Goals
By end of his course, students will have demonstrated the ability to:
• Demonstrate essential knowledge required to diagnose, initially manage and to know
when to immediately refer a patient with a condition that requires urgent specialist
management.
• Demonstrate knowledge to specify the symptoms, signs and immediate complications; to
outline the assessment and appropriate investigation and; to outline the immediate and
long term management of patients with common and community related orthopedic
conditions and musculoskeletal trauma.
• To take a relevant and a focused MSK history in the knowledge of the characteristics of
the major conditions of: bone; joints; connective tissue; nerve tissue and; muscle tissue.
• To perform a focused physical examination of major joints (shoulder, hip, knee, foot and
ankle, PN and spine)
• To order and to demonstrate an appropriate use and interpretation of appropriate
investigations including: radiography, CT/MRI/bone scan, MSK U/S, serology, synovial
fluid analysis, and EMG/NCS.
• The ability to perform a common non-surgical orthopaedic procedures like joint aspirations
and ability to apply and remove a cast.

Orthopedic Surgery = Not only Bone
Surgery
•Orthopedic specialty is the branch of medicine which manage
trauma and disease of Musculoskeletal system
•It includes : bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints,
peripheral nerves, vertebral column and spinal cord and its
nerves
Orthopedic Specialty
•Sub-Specialties in orthopedic include :
•General
•Pediatric Orthopedic
•Sport and Reconstructive Orthopedic
•Orthopedic Trauma
•Arthroplasty
•Spinal Surgery
•Foot and Ankle surgery
•Oncology
•Hand Surgery
•Upper Limb (New)
Red Flags
•Red Flags = Warning Symptom or Sign
•Red flags should always be looked for and remembered
•Presence of a red flag means the necessity for urgent or
different action/intervention
Examples of Red Flags
 Open Fractures : more serious and very high possibility of
infection and complications
 Complicated Fractures : fracture with injury to major blood
vessel, nerve or nearby structure
 Compartment Syndrome : increase in intra-compartment
pressure which endangers the blood circulation of the limb
and may affect nerve supply
 Cauda Equina Syndrome : compression of the nerve roots of
the Cauda Equina at the spinal canal which affect motor and
nerve supply to lower limbs and bladder (also saddle or peri-
anal area)
Examples of Red Flags
 Infection of Bone, Joint and Soft Tissue
Osteomyelitis : Infection of the bone
Septic Arthritis :Infection of the joint
Cellulitis :spreading Infection of the soft tissue
May cause septicemia or irreversible damage
. Multiple Trauma or Pelvic Injury: more than one fracture or injury
sustained at the same time
consider massive blood loss and associated injuries
. Acute joint Dislocations : requires urgent reduction or may cause serious
complications
Alignment terminology
Alignment Terminology: Cubitus Varus
Alignment terminology: Cubitus Valgus
Congenital or Acquired
•Acquired conditions include :
•Trauma
•Developmental
•Inflammation
•Infection
•Neuromuscular
•Degenerative
•Metabolic
•Tumor
Congenital Anomaly : Talipes Equino Varus
TEV
Traumatic Injuries
•Fractures
•Dislocations
•Soft tissues injuries: ligaments, tendons
•Nerve injuries
•Epiphyseal injuries
Fractures: Break in the continuity of bone
Dislocations
Complete
separation of the
articular surface
Distal to proximal
fragment
Anterior, Posterior, Inferior,
Superior
Dislocation with fracture of
the bone
Always X-Ray Joint
Above and Below
Fracture Dislocation
Force due to
Resisted Muscle
Action:-
“Avulsion”
Transverse pattern
Avulsion Fracture
Intra-articular Fractures
• If displaced ; should always be
treated by ORIF=
Open Reduction and Internal Fixation
failure to reduce and fix such fracture
results in loss of function, deformity
and early degenerative changes
Soft tissue injuries of the knee
Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury: MRI
(Developmental Dislocation of Hip) DDH
Developmental Foot deformity: Hallux
Valgus
Developmental: SCFE (Slipped Capital Femoral
Epiphysis)
Spinal Deformities: Kyphosis or Hyperlordosis
Spinal Deformity: Scoliosis
Degenerative Disorders
• Occur at any joint
• Can be primary or secondary
• Can lead to pain and/or deformity and/or loss of function
OA Hip
Osteoarthritis of Knee
Metabolic Disorders (Rickets): Bow Legs
Osteoporosis: Pathological Fracture
Osteoporosis: Colles fracture
Bone Tumor
Bone tumors
Neurological Evaluation : Sensory & Motor
Nerve Injury: Muscle wasting
Spinal Cord Injury
•Often results from fracture dislocation of spine
•When injury is at cervical spine it may result in Tetraplegia or
quad
•Injury at dorsal spine may result in Paraplegia
Neuromuscular disorder: Polio
Chronic Osteomyelitis : discharging sinus
Chronic Osteomyelitis : Sequestrum
Physiotherapy for Orthopedic Patients
•Physiotherapy is an important part of orthopedic and trauma
management
•It is used for : pain relief, prevention of stiffness, muscle
strengthening, mobilisation of stiff joint or spine, training non-
weight bearing or partial weight bearing
•Physiotherapy modalities include: heat, cold, exercise,
ultrasound, traction, electrical stimulation
Clinical Skill: Cast application
Clinical Skills: Knee Aspiration
