Final Exam Flashcards
1
Q
Leg-Calve-Perthes
A
- AVN of femoral head
- MOI - unknown etiology
- Exam - no in/external hip rotation, Trendelenburg gait, hip knee or thigh pain
- Dx - X-ray shows head of femur flattening
- Tx - brace, rest, PT, surgery
2
Q
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis
A
- Hx - hip, groin, knee, thigh pain, males 10-14yo, obese males
- Exam - spasm, reduced ROM, external rotation with hip flexion
- Dx - X-ray shows medial dislocation. Grades 1-3 depend on dislocation
- Tx - surgical reduction
3
Q
Trochanteric Bursitis
A
- irritation/inflammation of bursae due to repetitive activity/trauma (trochanteric, ischial, illiopectineal)
- trochanteric pain during flexion/extension, increased with coxa varum
- MOI - runner with tight IT band, groin pain
- Exam - pain with external rotation and abduction, positive Ober test with tight IT band
- Tx - stretching, steroid injection, modify activity
4
Q
Avulsion Hip Fractures
A
- Rapid growing males (stronger than growth plate)
- Can happen in several places
- Iliac crest
- ASIS
- AIIS
- Lesser trochanter - Dx - radiograph
- Tx - PRICE, stretch/strengthening
5
Q
ASIS Avulsion Fracture
A
- TFL, sartorius (sudden/forced contraction of sartorius with knee flexed/hip extended)
- Exam - POP at ASIS, flexion/abduction of thigh provokes symptoms
- Dx - X-ray shows displaced ASIS
6
Q
AIIS Avulsion Fracture
A
- Rectus Femoris
- Hx - forced contraction, kicking, groin pain
- Exam - POP, pain with hip flexion/knee extension
7
Q
Ischia Tuberosity Fracture
A
- Hx - strong hamstring contraction, hip flexed/knee extended, hurdlers, pain in butt, can’t go on
- Ischial apophysis last to unite, adductor magnus origin
- Exam - POP, reproduce pain with hip flex/knee extend
8
Q
Hamstring Strain
A
- Hx - baseball/track with poor warm-up/fatigue
- Exam - POP of muscle belly, visible/palpable knot
- Tx - NSAIDs, PRICE, tolerated WB, E-stim, stretching
9
Q
Pirifomis Syndrome
A
- Hx - benchwarmer’s syndrome, prolonged sitting, dull ache in butt, pain walking up stairs, pain from compression of sciatic nerve
- Exam - POP, Trendelenburg gait, hold leg externally rotated, pain with flexion/add/internal rotation
10
Q
Iliopsoas Tendonitis/Bursitis
A
- Snapping hip syndrome, groin pain
- Hx - pain worse with activity, snapping with hip flexion
- Exam - POP pubic ramus, pain with resisted hip flexion
- Tx - steroids, NSAIDs, modify activity, strengthening/stretching, E-stim
11
Q
ACL Injury
A
- Anterior medial tibial plafond -> medial aspect of lateral femoral condyle. Limits anterior tibial displacement and some internal rotation
- More common injury in females
- MOI - cutting move, deceleration, hyperextension
- Exam - X-ray, Anterior Drawer Test, Lachmann Test
- Tx - surgical repair
12
Q
PCL Injury
A
- Limits posterior displacement of tibia and some external rotation
- Less common than ACL injury
- Hx - pop/no pop injury, no edema for 48 hours
- Exam - popliteal tenderness, more stability than ACL injury, Sag Test, Posterior Drawer Test
- Arthroscopy is best diagnostic tool
13
Q
MCL Injury
A
- Anatomy - deep later is thickened capsule, stability against valgus stress
- O’Donahue’s triad = ACL, MCL, medial meniscus
- Hx - struck from lateral side, pain increases over time
- Exam - medial edema/ecchymosis(24hrs)/instability
- Grades 1-3 (no opening, opens w/firm end point, opens w/soft end point)
- Dif Dx - epiphyseal fracture
- Tx - 1-2 brace hinge with lock point, 3 cast immobilization
14
Q
LCL Injury
A
- Very rare
- Major trauma with knee dislocation
- Major vascular injury
- Cruciates/common peroneal nerve also damaged
15
Q
Meniscus Injury
A
- Fibrocartilage with poor blood supply, degeneration over time due to mechanics, redistribute pressure from femur
- MOI - WB, cutting/lateral rotation while squatting
- Types
- Bucket Handle - medial more common. prone to locking, younger athletes
- Flap - start as bucket handle, impingement but not locking
- Degenerative - older athletes, pain with activity, can’t squat - Hx - snap/pop heard, may lock right away
- Exam - McMurray Test, Apley Compression
- Dx - arthrogram/MR
