Peds Flashcards
(95 cards)
physical fx
z of provisional calc in z of hypertrophy
physical arrest
bar resection if >2cm growth and <50% physeal involvement
Block to reduction proximal humerus fracture
biceps tendon, deltoid, periosteum
Acceptable reduction proximal humerus fx
<5 yo: 70° and 100% displacement
5-12yo:Upto40°to70°
>12 yo: 40° and 50% displacement
angulation tolerated humeral shaft fx
30 degrees
SCH fx
N injury for extension
N injury for flexion
AIN for extension type
ulnar nerve for flexion type
lateral condyle fx xray
internal oblique
lat condyle complication
avn - posterior blood supply
cubitus valgus - ulnar n palsy
transphyseal distal hum fx
child abuse
proximal radius fx
reduce if >30-45 degrees
forearm fx alignment
– Bayonet OK – Younger than 9 • 15° angulation • 45° rotation – Older than 9 • 10° angulation proximal • 15° angulation distal • 30° rotation if distal – Anatomic if approaching skeletal maturity
cast index
<0.8 thickness over width
femur fx
• Up to 6 mo: Pavlik • Up to 5 years: – Spica Cast – Up to 2 cm shortening – 0.5 to 2 cm overgrowth >5 years Flexi nails if <11 yo or <45-50 kg, 80% fill or rigid nail
tibial tubercle fx
type 3 involves the joint
if block to reduction it’s likely meniscus
tibial spine fx
type 1/2 - non displaced can treat in LLC in extension
Type 3/4 need arthroscopic or ORIF
complication is high rate of stiffness and late instability
late deformity for proximal tibia fx
valgus deformity 6 months after, usually corrects in 1-2 years
tibia fx operative
Consider operative
• >5° Posterior
• >5-10° Varus/Valgus
risk of growth arrest for distal tibia fx
post reduction gap of >3mm
tillaux fx
aitfl
triplane
SH2 on lat, SH3 on AP, is a SH4
kid halo pins
6-8 pins at 2-4 inch pounds
what bug needs blood culture medium
kingella kingae
involucrum
new bone formed by active periosteum
sequestrum
necrotic bone atet is avascular
