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 |
