Backward
Version: head of the femur into the _________

As we stand on it, both correct
Hip comes into less ________ and less ______ ______
Between the two, we have a _____ _______
Acetabulum Femur ER Medial femoral torsion Anteversion; Medial torsion Neutral thigh
Developmental progression of varus to valgus:
Babies start off with ____ ____, then weight bear, and start going into an increased ______, then will go to normal levels of ______
Genu varum
Valgus
Valgus
Developmental progression of varus to valgus: Bones will start aligning with _____ _____
Normal WB
Developmental progression of varus to valgus: If a baby has poor head control, how do you get WB?
Put them in standers!
Developmental progression of varus to valgus: Newborn?
Moderate genu varum
Developmental progression of varus to valgus: 6 months?
Minimal genu varum
Developmental progression of varus to valgus: 1-2 years?
Legs straight
Developmental progression of varus to valgus: 2-4 years?
Physiologic genu valgum
Developmental progression of varus to valgus: 16 y.o. Female?
Slight genu valgum
Developmental progression of varus to valgus: 16 y.o male?
Slight genu varum
What is the most common form of episodic musculoskeletal pain?
Growing pains
Growing Pains: What age group is this common in?
Kids 3-12 years of age
Growing Pains: What are the 4 symptoms?
- Nonarticular, most often in shins, calves, thighs, popliteal fossa
- Almost always B/L
- Pain lasts minutes to hours in duration, mild to severe in intensity
- Pain free episodes
Growing Pains: Are there signs of inflammation on exam?
NO
Growing Pains: What is the treatment if symptomatic?
Muscle stretching
Massage
Resolve with time
Growing Pains: What medication can you take?
Tylenol
Growing Pains: What is the explanation behind this?
BONE grows quickly, but MUSCLE takes time to lengthen out
Peds. Injury: It can be either a ______ _______ or ______ _______
Single macrotrauma
Repetitive microtrauma
Peds. Injury: What is an example of single macrotrauma?
Serious contact/landing
Peds. Injury: What are 4 examples of repetitive microtrauma?
- Training errors
- Musculoskeletal imbalance (growth spurts)
- Anatomical alignment
- Footwear
Peds. Injury: What is an example of a training error?
Repeated over time
Over training/over doing/fatigue
Peds. Injury: What is an example of anatomical alignment?
Increased valgus puts body at more risk.
For example a female basketball player is at more risk than a male basketball player.
Peds. Injury: Anatomical Alignment: Turn out should be at _____, not ____ or _____
HIP
Not knee or foot!
Peds. Injury: Footwear: need shoes that ____
