A

Ankle

  • Common lower extremity fracture
  • Mechanism: torsion•Non-displaced – immmobilization
  • Displaced - surgery
20
Q

Ankle Sprain

A
  • Common lower extremity injury
  • Mechanism–Inversion–Eversion
  • Treatment–Non-surgical–Surgical
21
Q

Lateral Collateral Ligaments

A
  • Anterior Talofibular Ligament–First injured in lateral sprain with plantarflexed ankle (most common)
  • Calcaneofibular Ligament–Strongest lateral ligament–First injured in lateral sprain with dorsiflexed ankle
  • Posterior Talofibular Ligament
22
Q

Medial collateral ligaments

A

•Superficial–Superficial talotibial, naviculotibial, and calcaneotibial fibers–•Deep–Deep anterior talotibial and posterior talotibial fibers from posterior colliculus to talus–Strongest portion of the Deltoid ligament

23
Q
A

Pelvis fractures

  • Major trauma•Potentially life-threatening – hemorrhage
  • Treament–External fixation–ORIF
24
Q
A

Cervical spine

  • Potentially life threatening•Life altering
  • Early and accurate diagnosis critical
  • Spinal cord injury common
  • Treament principles–Stability–Preservation of function
  • Treatment– collar–Halo–Surgery
25
Q

Mechanism of spine injury

A
  • Compression–Axial loading–Football–Diving
  • Hyperextension–Falls
  • Hyperflexion–Motor vehicle accidents
26
Q
A

Dislocation

traction to acheive reduction

definite treatment: arthrodesis

27
Q

Spinal cord injury

A
  • Lifespan–Overall 86% at 10y–>29, 50% at 10 yr
  • Immobilization
  • Lifestyle changes
  • Physical complications
  • $600,000-1,000,000 per patient
28
Q
A

Thoracolumbar spine injuries

  • Mechanism–Falls–MVA
  • Often assoc with multiple trauma
  • Spinal cord injury common
29
Q
A

Burst fracture

30
Q
A

Pediatric distal radius

  • Common injury
  • Mechanism: fall on outstretched hand
  • Usually treated with closed reduction and casting
31
Q
A

Pediatric forearm

  • Mechanism: falls
  • Treament–Closed reduction–Flexible nails in older children
  • Complication: loss of forearm rotation
32
Q
A

Pediatric growth plate fractures

  • Usually treated closed
  • Accurate reduction is goal
  • Complication: growth disturbance
33
Q

Growth arrest

A
  • Uncommon
  • Results from injury to physis
  • Treatment–Excision of bar–Osteotomy to correct deformity
34
Q
A

Pediatric femur fractures

  • Common injury

36
Q

Mechanism of distal femoral physical fracture

A

•Mechanism: falls, direct or indirect trauma•Treatment–Reduction and casting–Flexible nails in older children
