Pestana2 Ortho (General) Flashcards
Malignant bone tumors in adults what kind?
Metastatic
Origins of metastatic bone tumors in adults (by gender)
- Women (breast; lytic lesions)
- Men (prostate: blastic lesions)
Malignant bone tumors in adults (dx)
XRAY < CT < MRI
Early symptom in adult bone tumors
Localized pain
Multiple myeloma (demographic)
Old men
Multiple myeloma (sxs 3)
- Fatigue
- Anemia
- Localized pain
Multiple myeloma (dx 3)
- XRAY: multiple punched-out lytic lesions
- Urine: Bence-Jones proteins
- Serum immunoelectrophoresis: abnl Ig
Multiple myeloma (tx)
- Chemotherapy
- Thalidomide if chemo fails
Soft tissue sarcoma (dx 3)
- Firm, fixed to surrounding tissue
- MRI
- Incisional biopsy
Soft tissue sarcoma (mets)
Lungs
Soft tissue sarcoma (tx 3)
- Wide local excision
- Chemo
- Rad
XRAY views in suspected fx
- AP and lateral
- Joints above and below fx
Closed reduction (def, guidelines 2)
- Immobilization in cast or splint
- Not badly displaced/angulated
- Can be aligned by external manipulation
Clavicular fx (location)
Junction of middle and distal third
Clavicular fx (tx)
Arm in sling
MC shoulder dislocation
Anterior
Anterior shoulder dislocation (sxs 2, dx)
- Close to body w/ external rotation
- Possible numbness over deltoid (stretched axillary)
- AP+Lateral xrays
Posterior shoulder dislocations (causes 2)
Massive uncoordinated muscle ctx:
- Epileptic seizure
- Electrical burn
Posterior shoulder dislocations (sx, dx)
- Close to body w/ internal rotation
- Axillary view or scapular lateral view xrays
Colles fx (dem, injury)
Old osteoporotic woman falls on outstretched hand
Colles fx (lesion)
- “Dinner fork”
- Dorsally displaced, dorsally angulated fx of distal radius
Colles fx (tx)
Closed reduction w/ long arm cast
Monteggia fx (injury)
-Direct blow to ulna (“nightstick” injury)
Monteggia fx (lesion)
-Fx of proximal ulna w/ resultant anterior dislocation of radial head
Galeazzi fx (lesion)
-Fx of distal radius w/ resultant dorsal dislocation of distal radioulnar joint
Monteggia and Galeazzi fx’s (tx)
- Fx: ORIF
- Dislocation: closed reduction
Fx of scaphoid (dem, injury)
Young adult falls on outstretched hand
Scaphoid fx (sxs 2)
- Wrist pain
- TTP over anatomical snuffbox
Scaphoid fx (dx)
- H&P
- XRAY shows fx 3wks later
Scaphoid fx (mgmt)
- Thumb spica cast
- If displacement/angulation on original xray, then ORIF
Scaphoid fx (complication)
Nonunion
Metacarpal neck fx (digit#)
4th/5th
Metacarpal neck fx (injury)
Closed fist hits a hard surface
Metacarpal neck fx (dx)
XRAYs
Metacarpal neck fx (mgmt)
Depends on severity
- Mild: CR and ulnar gutter splint
- Severe: Kirschner wire or plate fixation
Hip fx (dem, injury)
Old who sustain a fall
Hip fx (presentation 2)
- Hip pain
- Affected leg is shorter and externally rotated
Femoral neck fx (complication)
AVN
Intertrochanteric fx (post-op complication)
DVT/PE 2/2 immobilization
Intertrochanteric fx (mgmt)
- OR and pins
- Post-op anticoagulation
Femoral shaft fx (complications)
- B/L and comminuted: shock
- Mulptiple: fat embolism syndrome
Femoral shaft fx (mgmt)
-Intramedullary rod fixation
When is a femoral shaft fx an emergency and what is the tx?
- Open fx
- OR cleaning and closure w/in 6hrs
A highly sensitive sign of knee injury
Swelling
Collateral ligament injuries (force)
- Medial blows: lateral ligaments
- Lateral blows: medial ligaments
Tests in collateral ligament injuries (x2)
Knee flexed at 30* (passive manipulation: pain and further displacement)
- Valgus stress test: abduction: medial injury
- Varus stress test: adduction: lateral injury
