Cause RSD/ CRPS

REFLEX SYMPATHETIC DYSTROPHY SYNDROME(RSD / CRPS)

a multi-symptom, multi-system, syndrome usually affecting one or more extremities, but may affect virtually any part of the body .

IT IS injury to a nerve or soft tissue (e.g. broken bone) not follow the normal healing path.

Clinical Features of RSD / CRPS

Pain Skin changes Swelling Movement Disorder Spreading Symptoms Bone changes Duration of RSD / CRPS

Stages of RSD / CRPSSTAGE I

Onset of severe, pain limited to the site of injury (hyperasthesia). Localized swelling Muscle cramps Stiffness and limited mobility STAGE II Pain becomes even more severe and more

diffuse. Swelling tends to spread STAGE III Marked wasting of tissue (atrophic) irreversible. paiN involve the entire limb.

Sympathetic Nervous System to the Patient's Pain

Treatment

Q2 : neurse made elbow

Defination : subluxation of the head of radius

from its encirclement by annular ligament

most common age 6 yrs DUE TO the radial head is spherical and is mainly of cartilage;   

Cause

- mechanism: subluxation of the radial head

generally results from a sudden pull on the upper limb

annular ligament either tears or slips over the radial head, allowing subluxation of radial head;

Clinical Presentation

injured elbow pronated, partially flexed and held by side;    - forearm is pronated and the elbow is partially flexed;    - there is anterolateral tenderness over the radial head;    - usually occurs in children under age 4 and rare after age > 5;    - the child presents with a flexed and pronated forearm supported closely to the trunk of the body;    - the patient complains of pain around the radial head;

Treatment

These techniques are most effective if done within 12 hours of the injury

1-Supination maneuver This consists of simultaneous supination of the

forearm and extension of the elbow, followed by flexion of the elbow (with the palm supinated). The hand goes so far as to touch the shoulder. It is done swiftly and is usually effective. If this maneuver does not work, proceed to the pronation maneuver.

2-Pronation maneuver With a handshake, the forearm is simultaneously

pronated and the elbow is extended, followed by flexion of the forearm (with the palm pronated). It is done swiftly and it is usually effective.

Q3: Ulnar paradox

Def: it is reduces the claw-like appearance of the hand (Instead, the fourth and fifth fingers are simply paralyzed in their fully extended position)

The ulnar nerve also innervates the medial half of the flexor digitorum profundus muscle (FDP). If the ulnar nerve lesion:

flexor digitorum profundus muscle may also be denervated. As a result, flexion of the IP joints is weakened

Treated by surgery .

Q4:Palmaris Brevis

Origin: transverse carpal ligament and the superficial palmar fascia

Insertion: Hypothenar area skin (DERMIS)

Function: Tightens and corrugates the hypothenar skin, may deepen the concavity of the palm

Nerve: Motor Branch of Ulnar Nerve Artery: Superficial Volar Branch of Ulnar

artery

Q5: affecting of smoking on bone

Decreas Bone Mineral Density Increase risk of Bone Fractures Decrease Bone Healing Time and soft

tissue, and surgical wounds In older men and women who smoke,

there is a significant bone loss IN young age increases the risk of

suffering from low bone mass Malunion or non-union of bone may

occur. Risk of infection is increased.

Q6:transient synovitis

Def : is an inflammation and swelling of the tissues around the hip joint. one hip is affected. called "transient" because it lasts only a short time

It is the most common cause of sudden hip pain in children aged 3-10 years

CAUSE

Histories of trauma, which may be a cause or predisposing factor.

Increase in viral antibody Postvaccine or drug-mediated

reactions and an allergic disposition have been cited as possible causes.

Q7:femoral triangle

It appears as a depression inferior to the inguinal ligament when the thigh is actively flexed at the hip joint.

Boundaries

superiorly by the inguinal ligament. medially by the medial border of the

adductor longus muscle. laterally by the medial border of the

sartorius muscle. The muscular floor of the femoral triangle is

not flat but gutter-shaped. It is formed from medial to lateral by the

adductor longus, pectineus, and the iliopsoas The roof of the femoral triangle is formed by

the fascia lata, which includes the cribiform fascia.
