Study Notes
Osteosarcoma
- Most common in young adults and adolescents
- Asymptomatic until well established
Osgood-Schlatter Disease
- Irritation and inflammation at the site of the quadriceps attachment on the tibia
- Caused by activity that stresses and stretches the quadriceps
- Most likely to develop in athletic adolescents
- Symptoms: sore, tender, hot, swollen knee
Osteoporosis
- Calcium is removed from the bones faster than it is replaced
- Asymptomatic precursor: osteopenia
- Controlled risk factors: hormone levels, Vitamin D, medications, being sedentary, diet, tobacco or alcohol use
- Uncontrolled risk factors: gender, age, body size, ethnicity, and family history
- Calcium absorption in the diet can be promoted by Vitamin D and K, and requiring an acidic environment in the stomach
- Events that promote calcium loss and reduce bone density: sweat, urination, menopause, and other underlying disorders
- Late-stage signs: spontaneous fractures, vertebral collapse, hyperkyphosis, and loss of height, acute, chronic back pain
- Common complication: fractures
Compartment Syndrome
- Acute: complication of fracture or crushing injury
- Chronic: repetitive athletic activity causing tight fascial compartments
- Medical emergency: acute compartment syndrome
Dupuytren Contracture
- Palmar fasciitis
- Triggered by: work with vibration, smoking, alcohol, and diabetes
- Description: connective tissue pouch filled with fluid at the wrist
Ganglion Cysts
- Description: CT pouches filled with fluid
- Common locations: wrist, hand, top of foot
- Presentation: connective tissue pouch filled with fluid at the wrist
Hammer Toe
- Description: foot deformity of the lateral toes, usually the 2nd toe
- Contributing factor: footwear
- Signs and symptoms: visible deformity, involuntary contraction of foot muscles, pain at friction sites, flexible tissue becomes hard over time
Hernias
- Description: hole in the abdominal wall
- Contributing factor in men: inguinal canal is a weak spot
- Most common type in men: direct inguinal hernia
- Hiatal hernia: related to overstretching of the opening for the esophagus in the diaphragm
- Signs and symptoms of inguinal hernia: sharp or mild pain, feeling of fullness, palpable bulge
- Signs and symptoms of hiatal hernia: GERD, shortness of breath
- Complication: structures will become trapped and strangulated
Morton Neuroma
- Description: CT sheath of common digital nerves becomes thickened
- Caused by: common digital nerve is compressed by a connective tissue sheath
Plantar Fasciitis
- Description: degeneration and irritation of collagen on the plantar fascia
- Contributing factors: bad footwear, overweight, change in activity levels, problems with gait/feet, tight calf muscles, complications of other conditions (gout, RA, diabetes)
- Signs and symptoms: pain, stiffness, especially in the morning
Pes Planus/Cavus
- Pes planus: flat feet
- Pes cavus: caved feet
- Common factors with pes planus: weakness in tibialis posterior tendon, HT at peroneus muscles on the lateral side
- Common factors with pes cavus: underlying diseases like muscular dystrophy and Charcot-Marie-Tooth Syndrome
- Repercussions: arthritis in feet, plantar fasciitis
- Symptoms: gait and movement compensations, lateral foot pain, callus and ankle instability with pes cavus
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Description: set of signs and symptoms connected to entrapment of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel
- Contributing factors: repetitive movements with the hands
- Caused by: pressure on nerve or blood flow to nerve
- Can be caused by: neck injury, herniated disc
- Multiple crush syndrome: compression and swelling along the entire length, causing pain
- Affected area: palmar surface of the first three digits, and the palm
- Signs and symptoms: tingling, pins and needles, and weakness
Disc Disease
- Description: problems with the nucleus pulposis and/or the annulus fibrosis of IV discs
- Also known as: intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD)
- Discs usually protrude: posterolaterally
- Disc injury: lifting – twisting
- Signs and symptoms: pain, limited range of motion
Bursitis
- Description: inflammation of a bursa, internal cells proliferate, generate excess fluid and cause pain and limitation
- Contributing factor: overuse, repetitive movements
- Signs and symptoms: pain on PROM and AROM, limited ROM
Shin Splints
- Description: group of lower leg problems
- Contributing factors: physical activity (e.g., running, gymnastics, dancing)
- Types: medial tibial stress syndrome, tibialis anterior/posterior injury, periostitis, stress fractures
- Most common type: medial tibial stress syndrome
- Signs and symptoms: pain (mild to severe), worse with activity, not visibly inflamed but palpation is painful
Tendinopathies
- Description: injury, damage to tendon, tenosynovial sheaths
- Most likely to develop: rotator cuff and biceps tendon
- Intrinsic factors: direct or shearing forces transferred through the tendon, over-use without recovery time, poor flexibility, underlying disease or a history of corticosteroid injection
- Extrinsic factors: training problems and injuries
- Types: tendinitis, tendinosis, tenosynovitis
