Q

PPE Medical Questions

A
  1. Respiratory
    - Asthma — Not a disqualifier — may need to adjust meds

  3. MONO is a disqualifier for contact sports d/t risk of splenic rupture
  4. Neuro: Numbness or tingling or weakness in arms or legs after being hit or tackled
    - This describes a “burner”or a “stinger”which is a nerve root compression injury
    - Must be free of all sx’s to participate
  5. Sickle Cell Trait or disease can increase risk of rhabdomylisis
  6. When a woman goes into ammenorrhea, the loss of estrogen surge can lead to bone density loss. Make sure she is menstrauting monthly

Q

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury “MTBI”

-Info

A
  1. Any player who has significant impact to the head should be sidelined and not allowed to play the remainder of the day TEST
  2. 24-48 hrs of physical and cognitive rest post-concussion
  3. Should not retunr to sports until successful return to academics
  4. Slow progression in return to activity from dialy activity that do not provoke sx’s, to light exercise, ending w/ full retun to play

Q

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury “MTBI”

-Assessment

A
  1. HCP’s should use an age-appropriate, VALIDATED sx’s rating scale as a component of the diagnostic evaluation in children seen w/ acute mTBI
  2. Reassure parents that most children 70-80% will fully recover in 1-3 months after injury
  3. Recovery from mTBI is variable but coaching has positive effects on recovery
  4. Headaches persist longer in girls after mTBI

Q

Types of injuries specific to children

A
  1. Buckle fx - Compression injury (Most commonly radius - FOOSH - fall on onstretched hand
  2. Greenstick - Bone is bend w/ a fracture line
  3. Plastic deformation - Bowing fracture - bone is bent beyond ability to recoil

All of the above injuries are resultatn of forceful axial loading w/ resultant bony failure in compression and bending

  1. Physeal fx - “growth plate fx” salter-Harris classification
17
Q

Salter-Harris Fracture

A
  1. Fracture involving the growth plate and very serious - can delay growth if not treated appropriately
18
Q

Legg-Calve-Perthes Dx (HIP PAIN)

A
  1. Leg or hip pain **
  2. Avascular necrosis
  3. Unilateral and more likely male and ages 3-12
  4. Get Xray and MRI
19
Q

Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis SCFE

A
  1. Femoral epiphysis slips posteriorly resulting in limp and impaired internal rotaiton HIP PAIN
  2. Obesity and early adolecsence Risk factor
  3. May follow mild trauma
  4. Often will have a LIMP and hiup pain — May have pain to knee or thigh
  5. Urgent referral to Ortho or ED TEST - Non weight bearing — Surgery
20
Q

Pelvis Frog Leg Xray

A
  1. Order a Pelvis Frog-leg xray when a child has hip pain
21
Q

Osgood-Shlatter Disease (KNEE PAIN)

A
  1. Microtrauma to patellar tendon at its insertion point on the tibial tuberosity caused by tension at the insertion
  2. MOST common in adolescents after a growth spurt — MALES more than females
  3. Pain with extension against resistance, stress on quads or squatting
  4. Swelling/heat/ point tenderness over tibial tuberosity — Full ROM to knee
  5. This is diagnosed clinically, avoid activities that cause pain, Physical therapy
22
Q

Calcaneal Apophysitis (HEEL PAIN)

A
  1. Growth plate of acchilles tendon insertion
  2. Overuse causes inflammation of the insertion point causing heel pain
  3. 8-12 yrs old
  4. Pt history and Squeeze test
  5. Treat with
    - Ice, limited activity, NSAID’s heel cup
23
Q

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip DDH

A
  1. Spectrum of disorders seen in infancy r/t to development of the hip resulting in instability
  2. Screened at birth and 9 months or walking

    - If unsure, order an US of the hip
24
Q

Genu Varum

A
  1. Bowing in the legs - Can be physiologic vs pathologic

    - Usual onset age 5
    - Usualy associated with growthspurt**

    - wear pattern on the soles of shoes
    - Soles of feet
    - Joints
    - Limb length discrepincy
32
Q

Antalgic Gait

A
  1. Short stance phase caused by pain in the weight bearing extremity
33
Q

Trendelenburn gait

A
  1. Downward pelvic tilt during swing phase caused by weakness or spasm in the contralateral gluteus medius muscle
34
