| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What musculoskeletal injury? Soft tissue damage, broken small vessels and inflammation- manifestations: pain, edema, ecchymosis, disability | contusion |
| Management of a contusion? | immediate and appropriate evaluation, cold application, relief of pooled blood, especially if under nail |
| What musculoskeletal injury? force on the ligament causes opposing ends of bones to be dislocated-manifestations: pain, deformity, limited or restricted movement of limb, possible compromise in circulation in ball and socket joints, mostly hip joint | dislocation |
| Management of a dislocation | reduction of dislocation- pulling or manipulation of extremity to bring joint end back into its socket or position |
| What does a sprain involve? | joint and ligaments |
| What is a strain? | tear at muscle-tendon junction |
| How are strains and sprains managed? | Assess 5 Ps, RICE: Rest- allow for healing, movement before tissue is healed could cause more tearing and damage. Ice: immediately 20 minutes at a time. Compression: dry wrap. Elevation: venous return |
| What time frame is critical for tx of soft tissue injuries? | w/in 12 hours |
| Weakest part of bone structure in children- very prone to injury | epiphyseal plate(cartilage growth plate) During adolescence, plates replaced with bone |
| What is the risk of recovery for a child with a fracture at the epiphyseal plate? | altered bone growth |
| What is the risk of recovery for a young child with a bend fracture? | bend fx straighten slowly and risk of incomplete straightening |
| Type of fracture where there is a break on one side and a bend on the other | greenstick- usually in young children- trauma causes incomplete fx |
| Manifestations of an elbow fx | tenderness, inability to rotate, deformity, acute pain- occurs when fall hard on outstretched hands, ulna and radius can be broken |
| Management of fractures | 5 Ps, move injured area as little as possible, splint with soft items, then firm items, elevate, cold compresses |
| What are the 5 Ps? | pain, pulses, pallor, parasthesia, paralysis |
| Why is pedaling done on a cast? | to make edges smooth- taping down edges of cast |
| Components of traction? | forward force- force on distal end of bone counter traction- body weight- backward force friction- body contact with bed surface |
| Purpose of traction? | fatigue involved muscle and reduce muscle spasms so bone ends can align. immobilize the fx site until realignment has been acheived |
| What is different about the periostium of children? | It is thicker and has more blood supply than the adult, osteoblasts form rapidly and produce callus around the broken ends of the bone |
| What component of the bone healing phase serves as the "joint fixator" holding the ends together? | Callus |
| What is bone remolding? | As the callus ages and real bone is laid down at fx site, and as activity and weight bearing is increased, the shape of the bone will regain its prior angulations and dimensions- callus resolves and bone ends heal over time- 6 mos to 1 year |
| What musculoskeletal injury? Trauma causes ligament to be torn or stretched when the joint is twisted or wrenched- damage to blood vessels, muscles, tendon and nerves. Usually sudden onset | Sprain |
| Manifestions of a sprain | laxity, loss of strength, joint feels loose or a snap, pop, or tearing- swelling, inability to move |
| What musculoskeletal injury? microscopic tear at muscle tendon junction- usually occurs over time | strain |
| Manifestions of a strain | painful to touch, swollen, immediate swelling, |
| Which is more severe, strain or sprain? | strain |
| Which overuse syndrome? rotator cuff injury | swimmers shoulder- rest until symptoms clear |
| Which overuse syndrome? occurs when arm is extended under high speed frequently | little league shoulder- pain and loss of ROM, rest until healed |
| Which overuse syndrome? occurs with repetitive throwing, puttling twist on ball | little league elbow- also called tennis elbow |
| Which overuse syndrome? overuse of quadriceps with trauma to the tibial tuberosity- stress on the patellar tendon that attaches the quadriceps at the front of the thigh to the tibial tuberosity | Osgood Schlatter disease- vulnerabilty at growth spurt, age 9-16 y/o- limit stress until epiphyseal plate is fused |
| Which overuse syndrome can cause the shoulder to drop, sometimes confused with scoliosis? | back pack- backpacks worn incorrectly or too heavy |
| Interventions for a child with musculoskeletal trauma | Neurovascular checks, pain assessments, skin care, system assessment r/t immobilization |
| What can cause a pulled elbow in a child? | longitudinal pull to arm, swinging around by arms |
| At what age is a child at risk for a dislocated hip from a fall? | Under 5 years old |
| What type of child will have more pain from muscle spasms? | a child with well developed musulature along long bones |
| Do infants have a lot of muscle spasms? | No, they have little tone, fewer spasms |
| What kind of problems should be addressed in a child with extensive casting? How can we manage these things? | limited mobility, loss of time for developmental milestones, problems with hygiene- use diversional activities, promote cognitive skills and other skills that are not affected |
| Which congenital defect? extra digits | polydactyly |
| Which congenital defect? fusion of digits | syndactyly |
| How are poly/syndactyly treated? | surgical correction |

| Which congenital defect? anulation of bone or within a bone distal to a joint(knee) is towards the midline. Bowlegged | Genu Varum |
| How is genu varum(bowlegged)treated? | Will correct on its own with activity after 2-3 years. Could be pathological- rickets. If doesn't resolve, orthopedic consult. |
| Which congenital defect? angulation of a bone distal to a joint (knee) or in a part of a bone is away from the midline (knock-knees) | Genu valgum- presents between 2-7 years- spontaneously self corrects- if doesn't, orthopedic consult |
| What is metatarus adductus(varus)? | In-toeing most likely caused by abnormal position in uterus- teach parents PROM- if doesn't work, casting can be done to correct |
| Most common form of clubfoot also associated with other conditions such as neuromuscular paralysis, spina bifida, hip dysplasia? | talipes equinus |
| What are the three forms of clubfoot? | Positional(extrinsic) clubfoot Syndromic Congenital(intrinsic) clubfoot |
| Which type of clubfoot? caused by intrauterine crowding, can be corrected with stretching exercises, ROM and casting | Positional(extrinsic) clubfoot |
| Which type of clubfoot? associated with other congenital anomalies, more difficult to treat, surgical intervention, reoccurance of condition | Syndromic |
| Which type of clubfoot? idiopathic, wide range of rigidity, deformity, bony abnormality requires surgical intervention- no neuromuscular issues | Congenital (intrinsic) clubfoot |
| Management of clubfoot | gradually corrected by stretching the structures via serial casting(Ponseti method- final tenotomy at last casting, followed by foot abduction brace for 2-3 mos) or if that doesn't work, surgery(insert pins to stabalize joints, serial casting 2-3 mos |

| Which test to assess for DDH? flex infant's knees in the supine position so that ankles touch buttocks, if knees not level, test is positive | Galeazzi sign |
| Management of DDH | Multiple diapers- abduction, Pavlik harness up to 6 mos- hip flexion and abduction- needs f/u every 1-2 weeks due to rapid growth, For older child, surgical intervention- tenotomy/osteotomy, bryant's traction, cast applied afterward |
