Q

acute injuries of the bone

A
  1. fracture (also in growth plates)
  2. 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

Q

overuse injury of bone

how can u diagnose

symptoms

A
  1. stress reaction
  2. 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

Q

bone stress injury prognosis

A

dependent on bone size

Low risk BSIs

stress reactions take 1/3 of the recovery time
-2 weeks
-3 weeks
-4 weeks

sensitivity

A

% of people who test positive within a sample having the
disease/condition

rule in

26
Q

specificity

A

% of people who test negative within a sample who don’t have the
disease/condition

rule out

27
Q

when do you refer out for an image

A

-diagnosis uncertain
-extent of injury affects treatment
-red flags present
-objective documentation required
-pre operative planning

28
Q

normal physiological changes that occur with exercise

A
  1. tendons show increase in vascularity on power doppler after exercise
  2. bones show transient asymptomatic marrow oedema in response to altered weightbearing
  3. muscles demonstrate 10-15% increase in volume, vascularity and diffuse increase in MRI signal after exercise
  4. asymptomatic joints and bursa show efusion on MRI and US
29
Q

pods can refer for what imaging

A

-X RAY of foot, leg, knee and femur
-US soft tissue of foot

others can be ordered but expensive and not covered by medicare

30

X ray

then:
MRI
CT
Bone scan

A

US
xray if avulsion fracture suspected

compartment pressure testing what does it involve, how long, what happens if positive

A

pt needs to exercise until symptoms come on

a pressure manometer needle is inserted into the muscle

takes approx 1 hour
