The document summarizes various common wrist, hand and finger injuries seen in athletes. It describes injuries such as scaphoid fractures, triangular fibrocartilage complex tears, de Quervain's tenosynovitis, mallet finger and boutonniere deformity. For each injury, it discusses mechanisms of injury, clinical findings, investigations and treatment options.
The document provides detailed information on calcaneal fractures, including epidemiology, classification systems, imaging, treatment approaches, and complications. Some key points:
- Intra-articular fractures account for approximately 75% of calcaneal fractures.
- Sanders classification is most commonly used, dividing fractures into 8 types based on number of fragments and location of fracture lines seen on CT scan.
- Goals of treatment are to restore calcaneal height, width, and alignment as well as achieve anatomic reduction of joints. Treatment may include closed reduction, ORIF, external fixation, or arthrodesis.
- Common complications include wound healing issues, post-traumatic arthritis, nerve damage, and mal

Compartment syndrome is a condition caused by increased pressure within a closed fascial space that reduces tissue perfusion and can lead to cell death. It is a true orthopedic emergency. The most common causes are fractures and blunt trauma. Diagnosis involves pain that is worsened with passive stretching of the muscles in the affected compartment. Without treatment, permanent muscle and nerve damage can occur within 8 hours.
The document discusses various types of lower extremity trauma including fractures of the hip, femur, knee, tibia, and ankle. For each injury, the document describes the mechanism of injury, classification systems, treatment options, and important clinical considerations. Management involves restoring anatomy, protecting soft tissues, preventing complications, and allowing for early mobilization depending on the specific fracture pattern and patient factors.
Schmorl's nodes are herniations of nucleus pulposus through the vertebral endplate. They are more common in males in the lower thoracic and lumbar spine. While often asymptomatic, they can cause chronic low back pain. MRI may show surrounding edema and enhancement in symptomatic patients. Treatment options include vertebroplasty or lumbar fusion for refractory pain.
The document discusses the anatomy and common injuries of the spine. It begins by describing the bones that make up the spinal column, including 33 vertebrae separated into 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, and 5 sacral segments. The spine provides stability, protects the spinal cord and nerves, and allows movement. Common injuries include strains from sudden movements, sprains from more violent motions, fractures from axial impacts, disc herniations from repetitive flexion, and nerve injuries like cervical nerve stretch syndrome. Prevention focuses on flexibility, proper technique, and core strength while treatment depends on the specific injury but often involves rest, ice, bracing, and monitoring for complications.
Doctors once thought bony growths called heel spurs brought on the pain. Now they believe that heel spurs are the result -- not the cause -- of plantar fasciitis.
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick band of tissue (also called a fascia) at the bottom of your foot that runs from your heel to your toes.
this is a brief study on plantar fasciitis

The document discusses the treatment and rehabilitation of radial head fractures. Radial head fractures are challenging to treat due to the complex elbow anatomy. The goal of treatment is to restore anatomy and joint function while avoiding post-traumatic arthritis. Common symptoms include elbow pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. Rehabilitation is divided into three phases. Phase I focuses on range of motion exercises while avoiding stress on the joint. Phase II adds in supination and pronation exercises. Phase III aims to regain full pre-injury range of motion by 8 weeks.
The document discusses five common running injuries - plantar fasciitis, shin splints, runner's knee, Achilles tendonitis, and ITB friction syndrome. For each injury, it describes the overview, symptoms, and treatment options. The key points are to rest when injured, strengthen muscles, stretch properly, and seek treatment from a medical professional to prevent aggravating common running injuries.

Supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common elbow fractures in children, typically occurring between ages 5-6. They are usually caused by a fall onto an outstretched hand with the elbow extended. Displaced fractures are typically treated with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, while nondisplaced or minimally displaced fractures can be treated with casting. Complications can include neurovascular injuries, compartment syndrome, loss of reduction, and malunion. Careful examination and management is required to prevent complications.
The document discusses injuries to the spine. It covers the epidemiology, anatomy, classification of injuries as stable or unstable, and mechanisms of injury. It then describes specific cervical and thoracolumbar spine injuries, including fractures, dislocations, and treatment approaches which may involve immobilization, traction, or surgery.
