MS II Flashcards
Anterior dislocation occurs with ?
external rotation and abduction
Humeral head lies inferiorly and medial to the glenoid ( and anterior ) for what ?
Anterior dislocation dislocation fo shoulder
What is most common shoulder dislocation ?
anterior
- *this does not alway happen but we see this when patients have had dislocations in the past
- *
Hill-Sachs deformity (more common according to sample) ?
Indentation on the posterosuperior portion of the humeral head
** “on top of the hill”
when it goes down and inferior it strikes the glenoid process **
Bankart deformity ?
Bony irregularity or fragment of the glenoid
What is the bets view for shoulder dislocation ?
✪ Best view- transscapular view (“Y” view)
scapula and the humeral head should be in the center of the Y or when the glenoid process, acromiun process ( know the three parts of the Y)
AC separation grades ?
1 - strain
2 - tear
3- dislocation ( complete separation of the clavicle from the acroimun process)
AC separation ?
when someone falls onto a shoulder it is a high impact injury (fall down hard) ATV or dirt bike accident
cartilage and ligament that attack clavicle to acronym and when you tear them then you get separation and cause the clavicle to lie superiorly to the acromium process
weight bearing films ( it pulls down on the humeral head and acromium process and makes the dislocation look more obvious ( weight bearings films are the Gold standard!)
Elbows we want to remember to look for ?
fat pads
sometimes we dont see the fractures so we look for these fat pad signs
fat pad by the posterior part of the distal humorous
fracture causes bleeding in the joint pushes the fat pad out of the joint and we can see it in the fat pad (“ blown out cell”)
xray with no obvious fracture but we see a fat pad sign then we are going to treat it like a fracture and splint it and everything etc .
Elbow: fat pad sign normal location ?
Normally posterior fat pad is tucked into the olecranon bursa
Elbow: fat pad sign occurs cause the fat pad is displaced by ?
bleeding fracture
what is the “sail sign” ?
bowed anterior fat pad
By your elbow the ulna is ___ and the radius is _____
big
small
Bennett fracture occurs in the ?
hand
Bennett fracture occurs where?
Base of the thumb into the carpometacarpal joint.
**fracture at the base of the thumb at the carpal and metacarpal joint - almost always needs surgery cause it goes into the intraacular joint **
Bennett fracture almost always requires ?
surgical fixation
Comminuted bennett fracture ?
Rolando fx.
Mallet Finger is in the ?
hand
Mallet Finger is a ________ injury at the base of the _____ phalanx
Avulsion
distal
Mallet Finger is a ______ tendon injury
extensor
** the extensor tendon is snapped ( jams finger really hard) cant straighten it out ( when it snapped it takes a chunk of bone off the distal phalanx) evulsion injury which sometime fluxation
you need to separate the joints when examine the fingers ( **
Jersey finger is a _______ tendon injury
flexor
** they can keep it in extension but the cannot flex it **
Gamekeeper’s thumb is an ________ on the _____ aspect of the ______ MCP joint
Avulsion
ulnar
1st
***when people used t filed dress a rabbit and peeling the skin back forcefully and get there thumb caught ans snap there thumb back
it creates an injury at the base of the thumb ( it is in evulsionn injury cause the tendon is pulling part of the bone)
aka Skiers thumb**
Boxer’s fracture caused by ?
punching mechanism
Boxer’s fracture is of the ?
4th or 5th metacarpals
- *typically 5th metacarpal distal portion and usually the next ( maybe the 4th )
- *
**look for sissoring of the fingers when the make a fist the pinky moved inward and gets stuck under the ring finger **
Boxer’s fracture can sometimes involve the ?
Sometimes 2nd and 3rd are included in the diagnosis.
Hand bones ?
Trapezium
Trapezoid
Capitate
hamate
triquetrum
lunate
scaphoid
pisiform
Lunate/Perilunate Dislocation occurs when?
ligaments between the lunate and the capitate are disrupted
Lunate/Perilunate Dislocation best view ?
lateral view
Lunate/Perilunate Dislocation different in the way the bone is ?
situated
perilunate - complete dislocation of the capitate off the lunate
lunate - looks like a spilled tea cup
Scaphoid Fracture tx?
clinically
Scaphoid Fracture is frequently missed on ?
XR
Scaphoid Fracture: cast wrist and repeat XR in __ wk?
1
Scaphoid Fracture has a high risk of ?
avascular necrosis
**avascular necrosis and loss of function of the rest ( cause blood supply goes distally and the comes back proximally ) **
Triquetral Fracture best seen on a ?
lateral view XR
