wk 7- radiology paeds Flashcards
important to note about the first proximal phalanx
the ossification centre is divided into two and can be misinterpreted as a fracture on radiographs
os subfibulare
below the lateral mall
os trigonum
posterior aspect of talus
accessory navicular or os tibiale externum
dorsomedial aspect of navicular and lies within tibial tendon
affects 10-15% of children- most common accessory ossicle
types of accessory navicular
type 1- 30%
5mm proximal to navicular tuberosity and 2-4mm in diameter
type 2- 50-60%
attached to navicular tuberosity by fibrocartilage synchondrosis (around 11mm diameter, triangle or heart shaped)
type 3- 10%
prominent navicular tuberosity- fused type 2
can be associated with PT dysfunction
os peroneum
in tendon of peroneus longus and seen in the oblique view of the foot
associated with osseous frcition to cuboid and peroneus longus dysfunction
what is clubfoot deformity
3 dimension deformity
rearfoot equinas- lateral talocalcaneal angle <35deg
rearfoot varus - talocalcaneal angle <20deg
forefoot metatarsal adductus- talus to first met angle is >15deg
also known as talipes equinovarus
whats the difference between metatarsus adductus and clubfot
MA- the talus and calc are normal but there is medial deviation of forefoot
whats the difference between skew foot and club foot
skew- ADDuction of forefoot, abduction of midfoot, valgus rearfoot
how is coalitions best viewed on radiograph
45deg oblique view
what findings would you have on a radiograph of canceonavicular coalition
osseous bar
eburnation or sclerosis
elongation of anterior calc process
what is the most common coalition
calcaneonaviuclar
what coalition has worse symptomology
talocalcaneal
what is talocalcaneal coalition
bar of fibrous, cartilage or osseous tissue between the middle facet of the calc and talus
radiographic findings of talocalcaneal coalition
-failure to visualise STJ
-talar beaking
-narrowing of posterior STJ
-concave undersurface of talar neck
-C sign, continuous c shaped arc on lateral ankle graph (however note that this can be seen in flat foot deformity with no coalition)
juvenille hallux valgus what measurements are used to assess
3 measurements
1st met angle <20->40 (mild-sev)
line down 1st met and great toe
1-2 intermet angle <11 - >15 (mild-sev)
line down 1st met and 2nd met
seasamoid position/migration 50%0>75% (mild-sev)
across 1st met
what do osteochondroses affect
epiphysis- end portion of long bone contributing to the joint
and
apophysis- part of the epiphysis and is the site of tendon or ligament attachment
do osteochondroses include apophysitis/apophysitides
yes
