-TTP to navicular
-inability to WB 4 steps after injury
what position does the leg need to be in to view the mortise
in IR 15-30 degrees
what is the Danis Weber classification
type a: below ankle joint, syndesmosis is intact
type b: at level of ankle joint, syndesmosis may be intact or partially torn
type c: above ankle joint, syndesmosis is disrupted
what is the Lauge Hansen classification
supination with addiction
supination with ER
pronation with ABD
pronation with ER
what is a Maisonneuve fracture
ER Force at the ankle with transmission up to the fibular head, resulting in Prox fibular fracture
tillaux fracture
type III SH, peds, distal tibial epiphysis, anterolaterally
what is a Lisfranc fracture
mid foot fracture of the tarsal metatarsal joint at 2nd MT and medial and middle cuneiform
what is a hallmark sign of a lisfranc fracture
planter bruising
what is a jones fracture, and what is the best view to see it on
5th MT and with an oblique view
how will a shin split stress fracture appear on imaging
as a cloudy periosteum
what is Sever’s disease
calcaneal apophysitis, must rule out avulsions
correct order of imaging for OCD lesion
x-ray, then MRi than CT
what type of image is best for posterior pelvic ring
CT
what is considered abnormal widening of the symphysis
> 1cm
a pelvic exam in an alert patient is highly sensitive. what components are part of the exam
over 3 y/o, good cognition, no injuries seen in pelvis, no pain with compression of iliac and pubis, and no pain with hip IR/ER
what are some signs of sxs of stress fractures and osteitis pubis
relief with NWB, insidious, local pain, swelling and tender, pubic ramus and symphysis.
what is the most common type of hip dislocation, and which way will it go on imaging
posterior most common, will go superior ad lateral
how does an anterior hip dislocation look on imaging
inf and medially
what type of fracture will have a shortened leg with IR
intertrochanteric
what are the Altman criteria for hip OA
hip pain cluster 1: hip pain, hip IR<15, hip flex < 115
cluster 2: hip IR>15, pain with IR, age over 50, morning stiff less than 60 minutes
what is a good hip CPR
squat as aggravating factor, decreased flexion, scour test with lateral hip pain, pain with extension and IR <25 degrees.
what is AVN of the femoral head and what ages
LCP, 4-10 y/o
what is the best image for LCP
MRI
which side is work for a femoral neck stress fracture
tension side is worse
what is a sunrise or merchant view on x-ray
knee to look between patella and anterior femur
what is a tunnel view x-ray
to look at tibial spine, between femoral condyles
what are the Pittsburg knee rules
trauma/fall or blunt injury under ager 12 or over age 50, and inability to walk 4 steps.
are the knee imaging rules highly sensitive or specific
sensitive
what are the ottawa knee rules
-age over 55
-patellar tenderness
-TTP at fibular head
-inability to flex knee 90
-inability to WB 4 steps
what is a fabella
normal bone formation in the lateral GN
is a bipartite patella pathogenic
no, the superolateral border of the patella is ok.
which way is the most common way to dislocate a patella
laterally
what is a segond fracture
lateral tibial plateau avulsion fracture, usually with ACL. lateral capsule area is where this type of fracture occurs.
which condyle is it more common to have a OCD lesion
medially in men 85%
what is Sinding Larson Johansson
inferior patella version of Osgood Schlatter’s
are the Canadian c/s rules sensitive or specific
sensitive
what are the Canadian c/s rules
-high risk factors (over 65y/o, dangerous MOI (fall over 3 feet, 5 steps, axial loading, MVC, rollover, ejection, bike accident), paresthesia in extremity?)
-low risk (simple rear end (rollover, oncoming traffic, hit by bus/truck), sitting position in ED, ambulatory, delayed onset neck pain, absence of midline tenderness) IF YES….
-can you rotate at least 45 degrees to L and R
