Q

What is genu varum (bowleg)?

A
  • Medial angulation of the leg in relation to the thigh
  • Femus is abnormally vertical and the Q angle is small

A
  • Lateral angulation of the leg in relation to the thigh (exaggeration of knee angle)
  • Excess stress is placed on the lateral structures of the knee
  • Patella, normally pulled laterally by the tendon of the vastus lateralis, is pulled even farther laterally when the leg is extended in the presence of genu varum so that its articulation with the femur is abnormal.
58
Q

Patellofemoral Syndrome:
* Where is the pain? How does it happen?
* The pain results from what?

A
  • Pain deep to the patella often results from excessive running, especially downhill; hence, this type of pain is often called “runner’s knee.”
  • The pain results from repetitive microtrauma caused by abnormal tracking of the patella relative to the patellar surface of the femur, a condition known as the patellofemoral syndrome.
59
Q

Patellofemoral syndrome:
* Can also result from what?
* What can help?

A
  • Could also result from a direct blow to the patella and from osteoarthritis of the patellofemoral compartment (degenerative wear and tear of articular cartilages).
  • In some cases, strengthening of the vastus medialis corrects patellofemoral dysfunction.
60
Q

What bursae knee joint and proximal leg?

A
61
Q

What are prepatellar bursitis (“housemaid’s knee”)

is usually a friction bursitis caused by friction between the skin and the patella. If inflammation is chronic, the bursa becomes distended with fluid and forms a swelling anterior to the knee

62
Q

What is Subcutaneous infrapatellar bursitis

A

results from excessive friction between the skin and the tibial tuberosity; the edema occurs over the proximal end of the tibia

63
Q

Deep infrapatellar bursitis results in what?

A

results in edema between the patellar ligament and the tibia, superior to the tibial tuberosity.

64
Q

Suprapatellar bursitis caused by what?

A

caused by bacteria entering the bursa from the torn skin. The infection may spread to the knee joint because the suprapatellar bursa communicates with the articular cavity of the knee joint

65
Q

What is pes anserine bursitis?

A

An inflammation of the bursa located between the shinbone (tibia) and three tendons of the hamstring muscle at the inside of the knee

  • Almost always a complication of chronic knee joint effusion.
70
Q

Popliteal cysts (Baker cysts):
* Synovial fluid may also do what?
* What does ut form?

A
  • Synovial fluid may also escape from the knee joint (synovial effusion) or a bursa around the knee and collect in the popliteal fossa
  • Here, it forms a new synovial-lined sac, or popliteal cyst. In adults, popliteal cysts can be large, extending as far as the midcalf, and may interfere with knee movements.
70
Q

Cyst may be what? What does it cause?

A

Cyst may be a herniation of the gastrocnemius or semimembranosus bursa through the fibrous layer of the joint capsule into the popliteal fossa, communicating with the synovial cavity of the knee joint by a narrow stalk.

Q

Fractures Involving Epiphyseal Plates:
* Where?
* May cause what?

A
  • Disruption of the epiphyseal plate at the tibial tuberosity
  • May cause inflammation of the tuberosity and chronic recurring pain during adolescence (Osgood-Schlatter disease), especially in young athletes).
75
Q

Tibialis Anterior Strain (Shin Splints):
* What is it?
* What is the result of?
* Shin splints are a mild form of what?

A
  • Edema and pain in the area of the distal two thirds of the tibia
  • Result of repetitive microtrauma of the tibialis anterior, which causes small tears in the periosteum covering the shaft of the tibia and/or of fleshy attachments to the overlying deep fascia of the leg.
  • Shin splints are a mild form of the anterior compartment syndrome.
76
Q

Interosseous (IO) infusion:
What is it?

A
  • Intraosseous infusion technique is used to provide fluids and medication when intravenous access is not available or not feasible.
  • Allows for the administered medications and fluids to go directly into the vascular system.

A
85
Q

Compartment Syndromes in Leg and Fasciotomy:
* Caused by what?

