Unit 4 Clinical Aspects Flashcards
Developmental Dyspasia
- Congenital dislocation of the hip
- More common in females
- Results in Ligamentous Laxity and Femoral Anteversion/twisting of the femur
Prepatellar Bursitis
AKA: Housemaid’s Knee
Caused by friction between the skin and the patella
Suprapatellar Bursitis
Causes by bacteria from an abrasion or a pentrating wound
Subcutaneous Bursitis
Caused by excessive friction between the skin and the tibial tuburcle
Acquired/Traumatic Dislocation
- Posterior is most common
- Anterior is rare
- Anterior dislocation affects the Obturator nerve.
- Posterior dislocation affects the Sciatic nerve
What nerve is affect with a posterior acquired/traumatic hip dislocation?
Sciatic Nerve
What nerve is affect with a anterior acquired/traumatic hip dislocation?
Obturator Nerve
What ligaments are affected in an “Unhappy Triad?”
- Medial Collateral Ligament
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament
- Medial Meniscus
What the most commonly injured ligament of the knee joint?
The Medial Collateral ligament
If large parts of the medial meniscus and even the menisci in general are removed, what clinical condition can be caused?
Hint: forces will be transmitted to the condyles of the tibia, possibly damaging the articular cartilage.
Osteoarthritis
An injury that produces a condition in which the tibia can be pulled excessively forward under the femur is referred to as what?
Positive Anterior Drawer Test
An injury that produces a condition in which the tibia can be pulled/moved excessively backward under the femur is referred to as what?
Positive Posterior Drawer Test
What the heck is Osgood-Schlatter’s Disease?
An avulsion injury of the secondary center of ossification of the tibial tuberosity.
Also known as an “Apophyseal Injury” or a “Traction Injury”
How many centers of ossification does the Tibia have?
4
An Os Trigonum occurs when a secondary ossification center develops where?
The lateral tubercle
What is it called when the lateral tubercle of the talus fails to unite with the body of the talus and ossifies independently?
Os Trigonum
Where does a fracture of the talus usually occur, and during what movement?
At the neck during sever dorsal flexion of the ankle
Fractures of the calcaneus may disrupt which joint?
The Subtalar Joint
Where are stress fractures commonly found?
- Shaft of the Tibia
- 2, 3, 4 Metatarsals
- Navicular Bone
What can cause a pathological stress fracture?
- Drugs
- Osteoporosis
- Metabolic Disorder
Is trauma (burns, fractures, ER visit stuff) more likely to cause acute or chronic compartement syndrome?
Acute Compartement Syndrome
What causes Chronic Compartment Syndrome?
Exercise
Which compartments of the leg are most frequently affected from cronic compartment syndrome?
Anterior and Deep Posterior
A patient presents with aching, squeezing, or sharp pain in the anterior part of the leg, but says it goes away when they stop what they are doing. This is most likely what?
Chronic Compartment Syndrome (AKA: External Compartment Syndrome)
Pain along the tibia that usually involves the tibialis anterior is refered to as what?
Shin Splints or Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome
What term is used to describe compression neuropathy of the deep fibular nerve at the tibia?
Ski Boot Syndrome
Sensory loss of the deep fibular nerve will cause loss of sensation in which part of the foot? Be specific.
The web space between digits 1 & 2
Motor loss of the deep fibular nerve will cause what?
- Loss of dorsal flexion of the foot
- Loss of toe extension
- Diminished INversion of the foot
An ankle spain can cause a traction injury of which nerve?
Superficial Fibular Nerve
