MSK/derm Flashcards
Rotator cuff muscle functions
Subscap- internal rotation
infraspinatus/teres minor- externatl rotation
supraspinatus/deltoid- abduction
Indication for surgical release of Dupuytren’s contracture
MCP contracture 30 deg –OR– any degree of contracture of PIP
**intralesional injection may reduce need for surgery in grade I disease
Best test for ACL tear
Lachman more sens/spec than ant drawer
management of achilles tendonopathy
eccentric calf strengthening
When to refer for scoliosis
Cobb angle >20
-potential for future growth, female sex are other considerations
nursemaids elbow
subluxation of head of radius from annular ligament
mgmt of 5th metatarsal fracture
non-displaced tuberosity – aircast, weight bare, exercises
avulsion fracture <3mm displaced – short boot
avulsion >3mm displaced – ortho ref
Dx SI joint dysfunction
+FABER w/ pain in SI joint, lumbar spine, post hip
Dx piriformis syndrome
+ log roll test (passive supine internal and external rotation)
Dx femoroacetabular impingement
+ faber with pain in GROIN
Injection location for rotoator cuff tendonitis
subacromial space– only if interferes with pain and function despite NSAIDs
scabies
likes folds of skin/web spaces eczematous
bed bugs
diffuse, areas oof body where you are not clothed like limbs
T/f steroids can be curative of trigger finger?
TRUE, but not always
not curative for long trm mgmt of other joints
Fibromyalgia tx
SSRI = tricyclics for pain
no effect on sleep or fatigue
cubital tunnel syndrome
peripheral ulnar neuropathy
Causes ulnar nerve dist parasthesias and intrinsic muscle weakness –> difficulty with coordination and weakness
Wartenberg’s syndrome
compression of superficial radial nerve
pronator syndrome
proximal median nerve neuropathy
mgmt of minimally displaced mid clavicular fracture
sling 2-6 weeks, passive ROM when no pain, PT at 4 weeks
**refer if significantly displaced
pharm treatment of ACUTE low back pain (evidence based)
Nsaids OR muscle relaxants (no benefit for both)
Or nonpharm tx- heat, acupuncture, massage, chiro
gottron’s sign
non-palpable macules over extensor surface of joints seen in DERMATOMYOSITIS
jones fx mgmgt
metadiaphyseal fracture of 5th metatarsel
-active patients have shorter healing time and return to activity with surgery
-if non op, then post splint 3-5 days, short walking cast 6 weeks, reimage
immobilization after shoulder dislocation?
3week <30
1 week>30
at risk for adhesive capsulitis
tx of shingles vs post herpetic neuralgia
singles = val/acyclovir
post herpetic neuralgia= gabapentin, can do nerve blocks if two weeks from rash
tx of dequervains tenosynovitis
NSAIDs and thumb spica for 1-4 weeks
- use injection if refractory to above
- pain CAN last up to one year if not tx’d early
when to image low back pain
concern for:
- cauda equina
- cancer (hx of cancer that mets to bone)
- fracture
- infection
