Buzzwords - MSK & Rheum Flashcards
squared-off shoulder
anterior shoulder dislocation (MC type)
hill-sachs lesion
groove on humeral head
bankart lesion
glenoid inferior rim fracture
shoulder - abducted, externally rotated
anterior dislocation - MC type
shoulder - adducted, internally rotated
posterior dislocation
-mc associated with seizures, electric shock
mc rotator cuff muscle tear
supraspinatus (empty can test)
mc cause of shoulder pain >40
rotator cuff tear (50% trauma or chronic overuse)
mc cause of shoulder pain <40
tendonitis - associated with subacromial bursitis
-pain w/ abduction >90 suggest tendinopathy
hawkins test
drop arm test
neer test
impingement tests of subscapular nerve / supraspinatus
mc fractured bone in children, adolescents and newborns during birth
clavicle
adson sign
loss of radial pulse w/ head rotated to affected side
–> thoracic outlet syndrome
positive anterior/posterior fat pad on elbow xray
- supracondylar frx in children
- radial head frx in adults
positive fat pad (esp posterior) means
hemarthrosis
nerve (maybe) affected by olecranon frx
ulnar
abrupt “goose egg” swelling on elbow
olecranon bursitis
nightstick fracture
ulnar shaft
monteggia fracture
proximal ulnar shaft fracture w/ anterior radial head dislocation
-may cause radial nerve injury –> wrist drop
galeazzi fracture
mid-distal radial shaft fracture w/ dislocation of distal radial-ulnar junction
hutchinson fracture aka chauffer’s fracture
radial styloid fracture
tennis elbow vs. golfer’s elbow
lateral (tennis) epicondylitis
medial (golfers) epicondylitis
“piece of pie” sign or “spilled teacup” sign on xray
lunate dislocation –> emergent consult
“dinner fork deformity” on xray
colles fracture
kienbock’s disease
avascular necrosis of lunate bone
perineal ecchymosis
maybe pelvic fracture
legg-calve-perthes disease
idiopathic avascular osteonecrosis of femoral head in children (ischemia of capital femoral epiphysis)
-cresent sign w/ xray on advanced
greenstick fractures
-incomplete w/ cortical disruption and periosteal tearing on convex side (intact on concave side) BOWING
torus (buckle) fracture
incomplete frx with “wrinkling or bump” of metaphyseal-diaphyseal jx due to axial loading
unhappy (O’Donoghue’s) triad
injury to ACL, MCL and medial meniscus
lachman’s test
ACL injury (also anterior drawer)
segond fracture
avulsion of lateral tibial condyle w/ varus stress to the knee –> pathognomic for ACL tear
patella baja
quad tendon rupture
palpable defect below knee
patella alta
patellar tendon rupture
palpable defect above knee
apprehension sign
patellar dislocation or patellofemoral syndrome (chondromalacia)
pt anxious/forcefully contracts quad when examiner pushes laterally (after reduced)
sign of peroneal nerve injury
foot drop
ober test
pain or resistance to leg adduction
-IT band syndrome
thompson test
achilles tendon rupture
-weak, absent plantar flexion when gastrocneumius is squeezed
weber ankle fracture classification
level of fibular fracture (lateral malleolus)
-relative to the syndesmosis (tibia + talas)
Weber A - below syndesmosis
Weber B - level of syndesmosis
Weber C - above syndesmosis
fleck sign xray
lisfranc injury foot
-frx at base of 2nd metatarsal –> disrupts articulation of medial cuneiform (foot bone) and base of 2nd metatarsal
sciatica sx
back pain radiates to thigh/butt –> lower leg (below knee), down L5-S1 dermatome
-increases w/ valsalva
L4 herniated disc (sensory, weakness, reflex)
sensory: anterior thigh pain, sensory loss to medial ankle
weakness: ankle dorsiflexion
reflex: loss of knee jerk (weak knee extension / quads)
L5 herniated disc (sensory, weakness, reflex)
sensory: lateral thigh/leg, hip, groin paresthesias and pain; dorsum of foot esp btw 1st/2nd toes
weakness: big toe extension (dorsiflexion), walking on heels more difficult than toes
reflex: usually normal
S1 herniated disc (sensory, weakness, reflex)
sensory: posterior leg/calf, gluteus
weakness: plantar flexion, walking on toes harder than heels
reflex: loss of ankle jerk
no “anal wink”
cauda equina syndrome
-dec anal sphincter tone on rectal exam
scoliosis + cafe au lait spots, skin tags, axillary freckles
neurofibromatosis type 1
