1 Elbow: Don't be a FOOL Kiery Braithwaite, MD SPR 2017 General Pediatric Radiology Categorical Course: Musculoskeletal May 16, 2017 SAM 1. Which pediatric elbow fracture is most commonly seen in the absence of a joint effusion? A. Supracondylar B. Lateral condyle C. Radial neck D. Olecranon In the absence of a joint effusion, the two most common pediatric fractures identified include radial neck and medial epicondyle fractures. The radial neck is partly extra-articular and the medial epicondyle is extra-articular. Thus, effusions are not always seen unless there are additional fractures and/or associated dislocation. Answer A is incorrect. Explanation: Supracondylar factures are typically associated with a joint effusion. Answer B is incorrect. Explanation: Lateral condylar factures are typically associated with a joint effusion. Answer D is incorrect. Explanation: Olecranon fractures are typically associated with a joint effusion. 1. Emery, Kathleen H., et al. "Pediatric elbow fractures: a new angle on an old topic." Pediatric radiology 46.1 (2016): John, Susan D., et al. "Improving detection of pediatric elbow fractures by understanding their mechanics." Radiographics 16.6 (1996): Which of the following is true regarding supracondylar fractures? A. In a 2014 study by Bisset & Crowe, the least commonly missed elbow fracture by pediatric radiologists was a supracondylar fracture. B. The anterior humeral line normally passes through the anterior 1/3 of the capitellum in the majority of children. C. Supracondylar fractures are the second most common pediatric elbow fractures. D. The anterior humeral line may not be as accurate in younger children. The anterior humeral line may not be as accurate in younger children. In children < 5 years old, the anterior humeral line may normally intersect either the anterior or middle 1/3 of the capitellum.

2 Answer A is incorrect. Explanation: In a 2014 study by Bisset & Crowe, the most commonly missed elbow fracture by pediatric radiologists was a supracondylar fracture Answer B is incorrect. Explanation: The anterior humeral line normally passes through the middle 1/3 of the capitellum in the majority of normal children. Answer C is incorrect. Explanation: Supracondylar fractures are the most common pediatric elbow fracture. 1. Bisset, George S., and James Crowe.

In cases of Monteggia fracture-dislocation which is the most frequently missed fracture? A. Angulated fracture proximal ulna B. Angulated fracture of the radius C. Angulated fractures of both bones D. Bowing fracture of the ulna Answers A, B and C are incorrect. Angulated fractures are not missed 1. Bisset GS 3rd, Crowe JE.

Osteochondral lesion of the talus D. Calcaneal cyst

3 Answer A is incorrect. Explanation: C sign & talar beak. Answer B is incorrect. Explanation: Anteater nose sign & talar beak. Answer D is incorrect.

Greulich and Pyle method B. Tanner-Whitehouse method C. Hemi-skeleton method D. BoneXpert method Hemi-skeleton methods are more accurate than hand-based methods in children under 3 years. Answer A is incorrect. Explanation: The Greulich and Pyle method is less reliable in children under 3 because of lack of and variability in ossification centers of the hand. Answer B is incorrect. Explanation: The Tanner-Whitehouse method, also based on hand radiographs, is not reliable in children under 3 years of age for the same reason. Answer C is incorrect. Explanation: BoneXpert is an automated bone age assessment tool, based on the Tanner- Whitehouse method. 1. Breen MA, Tsai A, Stamm A, Kleinman PK.

Tanner-Whitehouse method C. Hemi-skeleton method D. BoneXpert method Correct Answer: B

4 Answer A is incorrect. Explanation: The Greulich and Pyle method is based on a visual comparison to standard radiographs of the hand and wrist. Answer C is incorrect. Explanation: The hemi-skeleton method is based on summing the ossification centers of the left hemiskeleton in young children. Answer D is incorrect. Explanation: BoneXpert is an automated bone age assessment tool, based on the Tanner-Whitehouse method, that requires no manual data entry. 1. Tanner JM, Healy MJR, Goldstein H, Cameron N.

Quantitative computed tomography densitometry (QCT)? A. Is a 2-Dimentional technique B. Quantifies areal BMD C. Measures cortical and trabecular compartments separately D. Reported in g/cm2 QCT measures cortical and trabecular compartments separately. Answer A is incorrect. Explanation: QCT is a 3-Dimentional technique. Answer B is incorrect. Explanation: QCT measures true volumetric BMD. Answer D is incorrect. Explanation: Reported in g/cm3 1. JE. Adams et al.

Relatively high radiation exposure B. 3-Dimensional measurement C. Not affected by soft-tissue composition or body fat D. Does not account for growth related variations Explanation: DXA does not account for growth related variations, this is a limitation in the pediatric population, where bones are growing and changing in shape. Answer A is incorrect. Explanation: DXA has low radiation exposure. Answer B is incorrect. Explanation: DXA is a 2- dimentional, areal measurement. Answer C is incorrect. Explanation: Soft tissues and fat affect DXA results.

Regarding Dual Xray Absorptiometry: A. The diagnosis of osteoporosis can be made based on the DXA result alone. B. The T score is reported in pediatric DXA as a measure of the bone density loss since birth. C. DXA is a volumetric density measurement. D. The DXA-derived bone mineral density (BMD) is based on the two-dimensional projected area of a three-dimensional structure. The DXA-derived bone mineral density (BMD) is based on the two-dimensional projected area of a three-dimensional structure. Answer A is incorrect. Explanation: The diagnosis must take into account other factors including normative databases, age, gender, height, etc. Answer B is incorrect. Explanation: The T score is used in adults as a measure of bone loss since adulthood and is not applicable to pediatric patients. Answer C is incorrect. Explanation: DXA is a two dimensional representation of a three dimensional structure and is therefore an areal measurement rather than a true volumetric measure. 1. Binkovitz, Pediatr Radiol Jan; 37(1): Factors that influence BMD for in the development of normative pediatric datasets include age, gender, ethnicity and physiologic maturity. The most common causes for misdiagnosis include all BUT: A. Use of T-scores B. Inappropriate normative datasets C. Inattention to short stature D. Scoliosis Answer A is incorrect. Explanation: T scores compare bone loss from adulthood and should not be used in pediatrics. The Z score compares BMD to age matched controls. Answer B is incorrect. Explanation: Age matched controls and normative data matched to the patient is very important for accurate measurements. Answer C is incorrect. Explanation: Height should be recorded for all patients and accounted for in the reporting. 1. Binkovitz, Pediatr Radiol Jan; 37(1):

The median ridge B. The trochlear floor C. The crossing line D. The terminal sulcus Correct Answer: B Answer A is incorrect. Explanation: The median ridge is the ventral margin of the medial femoral condyle. Answer C is incorrect. Explanation: The crossing line occurs when the trochlear floor intersects the ventral margin of the femoral condyle. Answer D is incorrect. Explanation: The terminal sulcus is the normal contour indentation of the lateral femoral condyle. 1. RadSource MRI Web Clinic- June Trochlear Dysplasia. Steven S.
