Clinical Medicine Exam 1 MSK Flashcards
Grades of sprains I,II,III
I = Partial tear but no instability of joint
II = Partial tear with some instability and laxity of joint
III = Complete Tear with laxity and instability of joint
Open fracture anitbiotics
IV antibiotics (Usually 1st-2nd generation cephalosporins and aminoglycosides should be administered 48 hours after fracture and for 48 hours after surgery.
Long bone ends are also known as
Proximal and distal
Epiphysis
Osteosarcoma
common malignant bone tumor
children & adolescents
Distal femur most common site, followed by proximal tibia and then proximal humerus.
pain before tumor is noticed
xray then MRI
Chemo, surgery (amputation is rare)
osteoarthritis
stiffness lasting less than an hour
crepitus
Females, age
asymmetry
Bouchards / Heberdens node
nsaids, rice, steroids, bracing, exercise
Rickets
Due to a lack of vitamin D or calcium and from inadequate sunlight exposure, which destroys normal bone growth.
This primarily occurs in children
Laminectomy –
most common, removal of lamina, bone spurs
Spinal stenosis
Juvenile RA
females 2 to 1
unknown cause
autoimmune
criteria = under 16 arthriris for 6 weeks exclusion of other arthritis 5 joints or more
nsaids
methotrexate
PT/OT
torticollis
Neck tilt in infants (injury if adult)
can be from illness or injury
May be caused by sternocleidomastoid muscle contracture
Head will tilt toward side of contracture
May follow URI or mild trauma in children
Spinal cord tumor, RA other etiologies
stretching
Jones Fracture
junction of the metaphysis and diaphysis of the proximal end of the 5th metatarsal
Untreated risks Avascular necrosis
restand to preventmovementin the foot.
surgerymay be needed
Subluxation
Partial or incomplete misalignment of bones and joints
5 P’s of compartment syndrome
5 P’s
Pain
(late findings) Pallor Pulselessness Parasthesia Paralysis
Long bone shaft is also known as
Diaphysis
Pediatric bones (Fx)
Young skeletal bone is much more flexible than mature adult bone
The bones will bend, buckle before they break
Adhesive capitus
Frozen shoulder
Build up of scar tissue resistricts the movement inside the joint
(GH joint) (between humeral head and socket)
this results in pain and severe ROM decrease
Endosteum
inner layer of medullary cavity
also has layer of cells that breakdown and dissolve bone cells for reabsorption
Pediatric Fx
Greenstick (Surgeon for greater thatn 15 degrees)
Salter Harris types 1-5
Heberdens node
Bony lumps in the distal joint of phlange (DIP joint)
can cause pain and inflammation
Nutirent foramina
minute holes in bone surface that allows blood vessels to penetrate
Rhabdomyosarcoma
more than half of the soft tissue sarcomas in children
most typical in head and neck
Very uncommon in adults
Orbital RMS may present with pain in eye, orbital swelling, bulging of eye.
can mask as URI in nose and mouth
Surgery
Fibromyalgia
women 20-55
No specific tests.
all the problems!
Rule out Differential diagnosis (Hypothyroidism, Hep C, Vitamin D deficiency)
psych meds, ssri, gaba, meditation
Nerve conduction velocity test
Test to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome
Osteoporosis
Primary vs secondary
Primary =
more common, age related
Type 1 = due to decrease in estrogen
type 2 = lack of Vitamin D3
Secondary = Result of other diseases that cause bone loss medications hyperparathyroidism alcohol smoking
Calcium, vitamin D phosphorus, fosamax
Nursemaids elbow
Radial head subluxation
“Pulled elbow”
Usually due to a pull and twist
Sudden acute pain
Child refuses to move arm
On exam, child will be holding arm in slight flexion and pronation
No swelling or tenderness to palpation
HOWEVER – significant tenderness elicited with pronation/supination of the forearm
