Leg positioning:
Proximal femur fracture Anterior hip dislocation Posterior hip dislocation Septic hip SCFE
Proximal femur fracture: abducted and externally rotated
Anterior hip dislocation: abducted and externally rotated
Posterior hip dislocation: adducted and internally rotated
Septic hip: FABER (flex, abduct, external rotation)
SCFE: no abduction or internal rotation
Triplane fracture

Hyperextension: anterior dislocation
Figure of 8 is used to treat
Clavicle fracture
humerus fracture + associated forearm fracture=
floating elbow
Colles vs Smith wrist fractures
Colles: Outward MOI, dorsal displacement, dinner fork deformity
Smith: Inward MOI, volar displacement
Distal Radius fx with disruption of
DRUJ/TFCC
Galeazzi fracture
Medial border of the snuffbox
Extensor pollicis longus
Lateral border of the snuffbox
Extensor pollicis brevis
abductor pollicis longus
IP dislocation is more commonly
dorsal
Finger most common in jersey finger
ring finger
Jersey finger vs mallet finger:
Jersey: Flexor rupture, volar pain
Mallet: Extensor rupture
Stener lesion
Game Keepers Thumb (Skiers Thumb)
Adductor pollicis muscle becomes interposed
between UCL and base of proximal phalanx which
prevents healing of UCL
