Q

Midshaft Humerus Fracture MOI

A

there is a direct blow to humerus
or a bending force applied to the humerus

falling on an out starched hand can also cause this type of fracture

22
Q

is a pediatric patient presents with Midshaft Humerus Fracture suspect what?

A

child abuse

23
Q

Midshaft Humerus Fracture clinical presentation

A

swelling, ecchymosis

viable shortening may be present

24
Q

radial nerve neurological screen sensory

A

dorsum of hand

25
Q

radial nerve neurological screen motor

A

wrist dorsiflex

26
Q

medial nerve neurological screen sensory

A

palmar aspect of thumb

index finer middle fingers

27
Q

ulnar nerve neurological screen sensory

A

palmar aspect of pinkie

28
Q

ulnar nerve neurological screen motor

A

dinger abduction

29
Q

medial nerve neurological screen motor

A

thumb opposition

30
Q

Midshaft Humerus Fracture vascular screen

A

distal pulses radial and ulnar

cap refill

31
Q

the majority of the time Midshaft Humerus Fracture is managed how?

A

non surgical with a functional humerus brace

32
Q

Early shoulder range of motion in mid shaft humerus should be done to

A

reduce the risk of adhesive capsulitis

33
Q

what is and adhesive capsulitis also known as

A

frozen shoulder

34
Q

when are surgical interventions used for a mid shaft humerus fracture?

A 
Neurovascular injury
Open Fx
Pathologic Fx
> 3 cm shortening
> 30° angulation
35
Q

Pediatric ossification centers (CRITOE)

A 
Capitellum 
Radial head
Internal (medial) epicondyle
Trochlea
Olecranon
External (lateral) epicondyle
36
Q

Supracondylar Fracture most common MOI

A

hyperextension injury associated with falling on outstretched hands, resulting in a extension Supracondylar Fracture

37
Q

other Supracondylar Fracture MOI

A

a direct blow that will cause a extension or flexion type Supracondylar Fracture

38
Q

Supracondylar Fractures are seen more commonly in which patient population

A

pediatrics

39
Q

Supracondylar Fracture clinical presentation

A

possible palatable displaced fragment
swelling ecchymosis
Potential for neurovascular injury
Forearm compartment syndrome

40
Q

Forearm compartment syndrome results in what and presents as what

A

Volkmann’s ischemia / contracture
Marked swelling of the forearm
Palpable tenseness
Pain with passive extension of the finger

41
Q

Supracondylar Fracture can mimic which dislocation

A

posterior elbow dislocation

42
Q

when do we use a non surgical approach to Supracondylar

A

type I and type II with reduction

43
Q

when do we use a surgical approach to Supracondylar

A

theres a neuromuscular injury
open fracture
type III

44
Q

Radial Head fracture Most common MOI

A

FOOSH w/ partially flexed elbow

45
Q

Radial Head fracture additional MOI

A

Posterior elbow dislocation

46
Q

Radial Head fracture clinical presentation

A

swelling over lateral elbow

limited ROM

47
Q

which ROMs are especially difficult for patients with Radial Head fracture

A

Extension, supination

48
Q

which type of x ray should you get for a suspected Radial Head Fracture
and what sign are you looking for

A

AP, lateral views AND oblique view
look for fat pad sign

*Type I Fx may be occult on initial x-rays

49
Q

Radial Head Fracture type I Non surgical

A

Splint or sling for 5-7 days
allow patients to use the sling for comfort after this time period
Early ROM

50
Q

Radial Head Fracture type II Non surgical – Minimal displacement

A

Minimal displacement
Splint for 10-14 days
allow patients to use the sling for comfort after this time period
Aggressive ROM after splint removal

51
Q

Radial Head Fracture type II Moderate displacement management

A

open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF)– surgical intervention

52
Q

Radial Head Fracture type III management
