type III and type IV TYPE III Typically occurs when the growth plat is partially fused. Rare, but most commonly occurs to the distal tibia in adolescents. -may lead to long-term problems secondary to frx, crossing the epysis and extending into the articular surface of the bone. even with this potential, the prognosis is typically favorable since these frx rarely result in a significant deformity. TYPE IV most commonly seen at distal humerus. - this frx interferes w/ cartilage growth, it may lead to premature focal fusion of the involved bone causing deformity of the jt

ulna external rotates/supinates during elbow flexion (volar glide on radioulnar jt) and internally rotates (or pronates) during elbow extension (dorsal glide on radioulnar jt)

relationship of ulnar collateral and radial collateral ligament in elbow

ulnar collateral ligament provides strong resistance to valgus forces, resistance of radial collateral ligament to varus forces is minimal due to its attachment to another soft tissue structure (annular ligament) -functional activities place tensile forces medially and compressive forces laterally. therefore the lateral ligament does not have to be strong as the medial

bone scans

-chemical laced with radioactive tracers are injected -isotope settles in areas with high level metabolic activity of bone -radiograph used to identify "hot spots" of increased metabolic activity -used for rheumatoid arthritis, possible stress fractures, bone cancer, infections in bone, often receive a bone scan since these dysfunctions increase metabolic activity of bone in affected regions

Step 1: The patient lays only half way up the bed, with the hips flexed, the trunk muscles relaxed and the feet resting on the floor. A PA pressure is applied over the most symptomatic spinous process. Step 2: The PA pressure is let go and the patient is requested to slightly lift the feet off the floor. The patient requires holding on to the sides of the bed for support as this will produce a co-contraction of the global abdominal, gluteal and erector spinae muscles. Step 3: The PA pressure is re-applied over the same level spinous process. If a dramatic reduction or the complete elimination of the symptoms is noted compared to step 1, it is considered a positive prone instability test.

This test differentiates between a tightness in the capsule and tight rectinacular ligaments. -PIP is stabilized in neutral while DIP is flexed. then PIP is flexed and DIP is flexed -if flexion is limited in both cases, capsule is tight. If more DIP flexion with PIP flexion, then retinacular ligaments are tight

Bunnel-Littler test

This test evaluates the source of PIP flexion motion limitation by differentiating between intrinsic muscle or capsular tightness in the affected digit. A typical patient presentation may include pain located in the distal intermetacarpal space and with prolonged gripping or making a fist. ---- The MCP joint is held in an extended position and the therapist passively flexes the PIP making note of the available range. The test is then repeated with the MCP joint flexed. If no change in motion is detected between the two tests, then capsular restriction at the PIP joint is implicated. If the motion increases when the MCP joint is flexed, then lumbricale muscle tightness is implicated.[2]

which is the most common type of salter harris fracture classification? a. I b. II c. III d. IV e. V

The stem describes a case of suspected slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Signs and symptoms are typically found in adolescent patients (10-16 years old) and include leg shortness, knee pain, and pain when the hip is medially (internally) rotated. Groin pain will be triggered with the anterior impingement test (hips flexed to 80° to 90° and medially [internally] rotated with adduction) if slipped capital femoral epiphysis exists. d. . The stem describes a case of suspected slipped capital femoral epiphysis. The flexion, abduction, external rotation test (FABER) described in this option is used to indicate lumbar, sacroiliac joint, or posterior hip dysfunction associated with the hip capsule. Although it is a femoroacetabular impingement test, it is a better indicator of posterior hip dysfunction than anterior hip dysfunction.
