Exam 2 Flashcards
Hip Dysplasia: Definition
abnormal development of coxofemoral joint => laxity => remodeling => degeneration
Hip Dysplasia: Signs
exercise intolerance, bunny hopping, stiff, forward wt shift
Hip Dysplasia: Stance
Wide - compensatory
Narrow - degeneration
Hip Dysplasia: Dx
Rads (OHA, PennHip) ortolani test
What is Coxa Valga?
adaptive response to abnormal stress
Hip Dysplasia: Tx
supportive (wt management, NSAIDs), TPO, FHO, THR
Coxofemoral Luxation: Dislocation Positions
Caudovental - leg is abducted and flexed, stifle rotated inward
Craniodorsal - relaxed extension
Coxofemoral Luxation: Caudoventral Tx
reduce, hobble 10-14d
Coxofemoral Luxation: Craniodorsal Tx
reduce, ehmer sling 4-14d
Legg-Perthes Dz: Pathophysiology
ischemia to femoral head =>necrosis
Legg-Perthes Dz: Dx
Early: radiopacity of lat. femoral head, focal bone lysis
Later - flat, mottling of femoral head, thick femoral neck
Legg-Perthes Dz: Tx
FHO
Cranial Cruciate Ligament Tear: Signs
effusion, atrophy, crepitus
CCL Tear: Dx
(+) drawer sign, tibial thrust
CCL Tear: Tx
Extracapsular - lateral suture, tight rope
Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy, Tibial Tuberosity Advancement
Meniscal Tears: Types
bucket handle (intrameniscal)
Meniscal Tear: Tx
partial meniscectomy
Patellar Luxation: Pathogenesis Poss.
medial malalignment of quadriceps => medial displacement of tibial tuberosity, shallow trochlear groove
Patellar Luxation: Grades
I - can be luxated but pops back in (in-in)
II - luxates but can be reduced (in-out)
III - luxated most of the time, can be reduced (out-in)
IV - fixed luxation (out-out)
Patellar Luxation: Dx
PE, rads
Patellar Luxation: Tx
mild - monitor for progression
Mod/severe - bone/soft tissue reconstruction,
Carpus/Tarsus: Hyperextension - Locations
antebrachiocarpal, middle carpal, carpometacarpal, combo
Carpus/Tarsus: Hyperextension - Tx
pancarpal arthrodesis
Carpal Laxity Syndrome: Tx
self correcting
