemia, necrosis, bony collapse
Failed revasc w ingrowth of capillaries
Demineralization w detached bone/articualr cart
OCD Clinically
School age kids/adolescent
Localized pain worse w activity
Intermittent swelling/tenderness
Mostly lat med femoral condyle
Legg-Calve-Perthes Dz
Idiopathic avascular necrosis of femoral epiphysis (children 4-8)
Persistent hip/knee pain
Limp
Apophysitis
Overuse injury
Forceful contraction of muscle, separates/fragments apophysis
Pain @ apophysis worse with movement
Swelling, normal ROM
Apophysitis usual areas
Tibial Tubercle (11-15) Osgood Schlatter (quads)
Medial Epicondyle (8-14) LLE Forearm flexors
Apophysitis Management
Self limited- resolves with ossification of apophysis
OS- ice/NSAIDs/quad strengthening
LLE- no throwing 6-8 wks, ice/NSAIDs/limit pitch count
