Types of Fractures
Does not produce a break in skin
What is Simple/Closed?
Pale skin, Risk for poor perfusion, Cap refill >3 seconds
What is Pallor?
Condition where head of _____ is improperly seated in the acetabulum of the pelvis.
What is Femur?
A congenital abnormality in which the foot and ankle is twisted out of its normal position (SCIENTIFIC NAME)
What is Talipes Equinova?
This type of scoliosis makes up about 80% of all cases.
What is Idiopathic Scoliosis?
Compressed side of the bone bends but the tension side of the bone breaks, causing an incomplete fracture
What is Greenstick?
Movement distal to the fracture site, Inability to move extremity/digits
Paralysis
The most common degree of DDH.
What is Subluxation?
The classification that is most likely to need surgery.
What is Congenital/Idiopathic?
This imaging study definitively diagnoses scoliosis and measures curvature degree.
What is a Standing X-Ray?
Fractured bone protrudes through skin
What is Open/Compound?
Severe ____ unrelieved by Tylenol/Ibuprofen, ___ with elevation & worse with movement
What is Pain?
Mildest form; osseous hypoplasia of acetabular roof
What is Acetabular Dysplasia (Preluxation)?
What is the first stage to treatment?
What is Correction of the Deformity?
This neuro condition can cause secondary scoliosis and involves abnormal spinal cord attachment.
What is Tethered Cord?
Breaks straight through
What is Transverse?
When looking at swelling or edema; Involved limb/digits will feel warm, tense, tight, and pressure in compartment
What is Pressure?
Femoral head loses contact with acetabulum and is displaced posteriorly and superiorly; ligaments are elongated and taut
What is Dislocation?
Serial manipulation, corrective casting, and splints to stretch ligaments and tendons for max anatomic position
What is Ponseti Method (Serial Casting)?
Bracing is usually recommended for curves within this degree range.
What is 25–45 degrees?
Small fragments of bone are broken from fractured shaft & lie in surrounding tissue
What is Comminuted?
Sensation distal to the fracture site, Complains of tingling/burning sensation
What is Paresthesia?
The 2 diagnostic studies for DDH.
What is Barlow & Ortolani test?
Serial casting is changed every ____ until maximum correction is achieved (can take 6-10 weeks).
What is 1 to 2 Weeks?
