Peds Flashcards
Name the syndrome:
- Congenital joint dislocations / lig laxity
- Facial dysmorphism
- Cervical kyphosis (possibly fatal)
- Clubfoot
Larsen syndrome
Ddx = arthrogryposis (joint dislocation but contractures not laxity)
Genetic mutation Larsen syndrome
FLNB gene - AD
Name the syndrome + mutation:
- Non ossifying fibromas (cortically based lucent lesions)
- Cade au lait spots
- Mandibular giant cell lesions
Jaffe Campanacci syndrome
NF1 (neurofibromin) - but NOT neurofibromatosis bc don’t have neurofibromas
Name the syndrome + mutation:
- Fibrous dysplasia
- Cafe au lait
- Precocious puberty
McCune Albright
GNAS gene = Gs alpha protein = regulates cAMP
Name the syndrome + mutation:
- Soft tissue hemangiomas
- Enchondromas
Maffucci
IDH1/2 genes = isocitrate dehydrogenase
Name the syndrome + mutation:
- Osteochondromas
MHE
EXT 1/2 - AD
Encodes EXT glycosyltransferases (heparan sulfate)
Name the syndrome + mutation:
- Phosphaturia / low serum PO4
- High alk phos
- Bowed legs
- Short stature
- Congenital
X linked hypophos rickets
X-L dom
PHEX mutation on osteocytes
Increased FGF 23 = less PO4 reabsorbed -> less vitD
Labs:
- Low PO4
- High alk phos
- Normal Ca, vit D
Treat osteoid osteoma extremities vs spine
Ext: NSAIDs -> RFA
Spine: excision (don’t want to use heat around spine)
Name the syndrome + mutation:
- Lucent lesions w/ endosteal scalloping, ground glass; no cortical disruption
- Histo= immature bone in fibrous stroma / osteoblasts rimming
- Shepherds crook prox femur
Fibrous dysplasia
Aka done remodel immature bone into mature
Missense mutation
alpha subunit GNAS = higher intracell cAMP -> activate osteoclasts
Non-op 1st
If recurrent issues, resect + reconstruction (curettage = recurs)
Ddx adamantinoma
Most common location for bipartate patella
Suplat
Dont confuse for a peds patella fracture
What age does normal genu varum become valgum?
<2 = varum
6-7yo = normal valgus
Make sure physes look normal, otherwise workup for rickets
Calcaneovalgus foot:
- Associated condition
- Treat
Calcaneovalgus
- Assc w/ postmed bowing
- Both spont resolve
If with post med bowing (not isolated), monitor for LLD
Name syndrome and mutation:
- Well circumscribed bone lesions in the legs/feet
- Histo cartilage
Multiple enchondromatosis = Ollier disease
No specific genetics (sporadic)
Monitor for malignant transformation
What lab value is associated with SCFE
Leptin
Labs vit D dep rickets
Low PO4, Ca, vit D
High alk phos, PTH
4 physes that are intra-articular (septic arthritis risk w/ osteo)
Where do hematogenous infections spread to bone?
- Prox hum (shoulder)
- Prox rad (elbow)
- Prox fem (hip)
- Distal fibula (ankle)
Metaphysis
How does peds backboard differ from adult?
Halo?
Hole cut out for head
Bigger heads - if flat, will flex the spine
Halo: 6-8pins, 2-4in-lbs torque
SH classification
Which part of physis is injured
SALTR
1 - Straight through
2 - exists Above (metaph)
3 - beLow (epiph)
4 - through (metaph + epiph)
5 - cRushed
ZPCa within zone of hypertrophy
Indications for bar resection for physeal arrest
> 2cm growth remaining (aka more than acceptable LLD)
<50% physis involved
Otherwise, guided growth
RF birth plexus palsy
Large baby
Shoulder dystocia
Prolonged delivery (need for induction) / assisted delivery
Supracondylar humerus frx
1. Nerve injury
2. Malunion
3. What is a risk factor for higher rates of nerve injury + compartment syndrome
- AIN > radial
Ulnar = flexion type - Varus + extension
- Ipsi forearm/distal rad frx
Lateral condyle fractures
1. Best XR
2. Classification
3. Malunion
4. Where is the BS
- IR oblique
- Milch - does extend into trochlea or no
- Valgus -> tardy ulnar nerve palsy
- BS posterior, beware for AVN risk
What other injury should you look for with medial epicondyle frx
Elbow dislocation
Transphyseal distal humerus frx
1. Rule out what?
2. Salter Harris most commonly associated
3. Malunion
Not an elbow dislocation don’t confuse
1. Child abuse!
2. SH 1 vs 2 (displaced vs not)
3. Varus (2/2 med cond AVN)
