Adhere to basic principles Order relevant investigations If normal/fails to resolve, then think laterally If unsure then please don’t hesitate to refer


Jordan et al. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2010, 11:144.

Extensive and varied musculoskeletal workload in primary care

1:7 consultations Back Knee Hip Foot


Problems Atypical or uncommon presentations Recent injury but Xray ‘No fracture’ Failed analgesics Failed mother nature (ie time) Failed physio


History Examination Special Tests DDx Investigations Treatment +/- Referral


Hip – Case 1• 76 yr old lady

• Fall in garden, manages to walk to kitchen with hip pain

• Not resolving 2 days later so ED with son

• SHO Hip Xray ‘No fracture’ and DC with analgesics/crutches

• Struggles to walk and 2 weeks later stumbles

• Severe Hip pain and unable WB


ED Xray - #NOF


12 yr old boy Overweight but enjoys football Fell 2 months ago and has mild left knee pain

since Mum thinks malingering to get off school


Overweight Limp Knee Generally painful to movement


Investigations


• Review 2 weeks later as not settling

• Limp

• Knee movement remains painful

• Hip – loss internal rotation and flexion


Immediate referral to Orthopaedic on call registrar

Think of siblings


most common disorder adolescent hips (1:10,000) more common

males (3:2) African Americans obese children (single greatest risk factor) during period of rapid growth bilateral up to 50%

average age is 13 yrs boys 12 yrs girls associated with puberty


Symptoms usually present for weeks - months Groin/thigh pain most common can present as knee pain (15-23%) patients prefer to sit in a chair with affected leg crossed

over the other Physical exam

externally rotated gait or Trendelenburg gait obligatory external rotation during passive flexion of hip loss of hip internal rotation, abduction, and flexion externally rotated foot progression angle


30 yr old footballer tackled awkwardly Sunday league game. Painful right knee.

GP Mon am Able WB but limping Knee - Difficult Ex

Mild effusion Tender generally medially Flexion to 70 degrees


Meniscal? MCL? ACL? #?


X-ray is only required for knee injury patients with any of these findings: age 55 or over isolated tenderness of the patella tenderness at the head of the fibula inability to flex to 90 degrees inability to weight bear both immediately and in your

surgery (4 steps - unable to transfer weight twice onto each lower limb regardless of limping)


Knee less swollen/painful Giving way on occasion Tends to hold in flexion Ex

Springy block to full extension


50 year old man Jumped off chair and felt immediate knee pain Fail settle over next 3 days Otherwise fit and well Walks in with strange gait Ex

Able Full extension but internally rotates leg

?

•Tenderness Posterior border lower 6 cm of malleoli•Tenderness Base 5th Metatarsal•Tenderness Navicular•Unable to fully weight bear


Functional RICE CAM walker / Beckham boot Weight bearing as tolerated

Cast Prolonged casting inferior to functional, but may be

indicated for 1st few weeks Acute surgical repair

Most studies show no better, and functional treatment has faster recovery, less morbidity and more cost effective (Kannus 1992)

No difference in outcome between delayed and acute repairs (Cass 1985)

www.CambridgeFractureClinic.co.uk


History Pop or snapping feeling Sudden onset Difficulty walking

Examination Reduced calf squeeze test Pain or gap Weakness of ankle plantar flexion


Same day referral 1/5 of cases are missed. More common in

elderly Delay in diagnosis of more than 4 weeks

deemed ‘chronic’ requiring operative intervention

If early diagnosis then most can be treated non-operatively with good outcome
