Data Trace Editor – Discussion: – characterized by tearing of coracoclavicular ligaments & upward displacement of the medial fragment; – displacement secondary to frx medial to the CC ligaments – Deforming Forces: – wt of arm pulls outer fragment downward and forward due to attachments of trapezoid ligament to scapula; … Read more
– Discussion: – least common pediatric femoral neck frx (about 7%); – capital femoral epiphysis may stay w/in acetabulum but in 50% of cases the capital fragment is dislocated; – tends to occur in infants and young children; – this injury may be the result of a … Read more
– Discussion: – undisplaced or minally displaced frx; – lateral view: anterior humeral line remains intact but a posterior fat pad sign may be present; – frx may be seen on oblique x-ray; – treatment: – treated w/ immobilization in long arm … Read more
– Discussion: – fissure or margin sector fracture w/ displacement less than 2 mm; – type I fractures may be difficult to identify; – fat pads are intracapsular but extrasynovial; – anterior fat pad is normally visible anterioir to coronoid fossa; – posterior fat pad … Read more
– Discussion: – due to loss of estrogen & affects postmenopausal women; – 2-3% accelerated (loss for 6-10 yrs which then returns to basal loss of 0.3-0.5 %/year; – primarily loss of trabecular bone: – associated w/ greater decline in medullary bone & preservation … Read more
– Discussion: – articular fracture without significant displacement; – malleolar fractures with large plafond fragments; – these fragments are usually posterior; – posteroinferior tibiofibular ligament & deep transverse ligament are attached to the fragment; – first reduce & fix fibula; … Read more
– Discussion: – tendon retracted to the palm, held up by the lumbrical origin – tendon retracts into palm, severing all blood supply and creating extensive scarring in tendon sheath; – vincula are ruptured; – patients are tender in palm, but able to fully flex PIP joint; – location of … Read more
– Discussion: – encountered in infants and young children; – this frx is difficult to diagnose since humeral epiphysis since it is mostly cartilage; – Treatment: – if arm is shortened and abducted then restore length & alignment by applying longitudinal traction w/ arm in 90 deg of abduction, … Read more
– See: Collagen Discussion: – Discussion: – type I is the major collagen of tendon and bone, but it is also the predominant in lung, skin, dentin, heart valves, fascia, scar tissue, cornea, and liver; – type I collagen is essential for the tensile strength of bone; … Read more
– Discussion: – most common; – occur thru base of odontoid process & may be caused by either hyper-flexion or hyperextension forces; – blood supply is often comprimised in a type 2 frx – type II frx occurs at base of dens, typically, frx plane is transverse; … Read more
