Management of Lower Extremity Injuries in the Skeletally Immature Patient

Management of Lower Extremity Injuries in the Skeletally Immature Patient is organized by AdvantageCEUs com.

Description:
Last year, emergency rooms across the country reported 11.7 million pediatric injuries. Orthopedic lower extremity injuries accounted for approximately 15% of those injuries. Do you treat a large number of pediatric lower extremity injuries or are you just a parent (or a loving aunt/uncle/grandparent/friend) who would like to know more? Trevor Winnegge, PT, DPT, MS, OCS, CSCS, will educate you about lower extremity injuries ranging from Legg-Calve Perthes Disease to Tibial Spine Avulsion Fracture to Severs Disease. In this course, Dr. Winnegge will cover:

• A review of pediatric bone anatomy
• Identify the Salter-Harris fracture classification system
• Differentiate between multiple pediatric-specific LE injuries
• Recognize the medical/surgical management of these injuries
• Identify a rehabilitation protocol for each injury

Course Goals and Objectives:
At the completion of this course, participants should be able to:

1. Recognize pediatric bone anatomy and the Salter-Harris Fracture Classification
2. Differentiate between Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis and Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease and their subsequent risk factors, imaging, surgical interventions, management, rehabilitation, and complications.
3. Recognize Septic Arthritis in pediatrics, the anatomy of the fracture, and treatment
4. Identify the subjective history of Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI), the symptoms, examination, and treatments
5. Differentiate between Tibial Spine Avulsion Fractures and ACL Tears-clinical presentation, imaging, treatment, and management
6. Recognize the types of surgical intervention for a pediatric ACL tear, auto vs allograft, reinjury rate and rehabilitation considerations
7. Identify the presentation of a Trampoline Fracture and the subsequent complications
8. Differentiate between Osgood-Schlatter Disease and Sinding-Larsen-Johansson Disease, clinical presentation, imaging, treatment, and management
9. Identify Toddler’s Fracture, Triplane Transitional Ankle Fractures, Sever’s Disease, Kohler disease and Freiberg’s Disease, clinical presentation, imaging, treatment and management
10. Recognize Osteosarcoma through a case study: signs/symptoms, prognosis, 2nd opinion, treatment, surgery, and rehabilitation
