blue sclera
Dx, Time of presentation, prognosis/issues, genetics?
OI type 1
Fractures in preschoolers
Autosomal Dominant
hearing loss by adult (conductive and sensorineural)
type A vs B OI type 1
A: good teeth
B: bad teeth
most severe type of OI, genetics
type 2: born w/ multiple fractures
inherited as new mutation or germinal mosaicism
achondroplasia:
- genetics
- cause of sudden death
AD, or spontaneous mutation in >80%
cervicomedullary junction compression
congenital torticollis can be associated w/ what?
Tx?
When till surgery?
hip dysplasia.
PT/stretching, but surgery if still present at 1y
head tilt with fusion of cervical vertebrae (congenital synostosis of cervical vertebrae)
Dx, other issues?
Klippel-Feil syndrome
issues: short neck, low occipital hairline, scoliosis, myelo, renal issues, sprengel deformity, deafness (assoc GU, cardiopulm, CNS issues)
(Clipper file: clippers giving bad haircut and spine disaster)
normal kyphosis
20-40, No intervention if < 60.
Bad posture, kyphosis, back pain in teen
Dx
Tx
Scheuermann dz
NSAID, pt, obs
What is sprengel deformity?
looks like torticollis, but its due to failure of scapula to descend and affected side is broader and shorter
Congenital elevation of the scapula
Barlow vs Ortolani
Which side usu worse?
Barlow: adduction w/ downward pressure
Ortolani: attempt to relocate
Left worse
migratory arthritis w/ rash?
think rheumatic fever, strep

Dx and tx?
osteochondritis dissecans
adolescent boys: immobilization, eventual removal of fragments if not improved
pain just below knee in adolescent athlete?
Osgood Schlatter
When to observe for scoliosis?
if curve < 25degrees
When to brace for scoliosis
if more than 2 yrs growth expected, and curve is 25-40
When surgery is needed for scoliosis
curve >40-45
Dx w/ swelling of bone shafts only in cortical bone, with progressive cortical thickening. DDX?
Caffey Dz.
DDX: NAT, but there is no periosteal involvement
internally rotated foot with contracted achilles
Dx?
Tx?
how often both feet?
club foot, tx: stretch, cast serially (Ponsetti 4-5 wks), surgical release in late 1st year.
50% bilateral
genu varus ok until when, then think what?
bow legged okay until age 2 and if bilateral.
If not, think rickets, Blounts disease
Blount’s disease
What is it, what are the types
pathology of proximal tibial physis/epiphysis
Infantile: African Americans, no tx needed
Adolescent: obese African American: need tx
