Q

important principles of traction

A

TRACTION
-Temp of extremity (and oral temp)
-Ropes hang freely
-Alignment of extremity
-Circulation checks for 6 Ps
-Trapeze (frequently part of traction)
-Increase fluid intake
-Overhead trapeze (increases independence and muscle strength)
-No weights on bed or floor

Q

why is a figure eight compression bandaid used after amputation

A

-decreases stump edema
-controls hemorrhage
-aids in desired contour so it can be weight bearing in future

Q

how long should stump be elevated after amputation, and when do you stop elevating

A

24 hours elevation postop
then stop because contractures will develop and hinder mobility

Q

causes kyphosis

A

-TB
-arthritis
-osteodystrophy
-copmression fracture

25
causes lordosis
-obesity -flexion contractures of hip -congenital dislocated hip
26
cause of developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH)
breech birth
27
Dx of DDH
-ortolani and barlow tests at 1-4 wks -galeazzi sign (shortening of thigh, unequal gluteal folds) -older children with limp, leg discrepancy -x-ray
28
Tx DDH
-pavlik harness (0-6 mos) -spica casting/surgery (6+ months)
29
avascular necrosis of femoral head, most common in males 4-8 yo
legg-calve-perthes disease
30
Tx legg-calve-perthes disease
-rest -NSAIDs -PT -maybe traction/bracing/casting -maybe surgical reconstruction
31
Spontaneous displacement of the proximal femoral epiphysis in a posterior and inferior direction -occurs during accelerated growth/puberty
slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE)
32
possible causes SCFE
-obesity -puberty hormone changes -bone changes
33
S+S SCFE
-episode of trauma w/ acute displacement -gradual displacement w/o definite injury -intermittent displacement -limp
34
Tx SCFE
emergency -non-weight bearing -surgery -sometimes home traction
35
inflammation and infection of bony tissue -can be caused by any organism -can be caused by exogenous or homogenous source
osteomyelitis
36
Dx osteomyelitis
-early x-rays look normal -bone scans -bone culture from biopsy/aspirate
37
S+S osteomyelitis
-abrupt onset symptoms -(resembles arthritis and leukemia) -marked leukocytosis -severe pain -fever -irritability
38
Tx osteomyelitis
-prompt IV Abx for extended period (maybe through PICC) -complete bed rest
39
S+S septic arthritis
-warm, tender, swollen, painful joint -fever -leukocytosis -frequently after traumatic injury -most often in hip, knee, shoulder -MRSA frequent cause, N. gonorrhea is frequent cause in teens
40
Dx septic arthritis
-blood culture -joint fluid aspirate -x-ray
41
Tx septic arthritis
-surgery -IV Abx
42
A group of heterogeneous inherited disorders of connective tissue
osteogenesis imperfecta
43
S+S osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)
-excessive fragility -bone defects -defective periosteal bone formation -reduced thickness of bones -hyperextensible joints
44
types OI
type 1: mild bone fragility, most common type 2: lethal, severe bone fragility type 3: severe bone fragility and progressive deformities type 4: mild to moderate bone fragility
45
meds for OI
bisphosphonates: end in -dronate
46
Tx OI
-meds (bisphosphonates) -splints and braces -mostly supportive -surgery -PT
47
peak ages juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)
1-3 yo and 8-10 yo
48
S+S JIA
-systemic onset -high fever -rash -hepatosplenomegaly, pericarditis, pleuritis, lymphadenopathy -destruction of cartilage -stiffness -loss of mobility -warm to touch -growth retardation -symptoms increase with stressors
49
Dx JIA
based on american college of rheumatology criteria: -onset <16 yo -1+ affected joints -arthritis 6+ wks -exclusion of other forms of arthritis
50
meds for JIA
-NSAIDs -SAARDs -corticosteroids -DMARDs (methotrexate)
51
Tx JIA
-meds -PT, OT -splints at night -regular eye appts
52
complication with JIA
iridocyclitis/uveitis (inflammation if iris and ciliary body) can lead to blindness, glaucoma, cataracts
