3 Flashcards
cause of tendon avulsion/ bone fragments
- failure @ insertion
- load exceeding failure strength while muscle contracting
- common in athletes
what is osgoods schlatters
inflammation of patellar tendon at insertion into anterior tibial tuberosity
presentation of ligament rupture
- haemorrhage
- hypertrophic vascular response
- pain
what is ethesiopathy
inflammation at insertion to bone
management complete ligament rupture
- repair
- augmentation
- replacement
management of osteoporosis with T score > - 1
reassure and lifestyle advice
what is this:
- loss of finger extension after having forearm compressed for a long time
radial nerve palsy @ forearm
describe cavovarus foot
weakness of intrinsic muscles causing clawing of toes
investigations reactive arthritis
- ESR (high)
- family history
- HLA B27 positive
diagnosis can be made clinically without investigations
management asymptomatic pagets disease
no evidence to treat unless in area requiring surgical intervention e.g. hip
cause of rickets
severe Vit D or calcium deficiency
define osteogenesis imperfecta type III
progressive deformity with severe bone dysplasia and poor growth
achilles tendonitis
degenerative/ overuse condition with little inflammation
prognosis neurotmesis
partial recovery may occur with surgery
complete recovery is impossible
clinical signs polymylagia rheumatica
- raised ESR (>45, normally around 100)
- anaemia
- > 50 years old
