Injury of Musculotendinous unit, may impact muscle body or closer to attachment points, may impact function such as strength or range of motion
128
Grade 1-3 strain
1 - stretching (tenderness with active use and minimal strength loss) 2 - partial tear (clear weakness with resisted muscle and pain with passive stress) 3 - complete rupture (significant functional and strength deficits, ecchymosis, full thickness tear)

131
Complications of muscle injury
- hematoma - recurrent injury - myositis ossificans (calcification of tissue limiting motion of joints)
132
Volkmann ischemic contracture
Occurs when there is ischemia to the forearm, typically when there is increased pressure due to swelling such as compartment syndrome, prolonged ischemia injures nerves and muscles causing them to become stiff and shortened, muscles of forearm are severely injured leading to deformities of fingers, hands, wrists, can involve 2-3 fingers, all, or complete hand
133
Neuropraxia
Transient episode of motor paralysis often involving he median or ulnar nerve in 20% of elbow dislocations
134
Pediatric bones vs adult bones (4)
- higher water content and lower mineral so less brittle, more elastic - physis is cartilaginous in children - children do not get sprains, they break bones - growth plates more vulnerable than bone or ligaments
135
Growing pains
-recurrent, self limiting extremity pains (most commonly lower extremities and have no correlation with growth spurts) often with no explanation benign and usually resolve with 1 -2 years, must rule out pathologic causes thru thorough H&P, can give NSAIDS/acetaminophen, if persistent pain or constitutional symptoms then further investigation
136
Accessory navicular

137
Calcaneal apophysitis (Sever's disease)

- observation - no braces or shoes, spontaneousy corrects most of time - refer if severe
146
Intoeing and outtoing
-Foot turns in or out more than expected, if stumbling or falling can consider casting, but as long as no underlying pathology typically don't need to do anything (shoes and braces don't help)
