Foot and Ankle Acute Injuries Flashcards

1
Q

what is the most common reason for self-medication and entry into health care system

A

pain

  • multi-factorial experience influenced by culture, previous pain experience, belief, mood and ability to cope
  • may be an indicator of tissue damage but may also be experienced in the absence of an identifiable cause

Q

fear avoidance

A

behavior that is significantly associated with the experience of pain
-especially true when the pain becomes chronic
with FA behavior
-just the anticipated risk of intense pain can lead to constant awareness and monitoring of pain sensations
-can cause low-intensity sensations of pain to become unbearable for the person
-just the anticipation of increased pain or possible re-injury can further stimulate avoidance behaviors
can lead to a vicious cycle in which the fear of increased pain or re-injury leads to the avoidance of many activities, leading to inactivity and ultimately, to greater disability

Q

classification of ankle instability: mechanical

A

more than 10 mm of anterior translation on one side

-more than 3 mm of side-to-side difference

22
Q

classification of ankle instability: function

A

subjective feeling of ankle “giving way” during physical activity or everyday activities

23
Q

tib-fib syndesmotic sprain

-MOI

A

forced external rotation of foot on tibia with increased dorsiflexion

24
Q

type 1 high ankle sprain

A

foot in fixed toe-out position during open cur with direct blow to lateral aspect of knee while body turning away from foot

25
type 2 high ankle sprain
player pone on ground with foot fixed in externally rotated position with force on knee or heel in lateral direction
26
high ankle sprain | -involved structures
anterior and posterior tibfib ligaments, with involvement of interosseous membrane in severe injuries if increased pronation force at subtalar joint, damage to deltoid ligament and other medial ankle soft tissue structures
27
high ankle sprain classification
grade 1 -stable joint with mild tenderness at distal TF joint - normal radiographic findings grade 2 -partial disruption with mormal radiographic findings and positive external rotation (Klieger) and squeeze test on physical exam grade III -complete rupture of distal tibfib ligaments with or without deltoid ligament involvement
28
tibfib syndesmotic sprains S/S - classic feature - with sever injuries - can also have - do not see
classic feature is tenderness to palpation over the anterior and posterior tibfib ligaments - athlete will often point specifically to this site as area of max tenderness -tenderness can extend proximally along the IOM with severe injuries, tenderness extends proximally over the interosseous membrane can also have medial ankle joint soft tissue involvement (deltoid ligament) involvement based on degree of pronation force do not see severe swelling and less ecchymotic discoloration as with typical lateral ankle sprain since damaged tissue is "extracapsular"
29
tibfib sprains S/S continued - pain increased with - complaints of...
pain increased with stress (increased dorsiflexion) | complaints of vague instability or awkwardness of the ankle
30
tibfib sprain: imaging
increased tibfib clear space (increased diastasis) Frank diastasis can be seen on standard radiographs, but in partial tears must use stress radiographs, CT scans, or MRI to assess
31
eversion sprains - occur less frequently because... - often result in...
occur less frequently because of ankle anatomy and strength of deltoid ligament eversion sprains often result in avulsion of the medial malleolus rather than tearing of the deltoid ligament
32
red flag for all sprains
growth plate fracture | -if patient is 13 years or younger or growth spurt within last 12 months
33
Lisfranc joint complex injuries - also referred to as... - typically associated with... - recently, increased incidence with...
midfoot sprains typically associated with high-energy trauma -MVA or industrial accidents recently, increased incidence with low-energy trauma -recreational and elite athletic activity -2nd most common foot injury in intercollegiate FB players -also seen in gymnastics and equestrian sports
34
midfoot sprains: MOI
direct injury -caused by crushing load applied directly to midfoot -object dropped on foot; another foot stepping down on midfoot indirect injury -caused by axial longitudinal force applied directly to the foot when in a plantar-flexed and slightly rotated position - followed by forceful abduction or twisting
35
midfoot sprains | -classification of injury
Lisfranc ligament
36
midfoot sprains management | -stage I
NWB cast 6 weeks | if necessary, WB AFO for 4 weeks; PT as required
37
midfoot sprains management | -stage II and III
usually require surgery (open or closed reduction) | most cases, ORIF
38
ankle fractures - 1st classification system developed by... - -based on... - -limitation
developed by Pott - based on # of malleoli involved - did not distinguish a stable vs unstable Fx
39
ankle fracture classificaiton - 2 systems after the Pott's system - -what do each of them do?
Danis-Weber system categorizes Fx's based on location of distal fibular fracture in relation to syndesmosis Lauge-Hansen system describes: -1) position of foot at time of injury -2) deforming force on the ankle
40
ankle fractures clinical features - usually caused by... - what dictates Fx pattern - if a diabetic patient presents with Fx symptoms - high-energy mechanism should...
usually cause by twisting mechanism sustained as a result of a low-energy injury position of ankle at time of injury and subsequent direction of force usually dictates Fx pattern (Lauge-Hansen System) if a diabetic patient presents with Fx symptoms, but history of no or little trauma - must r/o Charcot neuroarthropathy a high-energy mechanism should raise possibility of compartment symdrome fo the leg or injury to plafond (pilon fracture)
41
ankle fractures: Danis-Weber system
type A -Fx below the syndesmosis -typically stable type B -Fx begins at joint level and extends above in oblique fashiion -if medial malleolar Fx and deltoid ligament rupture - then unstable type C -Fx above the joint line, generally with syndesmotic injury - unstable
42
ankle fractures: Lauge-Hansen system | -types
supination - external rotation pronation - external rotation supination - adduction pronation - abduction
43
ankle fractures: Lauge-Hansen system- | -supination - external rotation
most common fracture - similar to Weber type B
44
ankle fractures: Lauge-Hansen system | -pronation - external rotation
similar to Weber type C - fracture proximal to tibial plafond fibular fracture can be as high as fibular neck (Maisonneuve) with syndesmotic injury
45
ankle fractures: Lauge-Hansen system | -supination - adduction
similar to a Weber type A | -transverse Fx of lateral malleolus inferior to syndesmosis with vertical Fx of medial malleolus
46
ankle fractures: Lauge-Hansen system | -pronation - abduction
comminuted Fx of fibula above ankle mortise with medial malleolar fracture or deltoid ligament tear
47
ankle and foot fractures: issues that must be dealt with by PT after healing
limited foot mobility with possible fixed inverted posture of rearfoot pain in ankle/foot during weight bearing activities inability to load the medial aspect of the forefoot, especially the 1st metatarsal head
48
issues with early TAA
high rates of component loosening -due to high joint loading --during normal gait, load placed on ankle joint 5x body weight --superior talar articular bears 75% of load high rate of infection
49
approved prostheses for taa approved for use in US
STAR AGILITY Ankle -requires fusion of mortise SALTO-TALARIS
50
characteristics of approved prostheses for TAA
all 3 are non-cemented - rely on bony ingrowth - require at least 8-12 week of non-WB
