wk 2- multi discinplinary team and reflags Flashcards
red flags
- 50+ years
- injury appears disproportionate to mechanism
- systemic symptoms (fever, chills, sick, weight loss)
- atypical symptoms
- medical risk factors (osteoporosis, immune deficiency, diabetes, etc)
- symptoms worse at night
- significant morning stiffness
- complex past medical history
- family history of inflammatory joint disease (gout, RA, OA, PsA, ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, scleroderma, lupus)
- multiple body systems involved (endocrine, derm, neuro, urinary)
- poor response to conservative treatment
red signs of serious pathology examples
- cauda equina syndrome
- fracture
- tumour
- unremitting night pain
- sudden weight loss (10 pounds over 3 months)
- bladder/bowl incontinence
- history of cancer
- saddle anaesthesia
orange flags examples
personality disorder
clinical depression
(psychiatric behaviours)
yellow flags examples
(emotional responses/ pain behaviour/ coping mechanisms/ beliefs)
poor outlook on treatment
distress
avoiding activities out of fear
blue flags
(perceptions about work and health)
work will cause further injury
unsupported at workplace
black flags
(system obstacles)
legislation restricting return to work
conflict with insurance
heavy work
acute injuries of the bone
- fracture (also in growth plates)
- periosteal contusion: dense fibrous tissue surrounding bone that is vascular and innervated. Direct blow can lead to subperiosteal haematoma which is painful and palpable lump
chronic injuries of bone
- overuse (stress fracture/reaction)
2.osteitis/periositis (shin splints) - apophysitis
- enthesopathy
- osteophyte/bone spur
overuse injury of bone
how can u diagnose
symptoms
- stress reaction
- stress fracture
fatigue fractures caused by repetitive mechanical loading without sufficient rest (overuse)
imbalance between bone strain (microdamage) and bone repair leading to weakness in the bone
can be diagnosed and graded using MRI
localised pain and tenderness
low risk bone stress injuries
- posteriormedial tibia
-fibula/ lateral mall - femoral shaft
- pelvis
- calcaneus
- 2-4th mets
high risk bone stress injuries
- femoral neck
-anterior cortex of tibia - medial mall
- talus (lateral process)
- navicular
- proximal diaphysis of 5th
- base of 2nd
- sesamoids
bone stress injury prognosis
dependent on bone size
Low risk BSIs
- mets 4-6weeks
- tibia/calc 6- 8weeks
- femur 10-12 weeks
stress reactions take 1/3 of the recovery time
-2 weeks
-3 weeks
-4 weeks
rehab for low risk BSI
rest and cross training to maintain condition, avoid atrophy and accelerate return to sport
rehab for high risk BSI
non weight bearing cast immobilisation for 6-8 weeks or surgery
unless
sesamoids (4 weeks)
met 2nd base (2 weeks)
femoral neck (1 week bed rest)
acute injuries of jointS
- Dislocation
- sublaxation
chronic injuries of joints
Hyaline cartilage
1. osteochondral defect
2. chondropathy/chondromalacia
3. OA
fibrocartilage
1. mensical tear
2. labral tear
3. disc herniation
capsule
1. synovitis
2. gout
3. RA etc
- impingement
