Ortho Flashcards
fracture after bone compression
bone cortex does not break
buckle or torus fractures
buckle or torus fractures typically occur in
metaphysis
buckle or torus fractures heal after
4weeks
fracture where both sides of bony cortex are fractured
complete fx
fx where bone is angulated beyond limits of plastic deformation
greenstick fx
where no fracture line seen on xray but bone is bent beyond limit of plastic deformation
not a true fx
bowing fx
type 1 salter harris
transvers fx through physis
growth distrubance unusual
type 2 salter harris
fx through portion of physis and metaphysis
type 3 salter harris
fx through portion of physis and epiphysis
type 4 salter harris
fx through metaphysis, physis, and epiphysis
type 5 salter harris
crush injury to physis
most common fx salter harris
type 2
fx where tend to not remodel well
intra-articular fx
angulated or displaced diaphyseal dx
rotated fx
fx deformity on range of motion
two types of developmental dysplasia of hip
teratologic (spina bifida, arthrogryposis)
typical
relative shortening of femur
asymmetric skin folds
flexing an infant’s knees when they are lying down so that the feet touch the surface and the ankles touch the buttocks. If the knees are not level then the test is positive, indicating a potential congenital hip malformation
galeazzi sign
or allis sign
component of barlow test
- patient is supine, hip and knee flexed at 90
- one hand to stabilize pelvis, other hand to ADDUCT (toward) the hip and apply posterior pressure on the anterior aspect of hip
- positive is “clunk”
componenet of ortalani
- patient supine, knees and hip flexed at 90
- one hand to stabilize pelvis, other hand to ABDUCT (away) the hip and apply anterior pressure on the posterior aspect of hip
- positive is “clunk”
used to diagnose bilateral developmental dysplasia of hip
klisic test
component of klisic test
place one finger at greater trochanter and the ASIS
an imaginary line drawn between the two normal leads to umbilicus
in DDH, greater trochanter is more elevated so line wont hit umbilicus
treatment for DDH less than 6mo
