colles fracture
what nerve may be injured
FOOSH
dorsally displaced distal radius
dinner fork deformity
median nerve
boxer frac
punch hard surface like wall
= minimally displaced frac of 5th metacarpal
smiths frac
reverse colles
fall backwards onto palm of outstretched hand or
fall w wrists flexed
anterior displacement of frac
garden spade deformity
bartons frac
distal radius frac ie colles/smiths w associated radiocarpal dislocation
fall onto extended and pronated wrist
scaphoid frac presentation and intial mx
FOOSH
pain along radial aspect of the wrist, at the base of the thumb
loss of grip/ pinch strength

garden classification of INTRACAPSULAR hip frac
- I – incomplete, non-displaced
- II – complete, non-displaced
III – partial displacement
IV – full displacement
garde class INTRACAPSULAR hip frac tx
I and II – internal fixation
III and IV – blood supply disrupted so needs to be removed and replaced:
Hemiarthroplasty – leaves acetabulum – limited mobility/co-morbidities
Total hip replacement – fit, can walk
Extracapsular frac of hip mx
blood supply remiains intact
Intertrochanteric – Dynamic hip screw
- Subtrochanteric – Intramedullary nail
hip frac presentation
shortened
abducted
externally rotated
how to measure pressure in compartment syndrome
needle manometry
acute compartment syndrome
pain on ankle dorsiflexion
after injury ie frac or crush
= faciotomy emergency

lesions may later ulcerate
resp involvement = massive haemoptysis and pleural effusion
radiotherapy and resection
meniscal tears presenation
twisting movements
pop sound
pain, gradual swelling, stiffness,
reduced ROM
locking giving way
meniscal tears ix and tx
1st = MRI
gold standard = arthroscopy
RICE
nsaids physio
ACL injury
twisting injury pain ‘pop’
rapid swelling
mri athroscopy
RICE nsaids, crutches, physio
athroscopic surgery
osgood schlatter age and what is it
10-15

starts w tender lump –> hard non tender
pain anterior knee worse on excercise
