Exam and Treatment of Orthopedic Conditions Flashcards
1
Q
3 types of foot deformities
A
- metatarsus adductus
- calcaneovalgus
- club foot
2
Q
Metatarsus Adductus
A
- Forefoot is curved medially;
- hindfoot is in a normal
amount of slight valgus, - full dorsiflexion range of
motion is present
3
Q
3 grades of metatarsus adductus
A
- Grade I = flexible with ability to correct beyond midline
- Grade II= moderately correctable with ability to correct to midline
- Grade III=severe with inability to achieve midline
4
Q
metatarsus adductus exam
A
- Tracing or photo of foot
- Stroke/tickle lateral border of
foot, watch for spontaneous correction - Evaluate PROM
5
Q
Metatarsus Adductus Treatment
A
- Grade I: Monitor – Usually
resolves on its own - Grade II: Corrective shoes
(Straight-last or Reversed-last) - Grade III: Manipulation,
casting/splinting, and corrective shoes
6
Q
When is orthopedic surgery considered for grade III metatarsus adductus
A
- when conservative treatment is ineffective
- older than 4 yo
7
Q
positional calcaneovalgus
A
- Excessive dorsiflexion, hindfoot valgus,
and forefoot abduction - no treatment needed
8
Q
congenital calcaneovalgus caused by vertical talus
A
- Talus is vertically oriented, navicular is displaced onto the dorsal surface of the talus – “rocker bottom foot”
- Requires surgical correction
9
Q
clubfoot
A
- Midfoot/forefoot CAVUS
- Midfoot ADDUCTUS
- Subtalar VARUS
- Ankle EQUINUS
10
Q
clubfoot treatment
A
- Ponseti serial casting
- comprehensive release
11
Q
femoral antetorsion causes
A
Structural, muscle imbalance, abnormal muscle tone
12
Q
femoral antetorsion exam
A
Ryders/Craig’s test, Trochanteric Prominence test
13
Q
Femoral antetorsion treatment
A
- May resolve naturally
- Discourage W-sitting
- Braces, twister cables, shoes (not typically effective if structural)
- Surgery after 10-14 y/o
14
Q
tibial torsion cause
A
Uterine positioning, muscle imbalance,
abnormal muscle tone
15
Q
tibial torsion exam
A
Thigh-foot angle, transmalleolar angle
16
Q
tibial torsion treatment
A
- Watch until after 18 m/o
- Denis-browne shoes and bar, Friedman counter splint
- Surgery after 8 y/o
