onycholysis
Sarcoidosis: ____% have cutaneous involvement
40
____ lupus is associated with scarring
discoid (chronic cutaneous type)
Chronic skin condition of sores with inflammation and scarring favoring the face, ears, and scalp and at times on other body areas. These lesions develop as a red, inflamed patch with a scaling and crusty appearance. The center areas may appear lighter in color with a rim darker than the normal skin.
Discoid lupus erythematosus
T/F Discoid lupus erythematosus can be divided into localized, generalized and childhood discoid lupus erythematosus

Necrobiosis Lipoidica: associated with what disease?
DM
Acanthosis nigricans: associated with what disease?
Insulin resistance (DM and PCOS)
Erythema nodosum: associated with what disease?
sarcoidosis
inflammation of the fat cells under the skin (panniculitis)[1] characterized by tender red nodules or lumps that are usually seen on both shins.
Erythema nodosum
Tuberous sclerosis: typical lesion
ash leaf depigmentation
Most common type of drug rash/eruption

Highly specific findings for child abuse
1) Femur fracture in child <1 yo (non-ambulatory)

2) Humeral shaft fracture in less than 3 yo

3) Sternal fractures

4) Metaphyseal corner fractures

5) Posterior rib fractures

6) Digit fractures in nonambulatory children
Workup for suspected child abuse
1) Skeletal survey xray series

2) CPS involvement

3) Head CT

4) Ophtho consult
In-toeing: 3 causes
1) Metatarsal adductus
2) Tibial torsion (most common)
3) Femoral anteversion
Metatarsal adductus: tx
85% resolve spontaneously.

For the 15%:
Stretching/
observation
casts
reverse last shoes
surgery last resort
tibial torsion: tx
Improves with growth, usually by 5 years old.

Surgery rarely needed. Bracing is ineffective.
femoral anteversion: tx
Usually corrects by 8-10.

Bracing ineffective.

Femoral osteotomies if severe.
Physiologic Bowing: cause
many babies born bowlegged from intrauterine positioning. When limbs form they're slightly inwardly rotated.
Physiologic Bowing: when does it resolve?
When child starts walking, usually by 2 years old.
Blount's disease: defn
growth disorder of the shin bone (tibia) in which the lower leg turns inward, resembling a bowleg. Symptoms: One or both of the lower legs turn inward. This is called "bowing."
Blount's disease: treatment
1) Brace if still worsening at age 2.
2) Surgery if >3.5 years old.
3) MUST be fixed by age 4.
Blount's disease: main concerns
Must be fixed by age 4 or else it can affect the growth plates, shutting down bone growth.
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH): defn
abnormal development or dislocation of hip
Can be associated with metatarsus adductus and torticollis
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH): signs and symptoms
Asymmetric gluteal folds

Decreased or asymmetric abduction of flexed hips.

Ortolani and Barlow - positive tests

Trendelenburg stance in older kids.
Ortolani test: defn
Elevation and ABduction of femur relocates a dislocated hip
Barlow test: defn
Depression and ADduction dislocates a dislocatable hip
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH): dx
ULTRASOUND in <3 months old - bones aren't sufficiently calcified until around 3 months of age.
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH): tx
Pavlik harness for at least 6 weeks, continuously.
Pavlik harness: what does it treat?
Harness that Most important that makes sure hips are flexed 90-110 degrees and not held in maximal abduction
Galeazzi sign: defn
Short femur on affected side
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE): defn and pathophys
fracture through the physis (the growth plate) due to weakness of the hypertrophic zone. Results in slippage of the overlying epiphysis.

Adolescent obese black males
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE): symptoms
Limp, external rotation gait, hip or thigh pain OR (referred) knee pain
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE): most feared complication
Avascular necrosis of femoral head - child will need total hip replacement.
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE): PE findings
Decreased internal rotation and pain.

May have obligate external rotation as hip is flexed along with overall decreased flexion.
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE): stable vs unstable
Stable: weight bearing is possible, but need to be treated quickly to avoid becoming unstable.

Unstable - severe pain prevents weight-bearing. 50% risk of AVN.
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE): treatment
Put pins in it just the way it is - no reduction (reduction increases risk of AVN).
T/F Stable slips must be treated relatively quickly to avoid it becoming an unstable SCFE and increasing the chance of AVN.
