musculoskeletal Flashcards
fracture through bilateral pars interarticularis of C2 due to hyperextension injury
hangman fracture
oblique fracture through C7 spinous process or cervical prominence
clay shovellers fracture
anterior compression of the vertebral body
or horizontal fracture through the spinous process and vertebral body due to hyperflexion-distraction injury involving the lapbelt
seatbelt fracture pr chance fracture
most common primary bone tumor in the elderly
multiple myeloma
moth eaten spine
punched out / lytic lesions
multiple myeloma
most common primary bone tumor in children
osteosarcoma
starburst pattern
osteosarcoma
fish vertebral - biconcave and end plate compression of the vertebral bodies
osteoporosis
drugs that can cause osteoporosis
steroids
heparin
drug of choice for osteoporosis
alwndronate
young males with ulcerative colitis presenting with fusion of the sacroiliac joint (bamboo spine)
ankylosing spondylitis
humeral head fracture
hill sach fracture
glenoid labrum fracture
bankart fracture
children who fell with an outstretched arm causing fracture through the supracondylar region
supracondylar fracture
direct injury to the ulna that causes fracture through the shaft of the mid ulna
nightstick fracture
most common fracture of the forearm
colles fracture
elderly who falls on an outstretched hand causing distal radial fracture with dorsal angulation
colles fracture
silver fork deformity
4th or 5th metacarpal bone fracture
boxers fracture
base of the 1st metacarpal with intraarticular extension
bennett fracture
comminuted bennett fracture
rolando fracture
burst fracture of C1 due to compression injury to the head
jefferson fracture
fracture plane passes all the way through the growth plate, not involving bone
cannot occur if the growth plate is fused reference required
good prognosis
TYPE 1 - slipped
75% (by far the most common)
fracture passes across most of the growth plate and up through the metaphysis
good prognosis
TYPE II - above
7-10%
fracture plane passes some distance along the growth plate and down through the epiphysis
poorer prognosis as the proliferative and reserve zones are interrupted
TYPE III - lower
