  • Netter's Musculoskeletal Flash Cards, 1E
    Netter’s Musculoskeletal Flash Cards Jennifer Hart, PA-C, ATC Mark D. Miller, MD University of Virginia This page intentionally left blank Preface In a world dominated by electronics and gadgetry, learning from fl ash cards remains a reassuringly “tried and true” method of building knowledge. They taught us subtraction and multiplication tables when we were young, and here we use them to navigate the basics of musculoskeletal medicine. Netter illustrations are supplemented with clinical, radiographic, and arthroscopic images to review the most common musculoskeletal diseases. These cards provide the user with a steadfast tool for the very best kind of learning—that which is self directed. “Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.” —Abigail Adams (1744–1818) “It’s that moment of dawning comprehension I live for!” —Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes) Jennifer Hart, PA-C, ATC Mark D.

  • Validation of a Clinical Prediction Rule for the Differentiation Between Septic Arthritis and Transient Synovitis of the Hip in Children by MININDER S
    COPYRIGHT © 2004 BY THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY, INCORPORATED Validation of a Clinical Prediction Rule for the Differentiation Between Septic Arthritis and Transient Synovitis of the Hip in Children BY MININDER S. KOCHER, MD, MPH, RAHUL MANDIGA, BS, DAVID ZURAKOWSKI, PHD, CAROL BARNEWOLT, MD, AND JAMES R. KASSER, MD Investigation performed at the Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery, Biostatistics, and Radiology, Children’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts Background: The differentiation between septic arthritis and transient synovitis of the hip in children can be difficult. The purpose of the present study was to validate a previously published clinical prediction rule for this differentiation in a new patient population. Methods: We prospectively studied children who presented to a major children’s hospital between 1997 and 2002 with an acutely irritable hip. As in the previous study, diagnoses of septic arthritis (fifty-one patients) and transient synovitis (103 patients) were operationally defined on the basis of the white blood-cell count in the joint fluid, the re- sults of cultures of joint fluid and blood, and the clinical course. Univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression were used to compare the two groups. The predicted probability of septic arthritis of the hip from the prediction rule was compared with actual distributions in the current patient population. The area under the receiver operating char- acteristic curve was determined. Results: The same four independent predictors of septic arthritis of the hip (a history of fever, non-weight-bearing, an erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 40 mm/hr, and a serum white blood-cell count of >12,000 cells/mm3 (>12.0 × 109/L)) were identified in the current patient population.

  • Ankle and Pantalar Arthrodesis
    ANKLE AND PANTALAR ARTHRODESIS George E. Quill, Jr., M.D. In: Foot and Ankle Disorders Edited by Mark S. Myerson, M.D. Since reports in the late 19th Century, arthrodesis has been a successful accepted treatment method for painful disorders of the ankle, subtalar, and transverse tarsal joints. While the title of this chapter involves arthrodesis - the intentional fusion of a joint - as a form of reconstruction, this chapter will address not only surgical technique, but nonoperative methods of care as well. We will address the pathophysiology leading to ankle and hindfoot disability, succinctly review the existing literature on the topic of hindfoot and ankle arthrodesis, highlight the pathomechanics involved, and spend considerable time on establishing the diagnosis, indications, and preoperative planning when surgery is indicated. We also will discuss the rehabilitation of the postoperative patient, as well as the management of complications that may arise after ankle and pantalar arthrodesis. There are more than thirty different viable techniques that have been described in order to achieve successful ankle and hindfoot arthrodesis. It is not the purpose of this chapter to serve as compendium of all the techniques ever described. The author will, rather, attempt to distill into a useful amount of clinically applicable material this vast body of information that the literature and clinical experience provide. Ankle arthrodesis is defined as surgical fusion of the tibia to the talus. Surgical fusion of the ankle (tibiotalar) and subtalar (talocalcaneal) joints at the same operative sitting is termed tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. Fusion of the talus to all the bones articulating with it (distal tibia, calcaneus, navicular, and cuboid) is termed pantalar arthrodesis.

Appropriate imaging and clinical examinations more components of the coracoacromial arch superiorly. may lead to early diagnosis and treatment of the shoulder The coracoacromial arch is composed of five basic struc- impingement syndrome, thus preventing progression to a tures: the distal clavicle, acromioclavicular joint, anteri- complete tear of the rotator cuff. In this article, we discuss or third of the acromion, coracoacromial ligament, and the anatomic and pathophysiologic bases of the syn- anterior third of the coracoid process (Fig. 1). Repetitive drome, and the rationale for certain imaging tests to eval- trauma leads to progressive edema and hemorrhage of uate it. Special radiographic projections to show the the rotator cuff and hypertrophy of the synovium and supraspinatus outlet and inferior surface of the anterior subsynovial fat of the subacromial bursa. In a vicious third of the acromion, combined with magnetic reso- cycle, the resultant loss of space predisposes the soft nance images, usually provide the most useful informa- tissues to further injury, with increased pain and disabili- tion regarding the causes of impingement.

This debilitating joint disease causes progressive articular cartilage degeneration and coupled with a poor capacity to heal necessitates that articular cartilage injury is detected early before irreparable damage ensues. The use of diagnostic imaging is critical to identify and characterize articular cartilage injury, though currently available methods are unable to identify these early degenerative changes. Cationic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) uses a cationic contrast media (CA4+) to detect the early molecular changes that occur in the extracellular matrix. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) within the extracellular matrix are important for the providing the compressive stiffness of articular cartilage and their degradation is an early event in the development of osteoarthritis. Cationic CECT imaging capitalizes on the electrostatic attraction between CA4+ and GAGs; exposing the proportional relationship between the amount of GAGs present within and the amount of CA4+ that diffuses into the tissue. The amount of CA4+ that resides in the tissue is then quantified through CECT imaging and estimates tissue integrity through nondestructive assessment.