A

Trauma to muscles and/or vessels in the compartments from burns, sustained intense use of muscles, or blunt trauma may produce hemorrhage, edema, and inflammation of the muscles in the compartment.

86
Q

Compartment Syndromes in Leg and Fasciotomy:
* Increased pressure causes what?
* Structures distal to the compressed area may become what?

A
  • Increased pressure in a confined anatomical space adversely affects the circulation and threatens the function and viability of tissue within or distal to the space (compartment syndrome).
  • Structures distal to the compressed area may become ischemic and permanently injured (e.g., muscles with compromised blood supply and/or innervation will not function).
87
Q

Compartment Syndromes in Leg and Fasciotomy:
* What is an obvious sign of arterial compression?
* What is the txt?

A
  • Loss of distal leg pulses is an obvious sign of arterial compression, as is lowering of the temperature of tissues distal to the compression.
  • A fasciotomy (incision of overlying fascia or a septum) may be performed to relieve the pressure in the compartment(s) concerned.
88
Q

Rupture of Calcaneal Tendon:
* Often sustained by who?
* What is it?
* After complete rupture of tendon, what happens?

A
  • Calcaneal tendon rupture is often sustained by people with a history of calcaneal tendinitis.
  • Microscopic tears of collagen fibers in the tendon, particularly just superior to its attachment to the calcaneus, result in tendinitis, which causes pain during walking.
  • After complete rupture of the tendon, passive dorsiflexion is excessive, and the person cannot plantarflex against resistance.
89
Q

What is the test for achilles tendon rupture?

A

Thompson squeeze test
* lack of plantar flexion with calf squeezed

90
Q

What is the medial procces of tubercle a site of?

91
Q

What tarsal for medially for arch and lateral?

A

Med: Navicular
Lateral: Cuboid

92
Q

What is the difference btw hammertoe and claw toe?

A

Hammertoe
* Affects the second or middle joint in the toe causing it to bend downward.
* Typically affects a single toe, most commonly the second toe.

Claw toe
* affects one or more of the little toes and can happen to all four toes.
* It can affect the middle and end toe joints and cause the toes to bend and curl under.

93
Q

What are the medial and lateral ankle ligaments?

A
  • Medial: posterior tibiotalar, tibiocalcaneal, anterior tibiotalar ligament
  • Lateral: Posterior talogibular ligament, Calcaneofibular ligament, anterior talofibular ligament

A

plantar aponeurosis

95
Q

Plantar fascilitis:
* What is it ?
* What does it result from?
* Pain where?

A
  • Straining and inflammation of the plantar aponeurosis
  • result from running and high-impact aerobics, especially when inappropriate footwear is worn.
  • pain on the plantar surface of the heel and on the medial aspect of the foot.
96
Q

Plantar fasciitis:
* Point tenderness?
* The pain increases with what?

A
  • Point tenderness is located at the proximal attachment of the plantar aponeurosis to the medial tubercle of the calcaneus and on the medial surface of this bone.
  • The pain increases with passive extension of the great toe and may be further exacerbated by dorsiflexion of the ankle and/or weight bearing.
97
Q

What are the dynamic support and passice support of the foot?

A
98
Q

Plantar calcaneonavicular ligament:
Attaches where?

A

Attach to naviular and tallus

99
Q
  • What consequently happens with pes planus (flatfeet)?
  • What is the result?
A
  • Consequently, the talar head displaces inferomedially and becomes prominent.
  • As a result, some flattening of the medial longitudinal arch occurs, along with lateral deviation of the forefoot.
99
Q

Pes planus (flatfeet):
* What are acquired flatfeet where?
* In the absence of normal passive or dynamic support, what happens?

A
  • Acquired flatfeet (“fallen arches”) are likely to be secondary to dysfunction of the tibialis posterior owing to trauma, degeneration with age, or denervation.
  • In the absence of normal passive or dynamic support, the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament fails to support the head of the talus.
