A

left hip because left goes under right in the foetal position

77

when do the vertebrae parts fuse?

A

3-5 years of age

78

ddx of back pain in kids

A
neoplasm
infection
UTI
OM
diskitis
spondylosis
disk herniation

A

diskitis
vertebral OM
neoplasms

81
Q

pt over 10 with back pain. what is the most likely dx?

A

yes/no: do the cuneiforms have ossification centres at birth?

A

no- the cuneiforms and navicular do not have ossification centres at birth?

83

A

17-18 yo

84

majority of acetabular shape and depth is determined by what age?

A

8

85

what does a staheli arch index of over 1.15 in a child aged 6-10 mean?

A

anything over 1.15 in kids aged 6-10 is abnormal

86

in mid childhood what position should the tibia be in?

A

10 external

87
