Study Notes
Olecranon Bursitis
- Treatment for olecranon bursitis is compression bandage and NSAIDs.
- Steroid injections are not the correct treatment.
Cervical Spondylosis
- Degeneration of the cervical spine, presenting as neck pain in patients over 50 years old.
- Degenerative changes of the cervical spine are identifiable via MRI.
- Can also occur in the lumbar spine.
- Technically defined as degeneration of the pars interarticularis component of the vertebral body.
- Increased mobility between the first (atlas) and second (axis) vertebrae.
- High-yield topic for 2CK Surgery and Neurology exam forms, particularly in those with rheumatoid arthritis.
Atlantoaxial Subluxation
- Must perform CT or flexion/extension x-rays of the cervical spine before surgery in patients requiring intubation.
- MRI of the cervical spine is indicated when a patient with RA presents with upper limb paresthesias, implying atlantoaxial subluxation is already occurring.
- Narrows the spinal canal.
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
- Presents as lower back pain in patients over 50, exacerbated by walking downhill, standing, or walking for extended periods.
- Pain improves when leaning forward.
- Can cause "neurogenic claudication", mimicking intermittent claudication, but with normal peripheral pulses.
- Technically an osteoarthritic change of the spine, thus increased risk in obesity.
Cervical Foraminal Stenosis
- Presents as difficulty fastening buttons, weakness of hand muscles, and loss of sensation in the little finger.
- Classic presentation involves C7-T1 foraminal stenosis.
Osgood-Schlatter Disease
- Inflammation of the patellar ligament at the tibial tuberosity.
- Caused by repeated stress on the growth plate of the superior tibia.
Plantar Fasciitis
- Presents as severe heel pain, worst when first getting out of bed in the morning.
Morton Neuroma
- Abnormal growth between the 2nd and 3rd metatarsals, often exacerbated by high heels.
- Benign growth/tumor of intertarsal nerve, cause is idiopathic.
- Diagnosis confirmed by ultrasound showing thickening of interdigital/intertarsal nerve.
- Treatment involves orthotics and steroid injection.
Neurogenic Joint
- Also known as Charcot joint.
- Joint injury caused by lack of joint sensation due to peripheral neuropathy.
- Commonly seen in diabetes, also possible in neurosyphilis.
- X-ray showing "disorganization of the tarsometatarsal joints" in diabetic patients.
Ankle Sprains
- Sprain refers to ligament injury.
- Anterior talofibular ligament is on the lateral side, injured with foot inversion.
- Deltoid ligament is on the medial side, injured with ankle eversion.
- Ottawa criteria are high-yield for family medicine, used to determine need for x-ray or supportive care.
Greenstick Fracture
- Incomplete fracture in children's bones, bending and splintering on one side only.
Linear Skull Fracture
- Most common type of skull fracture.
- Associated with epidural hematoma.
- Presents with Battle sign, raccoon eyes, rhinorrhea, and otorrhea.
Base of Skull Fracture
- Presents as pain in the metatarsal area of the foot in long-distance runners with low BMI.
Metatarsal Stress Fracture
- Long-distance runners with low BMI at risk of developing osteoporosis.
Clavicular Fracture
- Occurs with fall on outstretched hand, or handlebar injury.
- Most common fracture site is the middle-third of the clavicle.
- Treatment involves a Figure-of-8 sling.
Scaphoid Fracture
- Presents as pain over the anatomic snuffbox with fall on outstretched hand.
- X-ray often negative acutely.
- Requires thumb-spica cast to prevent avascular necrosis.
Lunate Fracture
- Presents as pain in the central palm without pain over the anatomic snuffbox with fall on outstretched hand.
Hook of Hamate Fracture
- Cause of distal ulnar nerve injury/Guyon canal syndrome.
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE)
- Common in adolescents with painful gait.
- X-ray shows “ice cream falling off the cone.”
Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease (LCP)
- Affects children with contracted capital femoral epiphysis.
- X-ray shows “ice cream slipping off its cone.”
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)
- Formerly juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
- Presents like adult RA but in children.
- Differentiated from septic arthritis based on intermittent or episodic nature.
- May present with low-grade fever, warm, red, painful joints.
- Low-grade fever can occur in autoimmune flares.
- "Salmon-pink" maculopapular rash present in approximately 50% of cases.
- Anemia of chronic disease may present with low MCV.
- Can be associated with serous pericarditis.
- Arthrocentesis shows elevated leukocytes.
- Anti-cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (anti-CCP) more specific than rheumatoid factor.
- Management focuses on symptom control and disease progression.
Indirect Inguinal Hernia
- Passes through the deep inguinal ring, can be reduced with pressure or a finger over the ring.
Direct Inguinal Hernia
- Does not pass through the deep inguinal ring, will not reduce with pressure over the ring.
- Treatment involves elective hernia repair.
Hydrocele
- Observation is the treatment for children under 1 year old.
Thyroglossal Duct Cyst
- Presents as painless, midline neck lump in children, moving upward with swallowing or tongue protrusion.
- Located inferior to the hyoid bone.
- Demonstrates uptake on Technetium-99 scan.
- Embryologically arises from endoderm of foramen cecum.
Sternocleidomastoid Injury
- Nodular mass in the lateral neck of an infant born with forceps delivery.
Branchial Cleft Cyst
- Idiopathic lateral neck mass in infants, may or may not have an opening to the skin.
Lingual Thyroid
- Presents as hypothyroidism and a midline neck lump located high in the neck.
- May cause dysphagia, dysphonia, or dyspnea.
Alendronate
- Bisphosphonate, inhibiting osteoclasts.
- Used for osteoporosis after calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
- Pamidronate, not alendronate, used for hypercalcemia after normal saline administration.
- Osteonecrosis of the jaw is a rare side effect.
