Q

My 49 y/o momma pt presents with cc of knee pain after an injury 2 weeks ago ago. She reports the pain and stiffness has worsened since the injury occurs. It swelled a lot for a few days and then she began experiencing locking and popping of the joint. PE shows tenderness alog the joint lines.

what special test would likely be positive in this patient? what is the imaging of choice in this scenario? what is dx?

A

meniscal injuries.
mcmurray test
weight bearing xray in 45 degree of flexion!!!! (this is in all pts w meniscal injury over 40! if under 40 i think just regular AP lateral knee views)

Q

which of the following would NOT indicate referral to ortho in meniscal tear?
a. young pt w traumatic tear
b. joint line tenderness despite conservative therapy
c. excessive popping/locking of the knee
d. excessive ecchymosis along the lateral aspect of the knee
e. positive lachmans or pivot test.

A

D

referall is indicated with:
Young pt with traumatic tear
Failure of conservative (aka joint line stays tender)

Q

12 yo pt reports a sudden onset pain in the anterior knee after landing “awkwardly” from blocking in volleyball. PE shows loss of ROM and superior displacement of patella. what is the suspected dx and what would cause you to urgently refer this patient to ortho.

A

tibial tuberosity fracture.

tx: knee immobilizer w long leg post splint and NWB.

Urgent referral if its a complete avulsion!! if only partial then FU w ortho in 1 week.

Q

what muscles plantar flex vs dorsal flex the foot

A

plantar - posterior tibialis(2 p’s!)
dorsal - anterior tibialis

25
Q

what muscles dorsiflex the great toe and plantarflex the great toe

A

dorsiflex - extensor hallicus longus
plantarflex - flexor hallicus longus

26
Q

what positive test suggests anterior talofibular ligament injury

A

anterior drawer test of foot/ankle

27
Q

Place patient prone and squeeze their calf what is this called and what is a pos test indicate

A

thompson test
pos = absence of plantar flexion
pos = achilles tendon rupture

will NOT be positive in achilles tendon strain!!

28
Q

when do you use mortise view

A

veiwing the ankle

29
Q

Pt presents with complaints of ankle pain which a loud “pop” after attempting to “break a players ankles” in basketball. on exam you see a palpable defect 6cm from the calcaneus and the pt is experiencing weak plantar flexion. what is the likely dx? what special PE test is positive in these patients? what is the confirmatory diagnostic? what is the tx?

A

achilles tendon rupture
thomas test= +
confrim dx: MRI or US
tx: NWB, posterior leg splint in slight plantar flexion. consider surgical management

30
Q

when do we use a controlled ankle motion boot?

A

for achilles tendon tear (not rupture)

31
Q

pt presents with acute posterior ankle pain with localized tenderness along the calcaneus. there is no palpable defects and thomas test is negative. what is dx and tx? what is confirmatory diagnostic?

A

achilles tendon tear
CAM boot and FU ortho in 1 wk
confrim dx with MRI or US

32
Q

a pt presents to your office with burning and stiffness of the ankle that is worse with activity and relieved w rest. she reports shed like to recieve a fast tx so she can get back to her marathon training which she started 3 months ago. what deformity may occur in this patient if left untreated long term. what is dx and tx

A

palpable calcaneal spur.
achilles tendonitis
RICE 7-10 days (PT if no improvement)

33
Q

palpable calcaneal spur occurs in what diagnosis

A

long standing achilles tendonitis

34
Q

what type of ankle sprain affects the ATFL and the CFL

A

lateral ankle sprain

35
Q

what type of ankle sprain affects the deltoid ligament

A

medial ankle sprain (less common)

36
Q

what type of ankle sprain affects with tibiofibular syndesmosis

A

high ankle sprain (severe inversion)

37
Q

when do you do the squeeze test and what does it indicate

A

used in ankle sprains to assess damage to tibiofibular syndesmosis

positive is squeezing of mid calf causes pain in distal tib/fib

38
Q

when do you do tylenol before NSAIDS

A

ACL tear

39
Q

widening of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis on XR is an indicator of what

A

high ankle sprains (severe inversion)

40
Q

a unilateral fracture of the malleolus with associated ligament disruption is considered what kind of ankle fracture

A

bimaleolar ankle fx

the other bimaleolar fx is when both malleoli are fx

41
Q

Both malleoli + injury of posterior lip of tibia is considered what kind of ankle fx

A

trimaleolar ankle fx

other kind is Both malleoli + ligament disruption

42
Q

when would you emergently refer vs urgently refer for an ankle fx

A

emergent: open, NV compromise, associated dislocation and unstable+displaced
urgent: unstable but NONdisplaced

43
Q

what would give away the presence of an occult fx on repeat xrays after 10-14 days of injjry

A

bony callus formation around the area where the fx is.

44
Q

Posterior short leg split with lots of padding is used when

A

calcaneal fx

45
Q

which of the following is not a common MOI for talus fx:
a. high energy plantar force
b. high energy eversion force
c. high energy inversion force
d. high energy dorsiflexion force

A

B

46
Q

this foot/ankle fracture has extensive blood supply and therefore you must be extra wary of AVN

A

talus

47
Q

pt presents with pain to the foot/ankle. on exam you see that her foot is in plantar flexion with an increased prominence of the anterior tibia on palpation. what is the likely dx? what is the tx?

A

posterior ankle dislocation

48
Q

a ffracture at the base of the 5th metatarsal is called what

A

jones fracture

49
Q

pt presents w midfoot pain and inability to bear weight. there is obvious deformity, swelling and ecchymosis over the injury and XR shows cmobined tarsal metatarsal injury. what kind of XR should you have used? what is the Dx? what isthe tx?

A

dx: lisfranc
dianostic weight bearing XR
tx: NWB for 6-8 wks. rigid arch suppport 3 months

50
Q

tx is NWB for 6-8 wks and rigid arch support for 3 months

A

non displaced lisfranc injury

51
Q

Proximal fibula fx + medial malleolus fx/ligament disruption of the ankle w/o fx

A

maisonneuve fx

52
Q

when do you use a digital block in phalangeal injuries

A

if there is a dislocation

53
Q

burning plantar pain in the forefoot

A

mortons neuroma

54
Q

walking on a marble

A

mortons neuroma

risks include obesity, flat feet, and prolnmged jumkping/standing

A

plantar fascitiis

56
