44
diagnostics to evaluate toddlers fracture
* AP * lateral * obliques * often not seen on initial films
45
management of toddlers fracture
* immobilize (splint, wee walker) * refer to ortho * NWB, NSAIDs
46
diagnostics to evaluate ankle fx
* AP * mortise * lateral * internal and external obliques
47
what must you r/o when evaluating ankle fx
* physeal widening (SH 1 fx) * clinical diagnosis: very tender over distal tib or fib physis
48
management of ankle fx
* posterior splint * avoid ACE * elevation * NWB * NSAIDs
49
What is a Triplane ankle fx
* MOI: external rotation * SH III on AP view; SH II on lateral view * must get CT to assess displacement * may require surgical fixation vs closed reduction
50
What is a Jones, Psuedo-Jones/Avulsion fx
* fracture to the base of the 5th metatarsal * due to pull of peroneus brevis at its insertion as wall as plantar aponeurosis
51
what is unilateral contraction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle with visible shortening called
torticollis
52
etiology of torticollis
compartment syndrome secondary to venous outflow obstruction
53
treatment of torticollis
* stretching/PT
54
define scoliosis
lateral curve of spine \> 10 degrees
55
adolescent scoliosis is defined as
age \> 10 yo

60
How can you differentiate between septic hip and transient synovitis
