Q

<p>What does plantar bruising make you concerned for?</p>

If this is lacking and especially if there is lateral talar shift, consider syndesmotic injury.</span></p></li> </ul>”

A

<ul> <li><strong>Lateral view:</strong><br></br> <ul> <li>distal humerus fracture line</li> <li>less than 1/3 of the capitellum is anterior to the anterior humeral line (both indicate supracondylar humerus fracture)</li> <li>raised posterior and anterior fat pads (indicates joint effusion)</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>AP view:</strong> <ul> <li>fracture line</li> <li>no apparent intra-articular involvement, rotation, angulation or displacement</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Both views:</strong> <ul> <li>surrounding soft tissue swelling (elbow injury - non-specific but are a result of the # in this case)</li> </ul> </li> </ul>

70
Q

“Describe this X-Ray<div><img></img><br></br></div>”

A

<ol> <li>There is significant soft tissue swelling, which indicates that the elbow has been dislocated.</li> <li>The medial epicondyle is seen entrapped within the joint.</li> <li>There is only minor joint effusion (medial epicondyle is an extra-articular structure; avulsion will not produce joint effusion). The small amount of joint effusion is probably the result of the prior dislocation.</li> </ol>

<b>Pain management in children in acute surgical causes</b>

A

<div>· Intranasal medications: fentanyl (1-2ug/kg), midazolam (0.2-0.3mg/kg; anxiolysis often is helpful), ketamine (1mg/kg); max volume 0.5-1mL/nare</div>

<div>· Nebulized fentanyl (3mcg/kg/dose via standard nebulizer)</div>

<div>· Inhaled nitrous oxide</div>

<div>· Make liberal use of EMLA/Ametop prior to procedures/IV insertion if time permits</div>

<div>· Use LET (lidocaine-epinephrine-tetracaine) gel for open or mucosal wounds - apply as soon as possible and cover with occlusive dressing</div>

<div>· Consider a hematoma block or ultrasound guided peripheral nerve block</div>

<div>· NSAIDs/acetaminophen are always reasonable</div>

<div>· Oral opioids or IV opioids are also acceptable and should be used with appropriate care in patients with moderate to severe pain</div>
