25
Q

What is Blounts disease and how do you treat it?

A

Avascular necrosis (osteonecrosis) of the medial tibial epiphysis.

Seen in adolescent obese African-American, like SCFE. You’ll see genu varus (bowleg)

You can try weight loss and bracing is usually effective in the infantile form, but they may need surgery – osteotomy

26
Q

Where does the posterior tibialis muscle tendon insert?

A

Navicular bone

27
Q

What is severs disease and how do you treat it?

A

Apophysitis of the insertion of the Achilles tendon.

Kiesselbachs plexus

29
Q

What is the estimated minimum systolic blood pressure with a palpable radial pulse?

A

Long arm cast for six weeks

31
Q

Where is Voshell’s bursa and how is a bursitis at this region treated?

A

It’s a bursa in between the medial collateral ligament and the tibia. It can be treated with rest anti-inflammatory medications and cross training.

It can present with knee swelling.

32
Q

Which two areas of bursitis need to be drained for possible risk of infection?

A

The olecranon and prepatellar bursa

33
Q

What is pes anserine bursitis associated with?

A

Pes planus

34
Q

What is a jersey finger and how does it present and how is it treated?

A

It’s an avulsion of the flexor digitorum profundas tendon and the athlete is unable to flex the DIP. It is treated operatively.

35

Q

Which temperature in Fahrenheit would have a wetbulb globe temperature that would warrant a black flag warning on race day?

A

> 82°F

37
Q

How long does it typically take to return from a calcaneal stress fracture?

A

4 to 6 weeks. Treatment includes activity modification including crutches with weight bearing as tolerated. Surgery is usually not required.

38
Q

What is the gold standard for diagnosis of stress fractures?

A

MRI

39
Q

What percentage of the glenoid surface would have to be affected by a fracture in order to recommend surgery?

A

Greater than 25%

40
Q

What is the recommended treatment for a tibial stress fracture?

A

Nonweightbearing for 6 to 8 weeks with physical examination and repeat imaging to follow progression of healing and surgical referral if healing not demonstrated.

41
Q

Using an MRI, what does a grade I stress fracture show?

A

Abnormal STIR

Remember: first has STIR in it

42
Q

Using an MRI, what does a grade II stress fracture show?

A

Abnormal T-2 signal

Remember: two equals two

43
Q

Using an MRI, what does a grade III stress fracture show?

A

Abnormal T-1 signal

44
Q

Using an MRI, what does a grade IV stress fracture show?

A

45
Q

What is the mechanism of high ankle sprains?

A

Forced foot dorsiflexion with abduction and external rotation of the foot

May be associated with a Maisonneuve fracture

Take 5 to 10 weeks to heal depending on severity. Treat with a walking boot for eight weeks. Focus on tibialis posterior strengthening for medial stability.

46
Q

What is considered a well-controlled seizure disorder?

A
