Musculoskeletal DZ Flashcards
Function of supraspinatus muscle
Abducts arm initially
Lumbar puncture is in line with what structure?
Iliac crest
Most common rotator cuff injury?
Supraspinatus. Abducts arm initially
Pitching injury - what muscle
Infraspinatus
Dislocation of this bone may cause acute carpal tunnel syndrome
Lunate
Patient with a fracture of supracondylar humerus. Motor defect?
Median nerve. Decreased Opposition of thumb, Lateral finger flexion, wrist flexion
Patient with subluxation of radius. N affected?
Deep branch of radial nerve
Dislocation of humeral head. What nerve is affected? (And roots)
Axillary nerve (C5-T1)
Fracture and midshaft humerus. Muscles affected?
Brachioradialis, extensors wrist and fingers, supinator, triceps
Fracture of medial epicondyles humorous?
Ulnar nerve C8, T1
Patient with the disappearance of the radial pulse upon moving ahead with the ipsilateral side. Other findings?
Atrophy of interosseus muscles
Atrophy of the thenar and hypothenar eminences
Sensory defects on the medial side of the forearm
Patient that can’t extend PIP and DIP. Muscles also control?
Lumbricals. Also control flexion at MCP
Patient with achondroplasia. Mech?
Activating mutation of FGF3 - inhibits chondrocyte growth
Treatment for mild versus severe osteoporosis
SERMs and calcitonin versus biphosphonate and pulsitile PTH
Patient with decreased visual acuity, trouble hearing, hydrocephalus, and renal tubular acidosis? Treatment?
Osteopetrosis. Smaller foramina for nerves and defect in carbonic anhydrase prevents bone resorption and causes Renal tubular necrosis. Tx is BM transplant
Patient with decreased calcium increased PTH and decreased phosphate. Other lab findings?
Osteomalacia. Increased Alk phos.
Patient complains about difficulty hearing. Comes in later with cardiogenic shock. Cause of shock?
Paget’s disease of bone. AV shunts cause heart failure.
X-ray of patient’s bone shows a lytic focus with surrounding sclerosis
Osteomyelitis
Patient with decreased serum calcium and increased Alk phos. X-ray shows?
Osteopetrosis. X-ray shows thick dense bones
Patient with decreased serum calcium and serum phosphate. Increased PTH and increased Alk phos
Osteomalacia
Patient with increased serum calcium, decreased serum phosphate, increased parathyroid hormone, and increase Alk phos. Findings?
Osteitis fibrosa cystica. Brown tumors.
Patient with precocious puberty, brown patches on skin. Changes to bone?
McCune Albright. Replacement of bone by fibroblasts and collagen. irregular bony trabeculae
Patient presents with tumor on the epiphyseal end of the distal femur. X-ray finding? Histo?
Giant cell tumor. Soap bubble sign on x-ray. Spindle-shaped cells with multinucleated giant cells
Young male presents with Malignancy arising from bone that projects laterally from growth plate. Location?
Osteochondroma. Metaphysis.
Patient with bone pain Around the distal femur. X-ray shows triangle and burst pattern on x-ray. RFs?
Osteosarcoma. Radiation, retinoblastoma, pagets disease of bone.
Boy under 15 presents with a bone tumor.
Ewing’s
