What might subdural or retinal hemorrhaging suggest in a child? | possible abuse from shaking |
What fractures indicate possible abuse? (5) | posterior rib, scapula, posterior process of spine, sternum, corner fractures of long bone metaphysis |
Pt (child) presents w/ posterior heel pain and a limp. Pain inc w/ activity. | clacanel apophysitis aka Sever's dz |
what age/gender is assoc w/ sever's dz | male 8-11 y/o |
tx for calcaneal apophysitis (sever's dz) | activity restriction, heel lift, achilles tendon stretching, casting 4-6 wks, NO SURGERY OR INJECTION |
associated w/ ligamentous laxity in hip and detectable at birth. assymptomatic in neonates and sometimes picked up when child starts to walk. | Developmental dysplasia of the hip |
Dx Develop. Dysplasia of the hip | PE. Barlow test. Ortolani maneuver for relocatability. hip limiter abduction. US. Geleazzi sign for leg length |
What are the adverse outcomes of Dev. Dysplasia of the hip | longer the hip is dislocated the harder to reduce AND possible early DJD |
Tx Develop. dysplasia of the hip | <3 mos - PAVLIK HARNESS3-9 mos try harnesslater - closed or open reduction |
congenital deformity, autosomal dominant, mild scoliosis, moderate limb deformity, mild limb shortening. BLUE SCLERAE | osteogenesis imperfecta |
adverse outcomes of growth plate damage? | limb length discrepancy or angulation |
congenital dislocaton of the radial head | subluxation of radial head |
what is the most common childhood dislocation? | elbow dislocation |
Are most elbow dislocations anterior or posterior? | 80% posterior |
tibia becomes laterally deviated from midline as it progresses distally | Valgum |
"knock knees" | valgum |
"bow legged" | varus |
how do you dx valgum | measure height and plot on nomogram; measure tibiofemoral angle or intermalleolar dist |
tx for valgum | None: usually corrects itself |
deformity w/ tibia medially deviated more as it progresses distally | genu varum |
tx varum | ITV-bracing; tibial osteotomy 30-60 mos |
what can cause mild intoeing? | mild CP |
after what age is an osteotomy used to treat in toeing/out toeing | 7-8 yrs |
What age should is in/out toeing considered severe at? | severe beyond age 4 and watch until age 8 |
what age is metatarsus adductus severe beyond | 6 mos |
idiopathic osteonecrosis of femoral head in children 2-12 y/o | legg-calve-perthes dz |
is legg-calve-perthes dz more common in males or females | males 4:1 |
what leads to a worse prognosis for legg-calve-perthes dz | advanced age and involvement; also bone death w/ collapse may lead to deformity and DJD |
pt presents w/ limping x 3-6 weeks, pain increasing w/ activity and aching in groin or thigh | legg-calve-perthes dz |
dx legg-calve-perthes dz | limited abduciton; AP and frog-lateral views of hips; inc density of FH, CRESCENT SIGN of shear fracture in subchondral bone; poss MRI |
CRESENT SIGN on and xray indicates... | legg-calve-perthes dz |
tx legg-calve-perthes dz | observation for children w/mild involvement:bracing in abduction (marginally effective), bed rest and traction, osteotomy for older pts |
displacement of femoral head through an immature physis typically during adolescent growth spurt | slipped capital femaoral epiphysis |
what directions does SCFE usually slip | posterior and medial |
what factore predispose SCFE | obesity, male, sports activities |
What age range for female and males w/ SCFE | F: 12y/o M: 13y/o |
pt w/ proximal anterior thigh or groin pian possibly radiating to distal thigh. pain inc w/ activity. loss of hip internal rotation w/flexion. abduction and extension dec. shortening of affected extremity | SCFE |
Dx SCFE | AP and frog-lateral pelvic films |
"ice cream slipping off ice cream cone" | SCFE |
Adverse outcomes of SCFE | progressive arthritis, chondrolysis, osteonecrosis, DJD |
tx SCFE | in situ stabilization, reduction and emergent stabilization, realignment osteotomy, PINNING IN SITU IS STANDARD OF CARE |
After what age do you worry about toe walking? | 18 mos |
antibiotic used to treat animal bites | Augmentin |
organism involved in cat/dog bites | pasturella multocida |
when do you close a cat bite? | NEVER!!!! |
swelling or stenosis of the tendon sheath, pain swelling, triggering at base of thumb. Swelling and tenderness over first dorsal compartment | DeQuervain's tenosynovitis |
+ finkelstein test | DeQuervain's tenosynovitis |
tx DeQuervain's tenosynovitis | thumb spica splint, NSAID, injection surgery |
nodular thickening and contracture of the palmar fascia. usually men >50 | Dupuytren contracture |
