Pediatric fractures

remodelling potential is high abut growth plate cna cause permanent growth arrest




non-accidental trauma

Salter Harris fracture

distal femur physis fracture

Classification of the Salter Harris Growth plate injury

1: transverse through the zone of calcification and doesnt result in permanent damage usually




2: through the hypertrophic zone and the metaphysis




3: through the hypertrophic zone and the epiphysis




4: thtough the resting reserve zone and metaphysis and epiphysis




5: crush injury will cause permanent growth arrest

Scoliosis

lateral curvature of the spine of more than 10 degrees




when performing the Adams bend test the spine will rotate and cause teh ribs to be prominantly seen

Congenital scoliosis

fusion of some of the verterbrae or misshapen




just because you are born with a defect doesnt mean you have a congential defect




neuromuscular as an etiology in spina bifida and DMD and CP

idiopathic breakdown

criteria based on age and location




early onset vs late onset cut off is 5-6




based on the time when alveoli are fully developed




mideline skin defect may be indicative of an ectoderm folding disorder

Sprengels deformity

maldevelopment of the scapula resulting in it being located in the neck and possibly attached to the cervical spine

Cobb angle

meaures the two post angled portions then draw perpendiculars and determine the angle

Bracing

only during growth




if you have a much more curve you are much more likely to progress yo more curve

DDH develop. dysplasi of the hip

spectrum of instability of the hip




shallow or steep roof to the acetabulum which prevents the hip from remaining in socket

DDH

leads to early arthritis




usually have normal gaits untill later in childhood

Risk factors for DDH

breech presentation at birth




female sex (baby is responding to the same hormones that relax the mother)




tight womb




ligamentous laxity









DDH etiology

oligohydramnios = tight womb




first born




packaging problems, such as metatarusus adducutus and torticollis (twisted neck)





DDH Dx

need to dx early for proper treatment




if at walking age will need surgery




not painful




short leg and limp toe walking

Ortolani maneuvur

reduces a dislocated and looks for the thunk

Barlow

adduct and dislocate the hip posteriorly

In older babies

no clunking in the barlow maneuveur but you will see reduced abduction and asymmetric thigh folds

Galeazzi sign

apparent leg length inequality due to hip being out of the socket

Waddling gati

trednelenberg sign

Closed reduction

if the pavlik does not work the child will have a mild surgery and reduce it with a cast then

Open reduction

for older ages

Slipped capp femoral epiphysis

usually male and heavier

etiology

thickened hypertrophic zone and will have knee pain with walking that is impaired

Legg Calve Perthes Disease

idiopathic avascular necrosis




final pathway is vascula insult to immature femoral head




causes arthritis

Etiology

bone dies and can be mishapen, the blood supply will come back but a permanent deformity can cause log term damage

Rotational abnormalities

crooked legs




in toeing and out toeing




not a function problem
