Characteristics of pain of bursitis
shar, swelling, erythema, pain with active but not passive motion
Knee pain associated with repetitive kneeling
prepatellar bursitis
patella fracture
welling, tenderness, inability to extend knee; caused by sudden forse like falling from a height
Patellar tendinitis
episodic pain and tenderness at the inferior patella and patellar tendon; seein athletes in jumping sports
Patellofemoral pain syndrome

Tx of supracondylar fracture
analgesia and immobilization
terminal hematuria
suggests bleeding form the prostate, bladder or posterior urethra
initial step in workup for bladder cnacer
cystoscpy
men with pelvic fractures are at significant risk for
posterior urethral injury
First step in patients with suspected urethral injury
retrograde urethrogram
Men with straddle injury are at risk for
anterior urethral injury
Signs of pelvic fracture, gross hematuria, possibly voiding difficulty; next step
retrograde cystogram to assess for bladder rupture
Diffuse axonal injury
traumatic acceleration/deceleration -> diffuse damage of axons presenting in coma with CT findings of small bleeds in the grey-white matter jct
uncal hernia
ipsilateral hemiparesis; compression of ipsilateral oculomotor nerve (mydraiasis, ptosis and down and out gaze; compresion of ipsilateral posterior cerebral artery (contra homonymous hemianopsia) altered level of consciousness and coma
Cushings triad

MRI looking for meniscal tear
short vs long term tx meniscal tear
short term NSAIDS and rest; if >3-4 weeks surgical intervention

rotator cuff impingement or tendiopathy
pain with abduction; weakness external rotation age >40
rotator cuff tear
anterior shoulder pain; pain with lifting, carrying or overhead reaching, weakness less common
