scapular # - MOI, location, medical/surgical management
- reading p 4
proximal humerus # - types, what constitutes a displacement?, medical and surgical management
- reading p 4-5
humoral shaft # - describe 3 locations and their displacement patterns
- reading p 6
humoral shaft # - medical/surgical management and period of immobilization
readin p 6-7
what are the types of distal humerous #?
- reading p 7-8
medical/surgical management of distal humerus #
- reading p 8
what is an Essex-Lopresti lesion
Essex-Lopresti lesion is a specific injury involving a longitudinal disruption of the interosseous ligament of the F/A, usually accompanied by a radial head Fx and/or dislocation, and an injury of the distal R/U joint.
what muscles do proximal forearm #s involve? what is the typical MOI?
Any fracture of the olecranon will affect the triceps mechanism, interfering with active elbow extension. Any fracture of the radial head will interfere with, or cause pain with, forearm pronation and supination.
- reading p 9
medical and surgical management of proximal forearm #? cast used and imobilization period?
- reading p 9
what is a nightstick fracture?

what is a Monteggia fracture

what is a Galeazzi (a.k.a. Piedmont) fracture?

MOI and medical/surgical management of radial and ulnar shaft #s - and period of immobilization
- reading p 10-11
Distal Radius and Ulna Fx: Medical / Surgical Management - period of immobilization, MOI
- reading p 11-12
what is a colles #?

what is a Smith’s Fracture?

what is a Barton’s Fracture?

describe a # of radial or ulnar styloid process

what are the most common types of carpal bone #s and MOI?
Fractures of the carpal bones are most commonly associated with FOOSH injury, or some similar mechanism. The scaphoid accounts for between 50-80% of carpal fractures, with the Triquetrum, Trapezium and Lunate (in descending order) also occasionally involved. A fracture of the other carpal bones is exceedingly rare.
describe scaphoid #s - what findings lead to clinical impression?
- reading p 13
scaphoid # - medical/surgical management - period of immobilization
- reading p 13-14
medical/surgical management of other carpal #s (non-scaphoid)
reading p 14
