A

Normal in newborns up to 4

20
Q

Stapling one side of epiphyseal growth plate or femoral osteotomy

21
Q

Development of the arch occurs between what ages?

A

2-6 years old

22
Q

When does a physiological flat foot require no treatment?

A

Medial longitudinal arch absent non wt bearing and tip toes is present.

23
Q

What is the position of limbs and spine in a windswept deformity?

A

ABD and ER of one hip, with opposite hip ADD and IR

24
Q

For the mid tarsal joint give the nomenclature for the deformity:

Adduction
Abduction
Flexion
Extension
Pronation 
Supination
A
Adductus
Abductus
Cavus deformity 
Rocker-Bottom
Pronation deformity
Supination deformity
25
Q

What is DDH?

A

Developmental dislocation hip

26
Q

What are factors predisposing to DDH?

A

Breech presentaiton
Ligamentous laxity
Female to male 6:1

27
Q

What are some factors that promote a healthy hip joint?

A

Normal muscle balance
Concentric femoral head
Deep and concentric acetabulum

28
Q

What is the Barlow sign?

A

flex and adduct the leg. Hip will gently be pushed posteriorly – toward the back – along the line of the femur shaft.
Positive test= femoral head slip out of the acetabulum as the hip dislocates out of the socket.

29
Q

What is ortaloni sign?

A

Abducts, or moves the infant’s legs apart, into the frog-leg position. If hip dislocated, the femoral head slides into the hip socket during this movement.

Palpable and audible clunk as the head slips back into the socket.

30
Q

What kind of curve is typically observed in a 6 month old?

A

More lumbah curve

31
Q

What is Talipes equino varus?

A

Clubfoot

Equino= Plantarflexion; Varus= Inversion

32
Q

A child with a right scoliosis presents with a windswept deformity. Name the position of each leg.

A

Left leg ABD/ER

Right leg ADD/IR

33
Q

For the ankle joint give the nomenclature for the deformity of each of the following motions:

Flexion
Extension

A
Flexion= Equinus 
Ext= Calcaneus
34
Q

For the subtalar joint give the nomenclature for the deformity of each of the following motions:

Inv

A
Inv= Heel Varus
Ever= Heel Valgus
