When to Think About Fracture Major Trauma Minor Trauma/No Trauma (Pathological fractures) Bony tumor Osteoporosis Repetative/Unusual Activity Traumatic Fractures • Minor Trauma (sneeze, misstep, lift gallon of milk, raise window etc.) • Most common sites: vertebral bodies, femur and distal radius Age, race, body build Family history Disease states Risk Factors Long-‐term exposure to Co-‐morbidities 1 51 Medications/Toxins menopausal use) Diseases Hyperthyroidism Hyperparathyroidism Cushing’s Syndrome Hypogonadism Chronic Renal Failure Bony Metastasis Rheumatoid Arthritis Ankylosing Spondylitis IDDM Lymphoma Endometriosis Leukemia GI Malabsorption Syndrome Acromegaly Mul2ple Myeloma COPD Chronic Alcohol Dependency Stress Fractures • Insufficiency fractures: bone that is deficient in mineral content or elastic resistance. • Fatigue fractures: normal bone placed under overuse. 2 52 Fatigue Stress Fractures • Most common sites: –Tibia(20-‐75%) Fatigue Stress Fxs: Risk Factors • Repetative overuse • Sudden change in training regimen • Alterations in training surface • Improper foot wear • Women • Leg length discrepancy • Diminished muscle strength • Pattern of decreased WB tolerance over time • Localized pain • Tenderness with palpation • Antalgic gait • MinimaljointROMlossforextra-‐articular lesions • Special tests: tuning fork, patellar pubic percussion test etc. 3 53 4 54 5 55 6 56 Diagnostic Gold Standards • Sensitivities as low as 15-‐29% Plain films can be (–) for 14-‐21 days or longer!! • MRI and bone scan • edema • Grade2:T2image-‐mod/severeperiosteal edema with marrow edema • Grade3:T2andT1images-‐mod/severe periosteal edema with marrow edema • severe periosteal edema with marrow edema; plus obvious Fx line 7 57 8 58 2 1 Fatigue Stress Fxs: Complications • Risk for Fracture Progression Head/neck of femur (2-‐9%) Groin, greater trochantor, deep buttock pain with WBing No palpable tenderness 9 59 Patellar Pubic Percussion Test • Normal bone has clear, “crisp” sound • Bony disruption results in a dull, muffled, diminished • LEs positioned symmetrically • “Grab” patella and hold Patellar Pubic Percussion Test The PPPT was only test that significantly altered post-‐testprobability:Sensitivity0.95(95%CI review with meta-‐analysis.
