Data Trace Editor – Discussion: – note that the main pitfall of this procedure is getting the pin incarcerated within the lateral clavicle; – if the pin does become incarcerated, then attempts to extricate it may result in hardware failure; – the intramedullary canal of the lateral fragment is … Read more
– Discussion: – may be indicated for: – combined fractures of the femoral neck and shaft and for distal femoral fractures; – multi-trauma patient (procedure can be performed in supine position on regular flouro table); – obese patients (starting hole is not a problem); – advantages: – avoids damage to the blood supply to the … Read more
– Discussion: – this sign is positive in pts with acute or chronic posterolateral instability of the knee; – knee begins in flexion while an external rotation and valgus stress are applied; – supine – valgus stress … Read more
– Discussion: – dorsal metacarpal vessels contribute to the fascial plexus, which supplies the skin of the dorsum of the hand; – reverse dorsal metacarpal flap, based on the dorsal metacarpal arteries, can cover small soft-tissue defects in the hand; – axis of this flap parallels dorsal interosseous muscles; … Read more
– Discussion: – indicated for disruption of anterior pelvic ring frx: (APC II)when conditions for open forms of fixation are not optimal; – serve as an alternative to standard plating techniques for pubic ramus fixation; – in the case of pubic ramus frx in addition to symphysis dislocation, the retrograde screw is … Read more
– Discussion: – defect in anteromedial portion resulting from posterior shoulder dislocation; – management of this injury is determined by both the size of impression defect & time locked posterior dislocation has been present; – Non Operative Treatment: – if < 20% of joint surface is involved, joint usually … Read more

– Corrected = Reported Count x pt’s Hct / nl Hct; <1.5%; – Increase: Anemia – Decrease (in Anemic pt): – Chronic dz, Deficiency dz, Marrow Replacement, or Marrow Failure
– See: EMG Menu: – Discussion: – normally there is no activity at resting muscle; – denervated muscle fibers become spontaneously active, producing fibrillation potentials & positive sharp waves approx 10-20 days after nerve injury; – this test assists in differentiating neuropathic muscle atrophy from myopathic atrophy
– See: Humeral Frx – Main Menu – humeral shaft fractures – Retrograde IM Nailing: – main advantage over antegrade nailing, is that violation of the rotator cuff is not necessary (and therefore shoulder motion is not affected); – retrograde nailing is also preferred over antegrade nailing for distal shaft fractures; – main disadvantage is … Read more
