Q

what two maneuvers can you do to assess for hip dysplasia

A

ortolani - abduction and elevation - reduces the hip

Barlow - gentle adduction without downward pressure – dislocates the hip

galeazzi test - flex hip and knees so that ankles are near buttocks; test is positive if knees are at different heights

biopsy - definitive

labs - increased alkaline phosphatase

CT to evaluate lungs

23
Q

tx osteosarcoma

A

neovascular - chemo + surgical removal w amputation

not neovascular - limb-sparing resection

36
Q

dx nursemaid’s elbow

A

radiographs

37
Q

tx nursemaid’s elbow

can repeat two times

38
Q

osgood schlatter disease is also called

A

tibial tuberosity avulsion

39
Q

osgood-schlatter disease is due to

A

inflammation of the patellar tendon at the insertion of the tibial tubercle due to overuse or small avulsions from repetitive knee extension and quad contraction

40
Q

A

activity-related anterior knee pain and swelling
relieved with rest

may have bony prominence, swelling, and tenderness to the anterior tibial tubercle
