Compartment Syndromes Flashcards
endemic in military basic training camps
Anterior Shin Splints
Horizontal pattern of tenderness
Stress fracture
medial insertion of the _____ may be the primary lesion in Posterior Shin Splints
soleus
one of the leading causes of acquired flatfoot in adults
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD)
posterior tibial tendonitis
typically has a abrupt onset with moderate pain 2-3 cm proximal to the tendons’ insertion on the back of the heel.
Acute Achilles Tendonitis AKA Albert’s Disease
he area of the achilles tendon with the poorest blood supply is approximately
2 to 6 cm above the insertion into the calcaneus.
What is the Dx when a thick nodular cord is present?
tendinosis
Achilles tendon rupture occurs most commonly in men of what age?
30 to 50 years old.
“pump bump”
Retrocalcaneal bursitis
X-Rays often shows a calcified distal Achilles tendon or a bone spur on the superior portion of the calcaneus called a
Haglund deformity
Normal cellular metabolism requires how many mm Hg oxygen tension
5-7
m/c cause of acute compartment syndrome is
tibial plateau fx. which accounts for 45-50% of all C.S.
nerve injury and subsequent contracture from CS following supracondylar fracture known as
Volkmann contracture
most sensitive Sensory loss in CS
2 point touch
is the hallmark of CS!
Capillary collapse (not arterial collapse)
