CCEB PART B SET 1 EXAM
Salter-Harris Classification: ANSWER 1- *S*straight across epiphysis 2-
*A*above 3- *L*ower
4- *Through *Everything
5. *R*ammed (compression)
Monteggia - ANSWER Ulnar shaft fracture with anterior dislocation of the radius
at the elbow.
Nightstick (or parry fx): ANSWER fx through the midshaft or distal ulna.
The McGregor line is a direct line that connects the posterior tip of the hard palate
to the lowest point of the occipital bone.
The odontoid process should not pass this line by more than 8 mm.
-platybasia or basilar invagination: Paget disease, osteomalacia, congenital
anomalies, rheumatoid arthritis (consider bone softening illnesses).
Chamberlain's line - Answer from the hard palate to the foramen magnum, basilar
invagination.
Platybasia - Answer: Flattening of the skull base.
Posterior Ponticle - Answer Ossification or calcification of the atlanto-occipital
membrane.
ANSWER: Unossified growing plate between dens and axis.
, Os Odontoideum - Answer Unfused dens. The inferior dens border is smooth and
well-corticated. The anterior arch of C1 is hypertrophied and extensively
corticated. Flexion allows for movement anterior to the C2 body. Can resemble a
cracked den.
Block vertebrae - Answer
Klippel-Feil Syndrome: ANSWER short neck (reduced cervical vertebrae).
Low hairline.
Low Cx ROM.
Get advanced imaging.
Sprengel's Deformity - Answer: Failure of the scapula to descend
ANSWER: The bony bridge between C5 and C6.
Between the SP/TP/Lamina and superior angle of the scapula.
ANSWER: Paraodontoid notches
Eagle syndrome - ANSWER Elongation and/or calcification of the styloid
ligament.
Hahn's Venous Clefts - Answer Horizontal cracks extend through
