Data Trace Editor – Discussion: – to evaluate C1 (Jefferson), Dens, superior facets of C2; – for evaluating dens fractures, body of C2, & rotary C1-C2 dislocations; – mach lines – teeth, C1 arch; – open mouth view, along w/ lateral view, will reveal fractures of the dens ; … Read more
– Dosing: – usual dose is 200 mg to 400 mg q 12 hr; – 30-40% of drug will be excreted in to urine; – there is some evidence for higher tissue concentrations than seen with other antibiotics, and with a 800 mg dose the tissue concentrations are at … Read more
– Discussion: – used in conjunction w/ a posterior approach: for fixation of condylar fractures, as well as exposure of distal humeral non unions; – olecranon osteotomy can be either non-articularl or trans-articular; – usually the non-articular olecranon osteotomy is used for non-articular condylar fractures; … Read more
– are placed on the medial (ulnar) side to avoid damaging the ulnar nerve; – elbow in 90 deg of flexion; – entry site is 1 1/2″ from the distal end of the olecranon
– See: Obstetrical Paralysis: – Discussion: – injury to the lower roots (C8 and T1 ) & or C7; – may follow forceful abduction of shoulder, produces weakness in intrinsics of hand as well as long flexors & extensors of the fingers; – these lesions are usually preganglionic; … Read more
– Discussion: – artery arises from the internal iliac artery in the pelvis; – in the pelvis, it sends a branch to the obturator internus muscle; – as vessels emerge from obturator canal, they divide into anterior and posterior branches that, instead of continuing down thigh, circle … Read more
Origin: the margin of bone immediately around the medial side of the obturator foramen, from the rami of the pubis and the inferior ramus of the ischium; Insertion: posterior aspect of the greater trochanter; Action: External Rotation of femur at the hip; (see external rotators) Synergists: Periformis, Gemellus Superior, Gemellus Inferior, Obturator … Read more
– See: External Hip Rotators; – Anatomy: – origin: inferior medial surface of the obturator foramen and the quadrilateral surface; – insertion: after passing thru the lesser sciatic notch, it inserts on the superior posterior aspect of the greater trochanter of the femur; – action: outward rotation of the … Read more
– Anatomy: – formed from anterior branches of L2, L3, L4 (see innervation of muscles of the lower limb) – largest nerve formed from anterior divisons of lumbar plexus ; – roots unite within the posterior part of psoas, & then descends thru psoas & runs downward over sacral … Read more
– Discussion: – highest percentage of missed injuries occur in this region; – Exam: – Torticollis: – Radiographs: – Atlanto-occipital Disassociation – C1-C2 interspinous space should not be greater than 10 mm; – occipital condyles should articulate w/ lateral … Read more
