Musculoskeletal Flashcards
Congenital Torticollis
Rotation of the head and limited range of motion r/t a contracted sternocleidomastoid muscle; head tilts in direction of affected muscle
usually appears as a firm, fibrous mass or tightness in the sternocleidomastoid muscle at approximately 2 weeks of age
Ortolani Manuever
a test of hip reduction, produces the reduction of the femoral head into the acetabulum by adbuction
O means the hip is out - and the maneuver works to put the head back into a normal position
Barlow manuever
determines whether the femoral head can be dislocated from the acetabulum; brought from the adducted to abducted position
Sprengels Deformity
an abnormally small, elevated scapula
Erb’s Palsy
complete or partial paralysis of the shoulder muscles as a result of injury to the cranial nerves 5, 6, and sometimes 7
grasp reflex remains intact
Klumpke’s Palsy
“good shoulder, bad hand” injury
involves cranial nerve 8 and thoracic nerve 1
Complete Brachial Plexus Palsy
injury to the plexus at all levels, paralysis of the wrist, hand, shoulder, arm
in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hips, _______ are twice as likely to be affected than _______ and the ______ hip is more likely to be affected than the ________.
females are twice as likely as males, and the left is more likely to be affected then the right
Genu Recurvatum
congenital dislocation or hyperextension of the knee
thought to result from frank breech positioning
Syndactyly associated syndromes
Apert’s or streeters dysplasia
caused during week 6-8 of gestation by failure of the usual necrosis of skin that normally separates the fingers
Congenital Bands Patho
exact etiology unknown, but it is suspected to be a result of an abnormal attachment of the amnion to the fetus b/c the amnion has lost its integrity or adhered to a fetal body part
