Q

what is the provocative test for de quervains tenosynovitis

A

finkelsteins test - flex the thumb into the palm of the hand with the fingers, making a fist over the thumb. Then passively ulnar deviate the wrist. test is positive if pain is elicited. May also be positive in RA

Q

Treatment of De Quervains tenosynovitis (3)

A
  1. thumb spica splint to immobilize the thumb
  2. NSAIDs
  3. CSI

surgical release of the tight sheath eliminates the friction that worsens the inflammation, thus restoring the tendon’s smooth gliding capability

Q

____ is known as Kienbock’s disease

A

osteonecrosis of the lunate

19
Q

_____ is idiopathic loss of blood supply to the lunate, which causes avascular necrosis of the bone

A

Kienbocks disease

20
Q

Name the stages of Kienbocks disease

A

osteonecrosis of the lunate

Stage 1 - no visible change in the lunate
Stage 2 - sclerosis of the lunate
Stage 3A - sclerosis and fragmentation of the lunate
Stage 3B - 3A with proximal migration of the capitate or fixed rotation of the scaphoid
Stage 4 - 3A or 3B with degenerative changes at adjacent joints

21
Q

Risk factors for kienbocks disease - 2

A
  1. poor vascular supply to the area

2. short ulnar variance

22
Q

what will you see on MRI for kienbocks disease

A

osteonecrosis of the lunate - decreased signal intensity on T1 imaging

23
Q

____ fracture is one of the most common fractures of the wrist. ____%

A

scaphoid fracture - 70%

24
Q

The majority of scaphoid blood supply is to the ____ portion of the bone

A

distal 1/3 - middle and proximal portion have large non-union rate (1/3 develop necrosis)

25
Q

What are the 4 anatomical locations of scaphoid fractures

A
  1. Waist (65%)
  2. Tubercle (2%)
  3. Distal pole (10%)
  4. Proximal pole (15%)
26
Q

With scaphoid fractures will get what clinical finding

ROM will be painful in which two directions

A

swelling and tenderness over thumb/wrist (anatomical snuff box)

extension nd radial deviation

27
Q

what are the borders for the anatomical snuff box

A
  1. base - scaphoid bone
  2. lateral - abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis (1st wrist compartment)
  3. madial - extensor pollicis longus (3rd wrist comparment)
28
Q

XR views to order if concern for scaphoid fractrue

A

Posterior-anterior
oblique view of the wrist in ulnar deviation
- compare to other side

Repeat in 4-6 weeks if still symptomatic
CT scan can be done if question of fracture
bone scan can be positive as early as 24h after injury

29
Q

Treatment of scaphoid fracture?

A
  1. immobilize the wrist in thumb spica cast for 10-14 days (repeat Xrays; location of fracture (prox,mid,distal) will dictate how long immobilization with casting should occur
30
Q

nondisplaced (<2mm) scaphoid fractures; immobilize for _____ with wrist in neutral position

A

6 weeks - then change to thumb spica if healing. If no healing, will need surgery

31
Q

which two situations of scaphoid fractures should be referred to ortho

A
  1. fracture of proximal 1/3
  2. delayed presentation (2-3 weeks)

high risk of AVN

also displaced fractures >2mm

32
Q

Healing time, scaphoid fractures:

  1. distal 1/3
  2. middle portion
  3. proximal portion
A
  1. 8 weeks
  2. 3 months
  3. 4 months or longer
33
Q

hamate fractures:

  1. body fractures usually due to ___
  2. hook fractures usually due to____
A
  1. trauma

2. end swing while holding a racquet, bat, or club

34
Q

Hamate is located ____ and ___ to pisiform and forms radial border of _____

A

distal and radial

guyons canal

35
Q

Pathology?

  • ulnar and palmar wrist pain with racquet, bat or club swing
  • pain worse with axial loading of 4th and 5th metacarpals
  • pain just distal and radial to pisiform
A

hamate fracture

36
Q

4 views to order if concerned for hamate fracture

A

PA, lateral, carpal tunnel, 45 degree supinated oblique view

CT may be required for base of hook fractures

37
Q

in acute hook of hamate fractures _____% heal after prolonged casting (6 weeks to 4 months)

A

50% - optimal if immobilized immediately. older than 2 weeks may require excision

38
Q

Typical method of trapezium fracture

A

typically when base of thumb metacarpal is forced by axial load into the trapezium

39
Q

what are the 3 types of trapezium fractures

A
  1. body
  2. trapeziometacarpal
  3. trapezial ridge
40
Q

6 views if concerned for trapezium fracture

A

PA, lateral, oblique, carpal tunnel, Bett’s view (thumb extended and abducted, wrist slightly pronated, beam centered on scaphotrapeziotrapezium area)

trapeziometacarpal

41
Q

distal radius fractures are named for ____ and ___ of the distal bone

A

angulation and displacement

42
Q

___ is the most common type of distal radius fracture. What is the displacement and angulation?

A

Colles fracture - dorsal displacement and angulation

43
Q

Colles fractures are associated with ____ tears and ____ dissociation

A
