Q

what happens to blood supply during a femoral neck fracture?

A

the femoral neck receives blood primarily from the medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries.

When a fracture occurs in this area, the blood supply can be disrupted, potentially leading to avascular necrosis (death of the bone tissue due to lack of blood)

if there is pain in malleolar zone and any of these findings:

bone tenderness at posterior edge or tip of lateral malleolus

bone tenderness at medial edge or tip of medial malleolus

inability to bear weight both immediately and in emergency department (four steps)

A

pain in mid-foot zone and any of these findings:

bone tenderness at base of 5th metatarsal
bone tenderness at navicular

inability to bear weight both immediately and in emergency apartment (four steps)

35
Q

what are the three types of “rolling the ankle” injury?

A

isolated medial or lateral malleolar fracture

bimalleolar fracture (both)

trimalleolar fracture (medial + lateral + posterior malleolus)

36
Q

what is a bunion?

A

a foot deformity called hallux valgus in which the big toe deviates outward toward the other toes, often resulting in a noticeable bump on the side of the foot at the base of the big toe

it can even move under the second digit

37
Q

what happens to the medial longitudinal arch with a bunion?

A

it is reduced because the big toe putting pressure on the first metatarsal bone causes a collapse or flattening effect on the arch

38
Q

what position is the great toe with a bunion deformity?

A

adduction (going towards the 2nd toe)

39
Q

what is plantar fasciitis?

A

bone spur on the heel

40
Q

what type of feet get plantar fasciitis?

A

flat feet (low arches)

high arches

over-pronated feet

41
Q

is there any symptoms associated with plantar fasciitis?

A

may not always symptoms

42
Q

what is piriformis syndrome? and what is affected?

A

portion of the sciatic nerve can pierce the piriformis, or the piriformis can become chronically tight/spasm

Hip ROM will be affected

43
Q

what population are most affected by piriformis syndrome?

A

ice skaters, cyclists, rock climbers, and women

44
Q

what compresses the nerve in piriformis syndrome?

A

muscle contraction

45
Q

what muscle actions in piriformis syndrome are affected?

A

hip external rotation (extended hip)
hip abduction when flexed
stabilized hip joint

46
Q

what is trendelenburg?

A

waddling gait: drop pelvis when lifting leg opposite to weak gluteus medius

47
Q

what is the nerve most often injured in the lower limb?

A

common fibular nerve

48
Q

what are some ways a common fibular nerve injury occur?

A
  1. direct trauma
  2. severed during fracture of the fibular neck
  3. severely stretched when the knee joint is injured or dislocated
49
Q

what happens to the muscles during a common fibular nerve injury (motor and sensation)?

A

flaccid paralysis of all muscles in the anterior and lateral compartments of the leg

a variable loss of sensation on the anterolateral aspect of the leg and the dorsum of the foot

50
Q

what muscle actions are affected with a common fibular nerve injury?

A

the loss of dorsiflexion of the ankle causes foot drop, which is further exacerbated by unopposed inversion of the foot (common or deep fibular nerve injury)

51
Q

what happens to the gait pattern during a common fibular nerve injury?

A

the limb is too long: the toes do not clear the ground during the swing phase of walking

no eccentric control produces a “clop” when the foot touches the ground

52
Q

what type of gait is common in the case of flaccid paralysis as a result of a common fibular injury?

A

steppage gait: unable to lift foot while walking

53
Q

what muscle actions are affected if the cut they common fibular nerve?

A

subtalar joint eversion (superficial common fib)

ankle dorsi flexion (deep common fib)

54
Q

what muscle actions are affected if you just cut the deep common fibular nerve?

A

ankle dorsi flexion

55
Q

what is another name for a Baker’s cyst?

A

popliteal cyst

56
Q

what is a popliteal cyst?

A

fluid filled growth behind the knee

it is a continuation of the bursa (gastrocnemius or semi-membranosus)

complication of chronic knee joint effusion

57
Q

what population is the popliteal cyst common in?

A

children

grow large in adults

58
Q

where does a tibial nerve injury at the knee occur?

A

posterior dislocation of the knee

specifically the tibiofemoral joint

59
Q

if the tibial nerve is severed, what muscle actions are affected?

will there be skin sensation loss? where?

A

loss of plantar flexion and flexion of toes

there would be a loss of sensation in the following areas:

the sole of the foot, which includes the lower lateral surface + plantar surface + the heel + toes

60
Q

where is the tarsal tunnel?

A

posterior to the medial malleolus

deep to the flexor retinaculum

61
Q

what happens to the tarsal tunnel when there is a tibial nerve injury?

A

edema and tightness (swelling)

synovial sheaths tightness

heel pain

62
Q

what are the three branches of the tibial nerve?

A

calcaneal branch nerve
medial plantar nerve
lateral plantar nerve

63
Q

what is varicosities? and how can it contribute to tarsal tunnel syndrome?

A

they are enlarged veins that can increase pressure in the confined space thus affecting the tibial nerve

64
Q

what is a “double crush” in tarsal tunnel syndrome?

A

compression site #1: the lower back adds pressure to the sciatic nerve (L4, L5, S1)

compression site #2: pressure in the tarsal tunnel on the tibial nerve

*Basically, compression on both the tarsal tunnel and spine

65
Q

what are symptoms of the tarsal tunnel syndrome?

A

burning, numbness, and tingling

toe weakness

pes planus deformity (FLAT FEET)

66
Q

what injury is known as a syndesmotic injury? and what does that mean?

A

high ankle sprain

A syndesmotic injury, also known as a high ankle sprain, involves damage to the syndesmosis, which is a fibrous joint that connects the two bones of the lower leg: the tibia and the fibula.

This joint is located just above the ankle, where the two bones are held together by a ligament called the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) and other supporting ligaments.

67
Q

what is a lisfranc injury?

A

metatarsal fracture, lisfranc ligament rupture, dislocation

68
Q

where is the lisfranc ligament?

A

between the tarsal and metatarsal bones

69
Q

what is the motion of injury for Lisfranc injury?

A

foot twisting

70
Q

what is AAA?

A

abdominal aortic aneurysm

71
Q

where is the Lisfranc ligament?

A

medial cuneiform and base of 2nd metatarsal
