PANCE Prep- MSK/Rheum Flashcards
Most common type of shoulder dislocation and its MOI
anterior
-arm abducted, externally rotated
“Squared off shoulder”
What is a Hill-Sachs lesion?
groove on humeral head (compression fracture from impact against glenoid)
(Hill- in the GROOVE)
What is a Bankart lesion?
glenoid inferior rim fracture
BACK on glenoid rim
How do you Dx and Tx an anterior shoulder dislocation?
DX: axillary and Y view xray: humeral head inferior/anterior to glenoid fossa
TX: reduction w/ pinprick* sensation over deltoid to r/o axillary nerve injury**
What muscles make up the rotator cuff
SITS
- Supraspinatus—- tear to this is MC
- Infraspinatus
- Teres minor
- Subscapularis
Describe PE findings for rotator cuff tear
- passive ROM> active ROM
- empty can tests- supraspinatus strength
Impingement tests:
- empty can tests- supraspinatus strength
- Hawkins: anterior pain w/ internal rotation of humerus while shoulder/elbow at 90degrees
- Drop arm test
- Neer Test: arm fully pronated w/ thumb down and pain w/ forward flexion
- suprasinpatus test: pain w/ abduction against resistance
Describe Type 1, 2, and 3 shoulder separations
Type 1: ligamental sprain- nl CXR
Type 2: AC ligament ruptured, CC ligament sprained- slightly widening CXR
Type 3: AC and CC ligaments ruptured- significant widening on CXR
TX of shoulder separation
brief sling immobilization, ice, pain control and ortho f/u
What nerve injuries must be ruled out in proximal humerus/humeral head fx and humeral shaft fx
- proximal humerus/humeral head fx: brachial plexus or axillary nerve- check deltoid sensation
- humeral shaft fx: radial nerve injury- may cause wrist drop
MC fractured bone in children, adolescents and newborns during birth
clavicle fx
**in children <2 suspect abuse
adhesive capulitis is most common in who
40-60s w/ DM or hypothyroidism
**due to inflammation
What is thoracic outlet syndrome?
idiopathic compression of brachial plexus (95%), subclavian vein (5%) or subclavian artery (1%)
Clinical manifestations of thoracic outlet syndrome
- nerve compression: pain/paresthesia to forearm, arm or ULNAR SIDE of hand
- vascular compression: swelling/discoloration esp. w/ abduction of arm
- PE: + Adson: loss of radial pulse w/ head rotated to affected side
complications of supracondylar humerus frcatures
- median nerve and brachial artery injury: Vokmann ischemic contracture- claw like deformity from ischemia w/ flexion/contracture of wrist
- radial nerve injury
Presentation:
- MOI: FOOSH
- lateral (radial) elbow pain, inability to fully extend the elbow w/ a + fat pad sign on XR
radial head fx
What is Kanavel’s signs?
FLEXor tenosynovitis (infection of the flexor tendon synovial sheath of the finger- MC w/ s. aureus)
- Finger held in flexion
- Length of tendon sheath is tender
- Enlarged finger (fusiform swelling of the finger)
- Xtension of the finger causes pain (pain w/ passive extension)**
Presentation:
- MOI: direct blow to flexed elbow
- inability to extend the elbow
- complication: ulnar nerve dysfunction
olecranon fracture
Presentation:
abrupt “goose egg” swelling (boggy, red elbow) w/ limited ROM w/ flexion
olecranon bursitis
tx of olecranon bursitis
rest, NSAIDS, local steroid injection, avoid repetitive motions
an Ulnar shaft fx is also called ___
nightstick fracture
What is a Monteggia fracture
fx of proximal ulnar shaft fracture w/ an anterior radial head dislocation
What is a Galeazzi fracture
fx of mid-distal radial shaft w/ dislocation of distal radioulnar joint
what do Monteggia and Galeazzi fractures have in common?
BOTH UNSTABLE and need ORIF
Monteggia: fx of proximal ulnar shaft fracture w/ an anterior radial head dislocation
Galeazzi: fx of mid-distal radial shaft w/ dislocation of distal radioulnar joint
radial nerve injury presents as ___
axillary nerve injury presents as __
peroneal nerve injury presents as ___
- wrist drop
- loss of pinprick sensation on deltoid
- foot drop
