Maisonnuerve fracture cause, exam
cause: tearing of interosseous and fx of prox fibula: ER force
palpate prox fibula!
tillaux fracture (SH type) cause and imaging
type: SH 3 of anterior lateral tibial epiphysis (avulsion)
cause: avulsion of ATFL from ER injury
x-ray then CT if needed
jones fracture
cause, exam and treatment and imaging
cause: forefoot adduction with PF, fx at base 5th metatarsal
exam: swelling and pain over the 5th met
imaging: ant/post/lat and mortise view, or oblique view
treatment: non op 6-8 weeks cast, crutches and immob, WB as pain subsides
jones fractures are at risk of what
mal/non union
lisfranc fracture cause, exam, imaging
TMT fx/dislocation with dorsal displacement of the proximal end of metatarsals
cause: crush to midfoot, sudden rotation force with PF foot
exam: alignment, medial plantar bruising, swelling/tenderness at dorsum of foot
imaging: MRI (missed on x-ray)
fracture of the talar dome cause, exam and treatment
cause: severe INV/DF or INV with PF force
exam: pain with WB, catching, swelling after activity
treatment: NWB, immob, conservative fails, surgery
severs disease cause, exam and treatment
calcaneal apophysitis
cause: 8-14y/o, traction injury
exam: pain at posterior heel below Achilles, swelling at calcaneus
treatment: RTS 2-8 weeks
what is the most common MT to stress fracture
2nd (AKA MARCH FX)
cause, exam, imaging and treatment of metatarsal stress fracture
cause: change in training, milage, surface, forefoot varus, hallux valgus, flat foot
exam: dull pain with gradual onset progressing to pain at rest. Diffuse at first then localizes
imaging: bone scan
treatment: rest, boot, restricted WB, orthotics
