Bone Stress Injury (Tenforde article) Flashcards
What are biologic risk fractures of BSI?
Genetics Medications Calcium & Vitamin D def Female athlete triad Female sex
What medications increase BSI risk?
Steroids
Anticonvulsants
Antidepressants
Antacids
What is the female athlete triad?
Energy availability (eating disorder) Menstrual function (amenorrhea) Bone mineral density (osteoporosis)
What are biomechanical risk factors of BSI?
Training patterns (volume or intensity) Bone char (thinner cortex, lower BMD) Leg length discrepancy Lean Mass Cavus or planus foot type Smaller calf cross-sectional area Higher peak hip ADD Knee IR Knee ABD Tibial IR Rear foot eversion Running >20 miles/week
What should be asked on history when evaluating BSI?
complete running hx Freq of racing Changes in running volume Shoe type and duration of use Change in foot strike pattern Dietary restriction behavior Foods high in vit D & Ca Medications (hormones, steroids) Personal or family hx of Low BMD
What maneuvers should be done to evaluate sacral/pelvic BSI?
Focal tenderness SI joint provovcation Thigh thrust Pelvic distraction/compression FABER Eval for leg length discrepancy
What maneuvers should be done to evaluate Femoral neck BSI?
Hip IR
FADIR (for FAI eval)
What maneuvers should be done to evaluate Lesser trochanter BSI?
Hip IR
FADIR (for FAI eval)
Iliopsoas tendonopathy
What maneuvers should be done to evaluate Femoral shaft BSI?
Fulcrum test to localize pain at injury site
What maneuvers should be done to evaluate Calcaneus BSI?
Calcaneal squeeze test
What are LOW risk anatomic locations of BSI?
Posteriomedial tibia
Fibula/lateral malleolus
Calcaneus
Diaphysis of 2nd-4th metatarsals
What are MODERATE risk anatomic locations of BSI?
Pelvis (sacrum and pubic rami) Femoral shaft Proximal tibia Cuboid Cuneiform
What are HIGH risk anatomic locations of BSI?
Femoral neck Patella Anterior tibial diaphysis Medial malleolus Talus (lateral process)
What is a MRI Grade 1 for BSI?
Mild marrow or periosteal edema on T2; normal T1
Mild to moderate periosteal edema on T2; Normal marrow on T2 and T1
What is a MRI Grade 2 for BSI?
Moderate marrow or periosteal edema plus + T2
Moderate to severe periosteal edema on T2; Marrow edema on T2 but not T1
What is a MRI Grade 3 for BSI?
Severe marrow or periosteal edema on T1 and T2
Moderate to severe periosteal edema on T2; Marrow edema on T2 and T1
