Ottowa Ankle Criteria
Radiographs of the ankle are indicated for individuals
1. Unable to bear weight on the affected ankle
2. Tenderness involving the tip or posterior aspect of the ankle malleoli
Ankle sprains should be treated with _______, if tolerated
early mobilization
Pain associated with spondylolysis, what causes it, and how to evaluate
- pain with EXTENSION of lumbar spine and some local radiation
- caused by repeated sports injury,
- evaluate by radiology (only 50-60% sensitive), can also evaluate by MRI
Greenstick Fracture
- mechanism of fall
outstretched hand
long bone break
Physeal fractures are called
Salter-Harris fractures
Define:
Salter-Harris type I
Salter-Harris type II
Salter-Harris type III
Salter-Harris type IV
I: bony injury across physis (none to metaphyseal or peiphyseal)
II:
III:
IV: cross 3 regions of bone (epiphysis, physis, mataphysis)
Pain with ambulation in a multisport athlete, better with resting, comes right back with exercise. Dx?
Femoral neck stress fracture
Evaluation of and Management of femoral neck stress fracture
Passive leg roll with reproduction of joint pain
MRI
crutches (fully non-weight bearing)
Screw-fixation
Management of femoral anteversion “knock-knees”
reassurance if asymptomatic
Close re-evaluation if intermalleolar distance is 7 cm or more
If knee pain, hip pain, or restricted hip ROM, hip XR
Management of in-toeing
If before 6-8 yo, reassurance
Cause of in-toeing
<3 yo
>3 yo
<3 yo: internal tibial torsion
>3 yo: femoral anteversion
