32 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back



wrist sprains

hyperextension


hyperflexion


ususally falling on hand


often dorsal pain


most common instability occurs between scaphoid and lunate


management: rule out fracture esp: scaphoid fracture


standard acute nsaids

finger sprains

hyperextension/varus/valgus


collaterals (moi: excessive valgus and varus stress)


volar plate (moi hyp ext)




thumb abduction or Game Keeper


ulnar collateral of thumb


moi: MP in ext and forceful abduction

subungal hematoma

drain, infection possible

paronycia

infection with ingrown nail

strains

tendons crossing joint (strong)


repetitve motion = overuse


eccentric loads

lunate disclocation

moi: axial loading displaces in volar direction


caution: compression of median nerve in carpal tunnel

distal radius/ulna with carpal or radial fracture

moi: hyperextension


hyperpronation - ulna dorsal dislocation


hypersupination - ulna volar dislocation

finger dislocation

moi = hyperextension and axial loading

handle bar palsy

ulanr (hamate, pisiform) nerve compression



cyclist's palsy

due to leaning on handlebar for extended period of time. leads to swelling in hypothenar area.


symptoms mimic ulnar nerve entrapment syndrome but disappears after ed of ride


key: poper padding, varying hand position



median nerve entrapment


carpal tunnel syndrome

median nerve passes through flexor digitorum and pronator teres (passes under transverse lig)


due to direct traume, repetitive overuse or anatomic anomalies


s+s: awakening in the middle of night- often relieved by shaking out their hands


pain, numbess, or tingling sensation only in finger tips on palmar aspect of thumb, index and middle finger


weak thumb abduction

ulnar nerve entrapment

ulnar tunnel syndrome


due to repetitive compressive trauma to the planar aspect of the hand


passes between hook of hamate and pisiform (tunnel of guyon)


s+s: numbness in the ulnar nerve distribution (Esp: little finger)


slight weakness in grip strength

radial nerve entrapment

distal posterior interosseous nerve syndrome


-due to compression associated with repetitive and forceful wrist dorsi flexion


s+s: deep, dull ache in wrist reproduced with wrist extension and deep palpation of forearm




superficial radial nerve entrapment


compressed at the wrist. aggravated by repeated pronation and supination


s+s: burning pain and sensory changes dorsoradial aspect of wrist, hand, dorsal thumb and index finger



colles'/smith's fracture

distal radius with displacement of distal fragment dorsally

Monteggia's

distal ulna with associated dislocation of radial head

Galeazzi's

distal radius with associated dislocation or subluxation of distal radioulnar joint

scaphoid fracture

s+s: (70% of carpal fractures)


history of falling on an outstretched hand


point tenderness anatomical snuffbox


pain with inward pressure along long axis


increase pain with wrist extension and radial deviation


peak incidence between 12-15 years old


concern: aseptic necrosis

lunate fracture

rare in sports


difficult because a large portion of the lunate is cartilagenous


s+s: dorsal wrist pain, swelling and weakness of wrist associated with use


concern: kienbocks's disease (Avascular necrosis)

hamate fractures

direct impact-when stricking a stationary object with a raquet or a club in full swing


s+s: tenderness-hypothenar mass


painful RROM abduction of the small finger


decreased grip strength

triquetrum fracture

caused by impingement of ulnar styloid into dorsum of triquetrum


s+s: history of acute wrist dorsiflexion injury and deviated to ulnar side or direct trauma


pain-dorsal wrist over triquetrum

metacarpal fractures

of prox end of metacarpal


moi: axial compression


s+s: increase pain and palpable-pain directly over involved metacarpal


increased pain with percussion and compression


management: immobilize in postion of function



boxer's fracture

distal metaphysis or neck of 4th and 5th metacarpal

benett and rolando fracture

articular fracture - prox end of 1st metacarpal


moi: axial compression


pull of APL tendon displaces shaft proximally


deep volar ligaments holds small medial fragment in place - fx - dislocation




rolando is the same but without the dislocation

fibrocartilaginous tear

between lunate/triquetral and ulna


unla deviation with extension


radioulnar seperating

mallet finger

distal extensor tendon rupture/avulsion from distal phalanx


rupture of extensor tendon mechanism: forceful of PIP while extensor tendon is taunt

boutonniere

middle phalanx extensor tendon rupture


moi: rapid forceful flexion of PIP


result: hyperextension at MCP


flexion of PIP


hyperextension of DIP

jersey finger

rupture of flexor digitorum profundus from distal phalanx


moi: rapid extension (from active flexion)

trigger finger

snapping of flexor tendons


locking of nodule passing annular ligament


finger flexors contract but are unable to reextend

wrist ganglion

sheath/tendon herniation


often dorsal but also present in the volar aspect

Dupuytren's contracture

nodules develop in palmar aponeurosis that limit finger extension and cause a flexion deformity

gymnast's wrist

stress fracture to distal radial epiphyseal plate


mechanism: compression

DeQuervain's Tenosynovitis

stenosing tenosynovitis of ext pol br, abd pol long


moi: a forceful grasp combined with repetitive use of thumb and ulnar deviation
