Identify and describe this fracture.[img]http://images.radiopaedia.org/images/543612/370fe800d291599e7c47edd30df793.jpg[/img]
Epiphyseal fracture? Occurs at the site of the epiphyseal plate (in children) because of its relative weakness compared to ligaments and joint connective tissues when a strong load is applied to a long bone. More specifically a Salter-Harris type I fracture.
How'd I do?
Couldn't you argue that the fracture is a greenstick fracture as well?
Whoops upon reconsideration yeah its definitely greenstick... I just saw the separation at the epiphysis and thought Salter-Harris type 1 but I guess that's just a normal plate there.

Both of those might be acceptable, but there is a more accurate answer.

Were you looking for torus/buckle fracture?

Hmm, now that I think about it, I agree with Putipre. The fracture is incomplete, involving a buldging of the cortex and is located on the concave surface of the bone.

Correct! Your turn.

Awesome. Let's talk about muscles for a bit.
1. What is the difference between annulospiral endings and flower spray endings? What are they in the first place?
2. What is the most common type of adult dystrophy and what does it entail?
3. What is a Charley's Horse?

1. Annulospiral endings communicate change in length and velocity, while flower spray endings communicate change in length only. The two are muscle intrafusal fibers. (Gee, I need to review this)
2. Myotonic, stiff or spasmic muscles after use, autorecessive from ZFN9 gene
3. Prolonged calf muscle spasm causing pain

1 and 3 are right, and technically 2 is right too but could you be any more specific? Go ahead and ask a question though!

1. Describe two types of autoimmune myositis
2. Describe the most common type of poliomyelitis
Droopy eyelids, slack jaw, weakened pharynx, weakened chest muscles, spasms after muscle use worsened by cold, cataracts

I was looking for DM1 (or Steinert's disease) but that works too. 1. Dermatomyositis and Inclusion-body myositis. The former presents itself with a skin rash and weakness as a result of muscle inflammation, beginning in the hip, neck, or upper back regions. The latter is characterized by inflammation of quadriceps and lower leg muscles that results in difficulty walking, and eventually spreads.
2. The disease classification stuff is always a little iffy for me but are you just looking for sub-clinical poliomyelitis? That would be a fever, vomiting, sore throat, malaise lasting for a few days without damage to the central nervous system.
Go ahead and ask a question though!
