Q

Rough understanding of Risser grading?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Helpful for scoliosis
  • Grading of ossification at iliac crest apophysis
  • 1 = no ossification
  • 5 = complete ossification
25
Low, medium, or high risk curve: Risser 0-1 with presenting curve of <20 deg?
Medium (22% chance of progression)
26
Low, medium, or high risk curve: Risser 0-1 with presenting curve of >20 deg?
High (68% of progression)
27
Low, medium, or high risk curve: Risser 2-4 with presenting curve of <20 deg?
Low (1.6% chance of progression)
28
Low, medium, or high risk curve: Risser 2-4 with presenting curve of >20 deg?
Medium (28% chance of progression)
29
Imaging investigations for scoliosis
- Standing XR of AP + lateral | - MRI - if unusual curve
30
When to refer for AIS (x4)?
- Atypical curve (L side) - Skeletally mature, >45 deg - Skeletally immature, >20 deg or progressive curve - Rapid progression + pain
31
When to rpt XR, refer (Y/N), and tx - if curve 10-19 deg, risser 0-1?
- q6 months - No - Observe
32
When to rpt XR, refer (Y/N), and tx - if curve 10-19 deg, risser 2-4?
- q6 months - No - Observe
33
When to rpt XR, refer (Y/N), and tx - if curve 20-29 deg, risser 0-1?
- q6 months - Yes - Brace if >25 deg
34
When to rpt XR, refer (Y/N), and tx - if curve 20-29 deg, risser 2-4?
- q6 months - Yes - Observation or brace
35
When to rpt XR, refer (Y/N), and tx - if curve 29-40 deg, risser 0-1?
- Yes | - Brace
36
When to rpt XR, refer (Y/N), and tx - if curve 29-40 deg, risser 2-4?
- Yes | - Brace
37
When to rpt XR, refer (Y/N), and tx - if curve >40 deg, risser 0-4?
- Yes | - Surgery
38
What are the thresholds for spinal curvature with (a) dx of scoliosis, (b) brace, and (c) surgery?
(a) 10 deg (b) 25 deg (c) 40-45 deg
39
Medical term for clubfoot
Talipes Equinovarus
40
x4 aspects of deformity for clubfeet
CAVE - Cavus - Adductus - Varus - Equinus (limited ROM/inflexible)
41
Treatment for clubfeet
Ponseti method
42
What should you worry about if there is a unilateral congenital foot deformity?
-Spinal pathology
43
What x2 etiologies do you think about for congenital vertical talus (aka rocker bottom feet)?
- Neuro disorders | - Syndromes
44
What is spondylolysis and what is the sport most commonly associated with this?
=stress # of the pars interarticularis | -gymnastics/dance
45
Kocher criteria (+what does it tell you)
- Fever - WBC count >12 - Inability to bear weight - ESR >40 =Makes you think more about septic arthritis
46
What imaging modalities may show early detection of Perthes prior to XR?
- Bone scan | - MRI
47
What is the chance for AVN secondary to SCFE that is unstable?
50%
48
What is calcaneal apophysitis, how to dx, what sports are more commonly associated, and tx?
- Equivalent to osgood-schlatter - One of the most common causes of heel pain - From jumping sports that may have an abnormal heel strike (dance, gymnastics, soccer) - Heel pain with squeeze test - Tx = bilateral heel cup, rest, NSAIDs, ice
49
Where would the pain be on examination palpation for achilles tendonitis?
2cm proximal to the insertion on the calcaneous
50
Suspicious findings on exam for scoliosis
- Back pain - CALM, sacral dimple, midline cutaneous findings - Unilateral foot deformity - Atypical curve pattern
51
What features would make you do an XR in an ankle injury?
- Not able to bear weight BOTH at site + in ED | - Pain to posterior aspect of malleoli
52
What features would make you do an XR in a foot injury?
- Not able to bear weight BOTH at site + in ED - Tender at navicular bone - Tender at base of 5th metatarsal
53
What is genu varum?
Physiological bowing of the lower extremities in children less than 2 years of age
54
Causes of pathologic bowing?
- Neuromuscular disorders - Metabolic bone disease: vit D deficiency, rickets, hypoPO4 - Asymmetric growth arrest: Blount disease, trauma, infection, tumor - Bone dysplasia: dwarfism, metaphyseal dysplasia, achondroplasia
55
What is Blount disease (plus other name) + how to diagnosis?
=Tibia verum - developmental deformity resulting from abnormal endochondral ossification of the medial aspect of the proximal tibial physes --> varus angulation + medial rotation of the tibia - clinical + standing AP XR for M-D angle
56
Who is more at risk for Blount disease?
- African Americans | - Overweight toddlers
57
What bone tumor is associated with a periosteal reaction?
-Ewing
58
What bone tumor is associated with long + flat bones (e.g., ribs)?
-Eqwing
59
Age range for Perthes
