Q

Which line is used to suggest supracondylar fracture?

most common paeds elbow fracture.

A

Anterior humeral line: the anterior humeral line should pass through the middle of the ossified capitellum on the lateral view. If abnormal, suggests supracondylar fracture.

Q

Ricket is a metabolic bone disorder caused by inadequate ………..

A

Vitamin D

35
Q

What is the diagnosis?

Expansion, fraying and cupping of long bone metaphyses associated with adjacent periosteal new bone

A

Ricket

36
Q

The effect of Ricket on ribs

A

Classic rachitic rosary - anterior cupping of the ribs with widening of the rib epiphyseal cartilage

37
Q

Name the variant of Ricket rickets seen with non ossifying fibroma due to tumour metabolites causing deranged vit D metabolism

A

Oncogenic Ricket

38
Q

Wimberger sign vs wimberger ring sign

A

Wimberger sign is seen in syphilis - destructive erosion of medial aspect of proximal tibial metaphysis

wimberger ring sign in scurvy - increased density of ossification centre

There are many named findings in Scurvy radiology, most of which are outlined here.

39
Q

Name one condition causing symmetrical periosteal reaction in a child

A

Syphilis

40
Q

JIA is usually Rh factor ….

A

Negative

41
Q

What is the diagnosis?

< 5 yrs presenting with fever , anaemia , leukocytosis, hepatosplenomegaly and polyarthritis

A

Still disease = JIA + systemic illness

intermittent spiking fevers are typically noted, which helps distinguish JIA from other diseases such as infection, other inflammatory diseases and malignancy.

Migratory salmon coloured light pink rash involving the trunk and/or extremities and hepatosplenomegaly are also frequently observed in patients with systemic onset.
