24
What is Osgoode Schlatter's disease?
- irritation of growth plate at the tibial tuberosity
25
Osgoode Schlatter's disease MOI
- overuse - excessive traction of quads via patellar tendon
26
Signs and symptoms of Osgoode Schlatter's disease
- pain over tibial tuberosity - visible bump over tibial tuberosity - pain with contraction & stretch of quads - jumping especially painful
27
Special tests for Osgoode Schlatter's disease
- thomas test - resisted quads
28
Acute management of Osgoode Schlatter's disease
- PIER - roll/soft tissue mobility for quads - lower extremity mechanics - train hamstrings
29
Prevention of Osgoode Schlatter's disease
- diversify activity
30
What is Sever's disease?
- irritation of calcaneal tuberosity growth plate (attachment for achilles tendon)
31
Sever's disease MOI
- overuse - excessive traction of achilles
32
Signs and symptoms of Sever's disease

33
Special test for Sever's disease
- single leg calf raise
34
Acute care for Sever's disease
- stretch gastrocs & soleus - NSAIDs - heel lift
35
Little league elbow MOI
- chronic valgus overload to medial elbow from throwing
36
What else can little league elbow lead to?
- medial epicondylitis - medial epicondylar apophysitis (growth plate injury) - avulsion fracture - MCL sprain
37
Signs and symptoms of little league elbow
- pain & inflammation over medial elbow - pain & weakness with throwing - medial instability
38
Special tests for little league elbow
- wrist flexor muscle testing - valgus stress - x-rays
39
Acute care for little league elbow
- PIER
40
Prevention of little league elbow
- limited pitch counts - proper throwing mechanics
41
Other growth plate irritation sites
- distal radius (gymnastics from repeat load) - anterior inferior iliac spine (tumbling sports such as gymnastics or cheer)
42
Treatment for growth plate fractures
- rest, cast, splint - surgical repair
43
Principles of splinting
- include the joint above & below the injury - pad the splint for comfort & added support - check distal pulse before & after splinting
44
Stages of heat illness
1. Heat cramps 2. Heat exhaustion 3. Heat stroke
45
What are heat cramps?
- muscle cramping during/after activity in the heat
46
What are heat cramps thought to be caused by?
- fluid & salt loss from sweating
47
Who are heat cramps common in?
- runners
48
Signs and symptoms of heat cramps
- pain - spasm
49
Acute care for heat cramps
- rest in cool area - water/sports drink - gentle stretching & massage
50
Prevention of heat cramps
- sufficient hydration & electrolytes - avoid/minimize activity in high temps
51
How does heat exhaustion result?
- activity in hot temps - body's ability to regulate temp becomes stressed
52
Signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion
- normal or slightly elevated body temp - cool, moist, pale skin - headache - nausea - vomiting - dizziness - weakness - exhaustion - level of consciousness starts to decline in later stages
53
Acute care for heat exhaustion
- rest in cool place - cold cloths in armpits, groin, back of neck, drink cool water
54
What might heat exhaustion progress to if left untreated?
- heat stroke - body unable to cool itself
55
Signs and symptoms of heat stroke
- dry, red, hot skin - progressive loss of consciousness - rapid & weak pulse - rapid and shallow breathing - high body temp
56
Acute care for heat stroke
- cool the body - give fluids - minimize shock - call EMS
57
Cold- related emergencies
- frostbite - hypothermia
58
What is frostbite?
- when body tissues freeze following prolonged exposure to cold - water within & surrounding cells freeze & swell which damages the cells
59
What can frostbite result in?
- loss of digits or limbs
60
Superficial frostbite
- skin only
61
Deep frostbite
- skin & underlying tissues freeze
62
Signs and symptoms of frostbite
- decreased sensation - skin is cold and waxy - discolouration - tingling - swelling - pain with rewarming - blisters within 24hrs
63
Repeatability of frostbite
- once an area gets frostbite, subsequent exposure can result in frostbite more easily in area
64
Acute care for frostbite
- gentle rewarming by soaking in warm water - apply dry sterile dressing - gauze btwn fingers/toes - warm drink - blanket **do not rub area
65
What sports is frostbite common in?
- snowboarding - skiing - hockey - skating - fall sports that go late in to season (football, field hockey, rugby, soccer)
66
When to refer to doctor for frostbite
- signs of infection - red streaks - blisters - drainage - no return of sensation or normal skin tone
67
Prevention of frostbite
- dressing in layers - removing wet clothing/gear - avoid extended time during extreme cold weather
68
What is hypothermia?
- a dangerous drop in body temp below 95 degrees celcius following extended exposure to cold
69
Signs and symptoms of hypothermia
- shivering - slow irregular pulse - slow breathing rate - numbness - confusion - drowsiness - pale cold skin - loss of coordination
70
What can hypothermia lead to?
- shock - coma - cardiac arrest
71
Acute care for hypothermia
- ABCs - gradual rewarming with dry clothes - blankets - warm environment - heating pads - warm drinks if alert
