HomeStretch CRACK vol 2. MSK Flashcards
Fatigue fracture
Insufficiency fracture
Both are “stress fractures” but fatigue is generally referred to as stress fracture
Fatigue fracture = abnormal stress on normal bone
Insufficiency fracture = normal stress on ABnormal bone
Healing times:
Phalanges
Tibia or fem neck/shaft
everything else
fast (3 weeks)
Slow (10 weeks)
everything else = 6-8 weeks
factors for abnormal bone healing
Vitamin D deficiency
Gastric bypass
Drugs/meds: tobacco, nsaids, steroids
What are the low risk stress fxs?
femoral neck (compressive side)
Posterior medial tibial fx (compressive too)
longitudinal patellar fx
2nd and 3rd metatarsal
calcaneus
. . . the rest are high risk (ie need more than conservative tx).
Prieser disease
atraumatic AVN of scaphoid
What is the most important ligament in the scapholunate ligament carpal stability? how about the luno-triquetral?
SL = dorsal band
LT = volar
SLAC wrist
scapho-lunate advanced collapse
occurs with injury or degen via CPPD to the S-L ligament
SNAC Wrist
Scaphoid non-union advanced collapse
DISI
VISI
Dorsal / volar intercalated segmental instability
disi is more common from since it is due to the common SL injury.
Space of Poirier
ligament free (“Poor”) area in the wrist - site of weakness
positive ulnar variance is associated with ?
Ulnar impation syndrome
distal ulna smashes into lunate, degenerating it (cystic change) and tears up the CENTRAL TFCC
Negative ulnar variance is associated with what?
Keinbock’s (lunate AVN)
What do you need to know about the hand’s extensor compartments?
There are 6 of them
1st compartment (APL and EPB) are the one’s affected in de Quervains
3rd compartment (EPL) courses along lister’s tubercle and can have delayed rupture after a non-displaced radial fx.
The 6 compartment - ECU - can get early tenosynovitis in RA
Vaughan-Jackson Syndrome
Sounds like hugh jackman (wolverine)
sequential extensor tendon rupture seen with worsening RA, starting at compartment 5 -> 4, 3, 2, 1
Intersection syndrome
repetitive use issue occurs 5cm proximal to lister’s tubercle
Drummer’s wrist
3rd compartment (EPL) tenosynovitis
Bennet versus Rolando
What tendon causes displacement?
both are fracture of base of thumb
Rolando is the RECKED one! (communited)
APL
gamekeeper’s thumb
associated lesion?
avulsion fx at base of proximal phalanx with associated ucl disruption
associated with Stener Lesion
Stener lesion
occurs in gamekeeper’s thumb
adductor tendon aponeurosis gets caught in torn edges of UCL
Essex-Lopresti
fx of radial head + DRUJ dislocation
Monteggia fx
ulnar fracture with radial head dislocation
Galeazzi fx
radius fx with DRUJ dislocation
osborne’s ligament
epicondylo-olecranon ligament (where the ulnar nerve goes under in cubital tunnel)
Sublime tubercle
medial coronoid, where the elbow UCL attaches to
