3
HEMLOCK Hemlock was frequently administered to criminals Is sedative and antispasmodic Prescribed as a remedy in cases of undue nervous motor excitability Overdose produces paralysis
4
Limp Normal gait Causes of limp Investigations
5
Normal Gait Bipedal Rhythmic and effortless Depends On a number of reflexes Intact locomotor system
6
Gait Cycle
7
Walking Cruise before 1year Walk at 14-18months Develop a mature(adult) gait at 3years
8
Limp Is any disturbance of gait Is due to one or more of 3 general causes Pain Weakness Structural abnormalities
9
Types of Limp Antalgic Neuromuscular Trendelenberg Short leg gait
10
Causes of Limp Congenital Coxa vara, congenital short limb Inflammatory Juvenile chronic arthritis,transient synovitis Infectious Osteomyelitis,septic arthritis,discitis
11
Causes of Limp Developmental Scfe, Ddh, Perthes, acquired limb length discrepancy Neoplastic Benign Malignant Secondary tumours
12
Causes of Limp Traumatic Toddlers and stress fractures Neuromuscular Metabolic Haematological Referred Appendicitis
13
Stress Fracture Adolescent Upper Tibia Looks aggressive
14
Stress Fracture
15
Investigations Plain x-rays Scannogram plus wrist x-ray MRI,CT scan, Bone scan FBC,ESR
16
Hip Intoeing Transient synovitis Development dysplasia of the hip Perthes disease Slipped capital femoral epiphysis
17
Intoeing Common condition Large number of children May be simple or complex Femur Tibia Foot Familial tendency
18
Line of progression Foot progression angle
22
Transient Synovitis Inflammatory condition. Cause unknown. Peak incidence 3-6 years. Mild U.R.T.I. Pain and limp. Resolves in 48 hours. May need aspiration.
23
Ultrasound Femur Capsule Normal Effusion
24
Joint Pain
25
Joint Fluid Aspiration Normal JRA SA Color yellow yellow Blood stained Clarity clear cloudy turbid Viscosity very high low very low WBC count 20000 PMN 75% Gram’s stain-ve -ve+ve in 30-40% Culture-ve -ve+ve in 50-60%
26
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip Incidence 0.1% 4 times commoner in girls Risk factors 1 st. Born Breech Oligohydramnios
27
Diagnosis Ortolani Barlow Asymmetrical folds Galeazzi sign Limp X-ray U/S
28
Ortolani Test Ortolani manoeuvre to determine if the hip is dislocated
29
Barlow’s Test the Barlow is a provocative test for a dislocatable hip
30
Asymmetrical Folds
31
Galeazzi Sign
32
Ultrasound The angle, which is a measurement of the slope of the superior aspect of the bony acetabulum, and the angle, which evaluates the cartilaginous component of the acetabulum
33
Ultrasound Indications for ultrasonography are not universally established Overdiagnosis above the expected incidence of DDH Not Cost–effective
34
Treatment 0-6 months Pavlik 6-18 months Traction and casting More than 18 months Open reduction Osteotomy
35
Thoracic band Shoulder straps Stirrups Ant. Post. Straps
36
Perthes Ischaemic necrosis Collapse and repair Peak incidence 4-9 yrs Limp no pain Classification Lat.Pillar Containment
37
Knee Genu varum Genu valgum
38
Genu Varum
39
Genu Valgum
40
Foot Flatfoot Metatarsus varus Talipes equino-varus Pes cavus
41
Flatfoot Mobile Infantile Postural Temporary Spastic Neuromuscular
42
Physiological Pes Planus
43
Metatarsus Varus Partly genetic Normal hindfoot Adducted forefoot Usually resolves May need stretching and casting
44
Talipes Equino-varus 1.2/1000 live births Stiff Smaller calf Deformities Equinus Inversion Adduction Stretching,strapping Surgery
45
Pes Cavus Neurological Pma Dysraphism Friedrich’s ataxia
