Title: Missdiagnosis in the Radiologic Evaluation of Extremity Trauma


1
Miss-diagnosis in the Radiologic Evaluation of
Extremity Trauma
  • ? ? ? ??
  • 92-12-10

2
Part I. The Upper Extremity
3
  • 25 y/o male , a victim of MBA
  • C.C. right shoulder pain , cant raise his
  • right shoulder
  • PE
  • DDx
  • LAB radiology
  • Tx

4
Physical Examination
  • Inspect from the anterior, posterior, and lateral
    positions
  • Palpation of the shoulder
  • The active and passive ranges of motion should be
    tested
  • A thorough neurovascular examination should be
    performed

5
1.Clavicle
  • Nondisplaced complete fractures may be missed
    unless an image is obtained with 15 degrees of
    cephalic angulation
  • Mechanism fall onto an outstretched hand
  • Middle one third of the clavicle 80
  • Outer one third of the clavicle 15 - associated
    with coracoclavicular ligament disruption
  • Association fracture ribs fracture

6
Acromioclavicular Joint
  • Acromioclavicular joint dislocations ( separation
    ) a fall on an outstretched arm in patients who
    are 15 to 40 years of age
  • A single radiographic view that includes both
    joints permits the assessment of symmetry.
  • Stress views taken with weights suspended from
    each wrist will provide the diagnosis

7
  • The normal acromioclavicular joint space 3 to 8
    mm , varies no more than 2 to 3 mm between the
    two joints
  • In uninjured patients, the inferior cortical
    margins of the acromion and clavicle are smoothly
    contiguous,
  • The coracoclavicular distance measures 11 to 13
    mm. A difference of more than 3 to 4 mm between
    the two sides is abnormal.

8
  • Type I is a clinical diagnosis. Despite normal
    radiographs, the acromioclavicular ligaments are
    stretched or torn.
  • Type II manifests as widening of the
    acromioclavicular joint and/or minor elevation or
    posterior subluxation of the distal portion of
    the clavicle. These findings indicate isolated
    disruption of the acromioclavicular ligament.
  • Type III represents disruption of both the
    acromioclavicular and the coracoclavicular
    ligaments, with dislocation of the
    acromioclavicular joint and elevation of the
    distal clavicle.

9
Scapula
  • 5 to 7 percent of all shoulder-girdle fractures
  • Tx conservative

10
Glenohumeral Joint
  • The most frequently dislocated major joint,
    accounting for 40 percent of all dislocations.
  • Classified as anterior (95 percent), posterior (4
    percent) and, rarely, inferior or superior.
  • Associated injuries include posterior glenoid rim
    fractures, lesser tuberosity avulsions and
    subscapularis tendon detachment

Case 2

  • Dx muscle strain
  • Tx analgesic agent arm sling

12
Elbow
  • Routine views of the elbow include at least the
    AP and lateral views
  • Special attention to the contour of the radial
    head and the fat pads

13
  • Ossification centers in region of elbow.
  • Capitellum,3-6m
  • Radial head
  • Medial epicondyle,5-7y/o
  • Trochlea,9-10y/0
  • Lateral epicondyle,9-13y/o

14
Radial Head Subluxation
  • 20 of upper extremity in- juries in children.
  • 1 to 3 years are most often affected, ( 6 months
    to 15 y/o )
  • Girls are somewhat more commonly afflicted than
    boys.
  • This injury is called nursemaids elbow or pulled
    elbow because it results from a sudden
    longitudinal pull on the forearm while the
    childs arm is in pronation (as when a child is
    helped up onto a curb). Stretching of the annular
    ligament allows fibers to slip between the
    capitellum and the head of the radius, resulting
    in an inability of the child to supinate the arm.
  • X-ray studies are not required

15
Treatment
16
Wrist hand
17
Incomplete Fracture
  • Torus ( Buckle ) fracture plastic deformity
  • Greenstick fracture cortex disruption

18
Part II. The Lower Extremity
19
Ottawa Ankle Rules (OAR)
  • 1.The patient is unable to bear weight for at
    least four steps immediately after the injury and
    at the time of evaluation
  • 2.Bone tenderness is present at the posterior
    edge of the distal 6 cm or the tip of either
    malleolus. take ankle x-ray.
  • 3.Bone tenderness is present at the navicular or
    the base of the fifth metatarsal. take foot
    x-ray
