Peadiatrics Flashcards
What factors are associated with outcomes of a distal femoral fracture
SH classification
presence of displacement
open fracture
presence of hardware across the physis
direction of displacement is not associated with outcome
Findings of osteopetrosis
Inability to acidify the howship lacunae
AR not compatible with life
AD compatible with life
Rugger jersey spine multiple fractures coxa vera (stress fractures) deafness blindness anemia frequent infections
Radiographic indicators of both bone forearm fractures following reduction
On AP biceps and radial styloid are 180 degrees apart
On Lateral ulnar styloid and coronoid are 180 degrees apart
Complications and concerns following transphyseal distal humerus injury
posteromedial displacement
child abuse
closed reduction and splinting
pin if very displaced
Varus
medial condyle AVN
(no risk of tardy ulnar nerve palsy)
Phenotype of diastropic dysplasia
defect in sulphate transporter affecting cartilage
cauliflower ear
hitchikers thumb
symphangalisism
kyphosis c-spine
Fracture associated with highest morbidity and mortality
spine
Acceptable angulation of a radial neck fracture
30 degrees
begin ROM early to prevent stiffness
Percutaneous pinning
Open reduction - associated with stiffness and increased risk of AVN
Reduction technique for radial neck fracture
Patterson - extension and supnation
Isralei - flexion and pronation
Compression bandage
K-wire joystick
Metaizeau - retrograde nail across fracture
complications of radial neck fracture
stiffness (loss of pronation)
radial head ON
synostosis (open, delayed)
radial head overgrowth (40%)
Multifocal mycobacterial infection
Polyarthrosis swelling
elevated ESR
from foreign place
spine (50%), large joints, long bones
subchondral erosions with diffuse osetopenia
treatement with Abx
Surgery for residual constitutional sx
Best predictors of septic hip
Fever CRP ESR Refusal to bear weight WBC
In that order
Bones with intra-articular metaphyses
shoulder
elbow
hip
ankle
Indications for surgical treatment of proximal humerus fracture
usually can be treated nonoperativley because of ability to heal and remodel
open
NV
> 45 degrees
Drop in BP intraop myelomeningocele
latex allergy
IGE mediated
Risk factors for spina bifida
DM2
maternal hyperthermia
valproic acid
folate deficiency
10% have chromosomal abnormality
Level of myelomeningocele at risk for hip dislocation
L3-4
(level is the lowest functioning level)
usually confined to wheelchair
L5 is more normal functioning
Procedure to correct calcaneus heel in L5 level
posterior transfer of tib ant
Larsen syndrome
hyperlaxity, presents with multiple dislocations
at risk for cervical kyphosis
Scoliosis with no curve and assymetric abdominal reflex
syrinx
most common cause of malignant back pain
leukemia
lower extremity growth
Proximal femur - 3mm
Distal Femur - 9mm
Proximal tibia - 6mm
