A
  • Young mum, unwanted preg, poverty, stress - Delay in presentation, odd story, inconsistent hx compared to what you see in the child in front of you, unexplained injuries (buttock bruise, face bruise, finger grip marks, suffocation signs, whip marks, cigerette burns, forearm/rib fx’s - Inform senior , record all convo’s, inform social services

Q

?/PC/I/T and prog of each

A

Osteosarcoma - PC is that of malignant leg pains - metaphysis of bone (esp around knee) - xray showing bone destruction + new bone formation + much periosteal elevation away from underlying bone - Treat with resection and chemo (3 week cycles over 18 weeks) - 50% cure rateEwings - PC is that of malignant leg pains + fever, anorexia, weight loss - Long bones and limb girdles - Xray shows Bone destruction, concentric layers of new bone formation(onion ring sign), soft tissue mass - Treat with chemo+SCT+Bone resection +/- radiotherapy - 50% survival

Q

Common Paeds fx’s + ?

A

Greenstick - incomplete fx line = must be broken in surgery before re-alignedComplete - same as adultsPlastic deformation - bending force, no fracture line, unique to kidsBuckle - compression, often at junction of metaphysis and diaphysis

Q

Why are growth plate fx’s concerning?

A

heal quickly so must be correctly aligned or - leg length discrep/ joint incongruency/ angular deformity

Perthe’s Disease - ?/PC/I/T

A

? - osteochondritis of femoral head affecting between 3-11M 4:1 F and 90% unilateralPC - Pain in hip/knee + Limp + decreased ROM at hipI - Xray (joint space widening/fem head size down/ fem head collapseT - Bed Rest until painfree + radiographic monitoring OR if severe - surgery

Q

Slipped Upper femoral epiphysis - ?/PC/I/T/complication

A

? - displacement of growth plate and epiphysis posterior and down - typically aged 10-16 - 80% unilateral - M 3:1 F - 50% obesePC - Pain and Limping Groin/Ant thigh/knee + decreased ROM of hip in certain planesI - Lateral XrayT - Minor Slip = fixed in-situ // Severe Slip = femoral osteotomyComplication - AVN femoral head/ malunion leads to arthritis

Q

Developmental Dysplasia - ?/ 2 tests to diagnose/ CF/ T methods for each age

A

6x more common in female babies and 4x more in Left hip
Click test of ortolani and barlow manoeuvre

CF only seen in older child - Delayed walking, abnormal waddling gait, asym thigh creases, decreased abduction

T - (Neonates) double nappies then reassess in 3 weeks, if needed splint hip in mod abduction / 3 month
(6-18 month) examine under anaesthetic, arthrography, closed reduction then immobilise (splica hip bandage)
(18months) open reduction and corrective femoral/pelvic osteotomies

17
Q

Scoliosis - CF/ C/ T

A

Lateral deviation of spinal column, which is painless.
Can limit growth, or cause damage to internal organs if spine doesnt straighten.

Idiopathic, secondary to leg length discrep, DMD, cerebral palsy

T - often just observe, but sometimes requires full trunk cast (if aged

18
Q

Clubfoot (Talipas Equinovarus) - ? / T name

A

Fixed deformity of foot in neonates - Inversion, plantar flexed, sole pointing medially (cannot be passively moved)

Ponsetti method

19
Q

Discitis - Where/ CF/ I/ T

A

most commonly L3/4 or L5/S1
Pain in leg or hip + limp +/- Back pain

Seen by MRI and treated with IV antibiotics/ rest and support

SAME PATTERN AS OSTEOMYELITIS

20
Q

Cerebral Palsy - ?/ RF/ CF/ I/ T

A

combination of chronic disorders of posture + movement before age 2

Linked with pre-term births

Lower limbs more severly affected than upper limbs.
4 categories CF:
- Delayed motor devel - paralyisis, uncordinated
- evolving CNS signs - spasticity, dystonia
- learning disability - speech and lang
- Epilepsy - seizures

MRI brain will diagnose

T - depends on severity but is mostly supportive (physio, OT, SALT, surgery)

21
Q

Osgoodslatters - Who/ CF/ C/ T

A

boys between 10-14
tibial tuberosity apophysitis and quads tendonitis (pain)
C - overuse and repeated traction (leg ext against resistnace)
T - Rest

22
Q

Spina Bifida - ?/ CF/ I/ T

A

Neural tube defect, part of a spectrum of disorders in which spinal cord is abnormal - specifically, Spina B is a congenital defect, in which part of the spinal cord +/- meninges exposed through a gap in vertabra

Either Open or Closed
CF - bulging fontanelle, hydroceph, cleft lip/palate, breathing abnorm, cardiac murmur, decreased anal tone, abnorm urinary voiding

I - USS antenatally
T - Surgical closure of open wound and shunting of hydroceph and supportive + IV antibiotics

23
Q

Ant Knee Pain - ?

A

Ant knee pain worst when sitting, squatting or stairs

24
Q

Pulled Elbow - ?/ T

A

Kids under 5, caused by yanking the distal arm causing radius to dislocate (ligament overstretching)
Child will cry and refuse to use arm
T - reduction and analgesia // EXCLUDE FX first

25
Q

Back Pain in Paeds red flags

A
  • 4 weeks
  • Decreased ROM because pain
  • Neuro Signs
26
Q

5 components of Baby Check

A
  1. Erbs Palsy - paralysis of arm because birth trauma
  2. Polydactyly
  3. Foot deformities - differentiate fixed from postural
  4. Hip Exam - dev dysplasia hip

A

Growth retardation, hypotonia, apathy (infants)
Knock knees, Bow-legs, Bone deformaties

C - Vit D def (UV light, vit D diet) Ca2+ def (decreased absorption), Vit D resistant, Drug induced

28
Q

Kawasaki’s - ?

A

vasculitis inflaming small to medium arteries causing aneurysms to form (commonly aged 10 months old)

29
Q

More common in children

30
Q
