Handbook of Fx Flashcards
(39 cards)
Ankle Brachial Index cutoff, test
< 0.9, angiogram
Open Fx classification
Gustilo and Anderson, Tscherne
G&A 1
Skin open < 1cm, minimal muscle contusion, simple transverse/short oblique Fx
G&A 2
Lac >1cm, extensive soft tissue damage, mild-moderate crush, transverse/short oblique Fx minimal comminution
G&A 3-subclass
extensive soft tissue damage w/muscles and neurovascular, severe crushing high energy (A,B,C)
A-bone is covered, B-bone not covered, C-B+neurovascular comprimise
Antibiotics for open Fx
1&2-1st gen Ceph, 3-add aminoglycoside, farm-same+penicillin
muscle viability factors
color(beefy red), consistency(firm), bleeding(capable of bleeding), contractility(upon pinch/low cautery)
3 spine columns & contents
anterior-1/2+ALL, middle-1/2+PLL, posterior-facets, processes
classification for clavicle fractures
allman
clavicle fracture categories
middle 1/3, distal 1/3, proximal 1/3
distal 1/3 clavicle fracture types
I-minimal displace, II-displaced+medial to CC ligaments(a-conoid/trapezoid attached, b-conoid torn), III-AC joint surface Fx
operative indications-clavicle Fx
unstable medial clavicle, posterior displaced Fx, 100% displacement, open Fx
bankart lesion
anteroinferior labrum avulsion off glenoid rim.
bony bankart
associated glenoid rim Fx
hill sachs lesion
posterolateral head of humerus impression Fx (from anterior dislocations)
HAGL
humeral avulsion of glenohumeral ligaments- tearing of capsule from humerus
Directional pull on greater tuberosity
superior+posterior from supraspinatus+external rotators
Lesser tuberosity directional pull
medial-subscapularis
Humeral shaft directional pull
medial-pec major
humeral head/proximal fragment directional pull
abduction-deltoid
proximal humerus Fx classification
Neers
4 parts of proximal humerus
greater tuberosity, lesser tuberosity, humeral shaft, humeral head.
Anatomic neck of humerus Fx treatment
hemiarthroplasty vs ORIF
surgical neck of humerus Fx Tx
perc pinning/screws
