occurs when the motion of the tendon that opens and closes the finger is limited, causing the finger to lock or catch | trigger finger |

Loss of central slip insertion on proximal dorsal middle phalanx. Flexion fo PIP and hyperextension of DIP. | boutonnieres deformity |
Seen on oblique view, a defect in the pars interarticularis puts a collar on the scotty dog. | spondylolysis |
MVA injury where the lap belt immobilizes pelvis and the thorax is forcefully flexed forward. seen on AP as a crack throught the owl's eyes (pedicles), or an open beak (cracked spinous process) | Chance fracture |
Collapse of anterior vertebral body with intact posterior wall from hyperflexion or osteoporosis | wedge fracture |
vertebral slipping | spondylolisthesis |
lateral curvature of the spine | scoliosis |
classification system used for grading hip fractures | Garden type |
90% of hip fractures are in this direction | posterior |
Occurs at the origin og the sartorius, and is caused by knee flexion and hip hyper-extension. | ASIS avulsion fracture |
Occurs at the origin of the hamstring, and is caused by vigorous hip flexion with knee extension. | Ischial tuberosity avulsion fracture |
Occurs in obese adolescent boys. Will cause a limp and hip, thigh or knee pain, loss of IR, flexion and abduction | Slipped capital femoral epiphysis |

indications for getting imaging after ankle injury | Ottawa rules |
85% of all ankle sprains are in this direction, and are from a plantar flexion inversion injury. | Lateral |
Fracture of proximal 5th metatarsal, from an inversion injury | Jones fracture |
most common fracture of the ankle | distal fibula fracture |
