down. - -Airplane cast
-What cast has the arm at 90°, elbow flexed to 90° hand facing forward
palm down. - -Airplane cast
-Fracture @the distal tibia the the growth plate and travels above or
superior to the growth plate. - -Salter Harris #2
-Name the types of traction. - -Skin, manual traction and skeletal traction.
-Fracture through the growth plate completely, with the fracture line
oblique. - -Salter Harris #4
-Fracture @the distal tibia the the growth plate and travels above or
superior to the growth plate. - -Salter Harris #2
-Fracture distal tibia through the growth plate then angled down/lower
inferior to the growth plate? - -Salter Harris #3
-What do you need for skeletal traction. - -Stinemann pins and Kirschner
wires
-A slipped fracture at the growth plate in the distal tibia? - -Salter Harris #1
-Fracture through the growth plate completely, with the fracture line
transverse. - -Salter Harris #4
-Clinical union delayed until after 3 months. - -Delayed union
-Salter Harris Fracture #5 - -compression fracture at the distal tibia,
affecting the growth plate. The ends are rMmed against each other.
-dislocation vs. subluxation - -Dislocation (a complete disruption of the joint)
and subluxation (a partial dislocation followed by relocation)
-Fracture distal tibia through the growth plate then angled down/lower
inferior to the growth plate? - -Salter Harris #3
-Bulky Jones - -a bulky Jones splint or dressing is used to push fluid back
into systemic circulation while keeping the foot and ankle in position
,-The location of the fracture can influence what? - -Blood supply
-Schatzker classification - -tibial plateau fractures
-A slipped fracture at the growth plate in the distal tibia? - -Salter Harris #1
-Goniometer - -instrument used to measure joint angles
-Russell's traction - -- Modified Buck's extension with sling under knees;
note risk of impaired circulation in lower leg
- Used for fractures of femur, hip, or knee disorders
-Pavlik Harness - -used for hip dysplasia in infants
Remove only to take baths
-Salter Harris Fracture #4 - -compression fracture at the distal tibia,
affecting the growth plate. The ends are rMmed against each other.
-Holstein-Lewis fracture - -a fracture of the distal third of the humerus
resulting in entrapment of the radial nerve
-Actual pulling force on an extremity is how much? - -Double the applied
weight
-Exsanguination dressing - -dressing used for heavy blood loss
-dislocation vs. subluxation - -Dislocation (a complete disruption of the joint)
and subluxation (a partial dislocation followed by relocation)
-peroneal nerve - -Impulses to/from anterior leg and foot. it's significant
trauma is found on the lateral lower leg with broken fibula and drop foot
suspect damage to this nerve.
-Max skin traction - -5lbs
-Cortical vs Cancellous Screws - -cancellous screws are self tapping screws.
cortical screws have closely spaced shallow threads.
-Bulky Jones - -a bulky Jones splint or dressing is used to push fluid back
into systemic circulation while keeping the foot and ankle in position
-Gardner-Wells tongs - -device for immobilization of cervical spine injuries in
which two sharp metal pins are screwed into the superficial layer of the skull.
they are then connected to hang in weights or other traction devices for
, stabilization of the spine. they may also be used for definitive treatment of
spine injuries.
-When the fracture is rammed into itself - -Impacted fracture
-Osgood-Schlatter disease - -inflammation or irritation of the tibia at its
point of attachment with the patellar tendon
-Schatzker classification - -tibial plateau fractures
-rotate cuff muscles - -supraspinatus infraspinatus subscapularis teres
minor
-Epyphyseal fracture - -fracture at the growth plate
-which rotator cuff muscle abducts the arm - -Supraspinatus
-Goniometer - -instrument used to measure joint angles
-which rotator cuff muscles externally rotate the arm - -infraspinatus and
teres minor
-Hawkins Kennedy test - -shoulder impingement. forward flex shoulder to
90, bend elbow and internally rotate the humerus
-which rotator cuff muscle internally rotates the arm - -subscapularis
-Pavlik Harness - -used for hip dysplasia in infants
Remove only to take baths
-plantar fascia - -A strong ligament that holds the tarsal bones in an arch
and gives you a spring in your step when you walk.
-stellate fractures - -Have a starlike shape that is the result of the force with
a localized blow bending inward causing fracture along stress line, the knee
-fasciotomy - -a surgical incision through the fascia to relieve tension or
pressure
-Holstein-Lewis fracture - -a fracture of the distal third of the humerus
resulting in entrapment of the radial nerve
-Panner's disease - -Capitellum AVN in a kid "thrower"
-Most common foot dislocation - -Lisfranc injury
