Function of meniscus :-
1-deepen the joint space
2-add stability
3-more mobilization of the joint is allowed
4-as cushion absorb shock.
*this condition mostly affect the athlets as twisting injury mostly in the posterior
part of the meniscus.
*menisci has poor vascularity.
Dx :-partial meniscal tear.
Mx :-
If mildconservative.
If severe (complete)arthroscopy&suturing.

Test:-apley compression destruction test(Mc murry test).
*If we did external rotation means we're examining the medial meniscus.

--Dx:-patellar fracture.
--Describe ?
Plane x ray ,no name,no date,no label,lateral view adult pt ,showing 3 segmented
fracture of the patella.
The influence of this fracture the pt can't extend the knee.

*patella functions:-
1-attachment of muscles
2-protection of knee joint
--Type of patellar fracture? Comminuted fracture.
--History or mechanism of fracture:-
1. Fall from Ht
2. Car accident.
**some people normally they have bipartite patella ,so always take two views to
exclude this .
--Signs :-
1-pain
2-swelling (hemarthrosis)
3-crepitus
4-bruising
5- examine the neurovascular bundle.
--How you can confirm clinically that this patient had such a problem?
Ask the pt to extend the knee , can he extend it?
--Complications:-
1-non union
2-malunion.

--Metaphyseal site of long bone is the common site for osteiomylites
development?why?
Because :-
1-most common site of trauma

2-tortousity of blood vessels stasis of bloodgrowth of M.O
3-paucity of WBCs.
*abscess will follow the infection as bone is NOT extensible.
Signs & symptoms?
Fever ,,dehydration,,fatigue ,, if child (relctant to feeding) ,if chronic infection
FTT.
Local RUBOR/DOLOR/FUNCTIONLESSIA/swelling/pain.
Investigations ?
**he explained about the pathogenesis.
Rx:-
1-supportive
2-ABS according to culture &sensitivity.
3-splintage
4-if abscessdrain .
Complications:-
1—chronic osteomyelitis
2-septic arthritis
3-septicemia.
4-deformity(FTT)

Others methods:-
1-traction(skin or skeletal)
2-cast splintage.
3-functional brace.
Dx:-left femoral fracture.
Mx:-take x-ray(according to role of 2).
Complications:-
1-compartment syndrome
2-neuropraxia
3-vessels compression.

Dx :-hand infection.

Describe :-
Swelling edema in the dorsum of the left hand
Why the edema not develops iin the palm?
As the skin of palm is not extensible, so the edema takes the least Resistance
way(the dorsum)

Name of the test:-adam forward bending test.
lateral flexion of the back bone=scoliosis
This is performed to(purpose of this test) :-
Differentiate between structural kyphosis(abnormality in the tissues itself) &
postural scoliosis(like pain induced kyphosis).
--Describe what you see clinically and in x-ray?
1-lateral tilting.
2-rotation.
3-rib deformity
