Chapter 7, Problem 5CCS
45-Year-Old Female with Dislocated Hip
Kayla Tanner, a 45-year-old mother of four, was involved in a car accident. When emergency responders arrived on the scene and extracted her from the car, they found that her right thigh appeared shorter than her left thigh. They also noticed that even slight hip movement caused considerable pain. Suspecting a hip dislocation, they stabilized and transported her.
In the emergency department, doctors discovered a decreased ability to sense light touch in her right foot, and she was unable to move her toes or ankle. Dislocation of her right hip was confirmed by X ray. Mrs. Tanner was sedated to relax the muscles around the hip. and then doctors placed her in the supine position and performed a closed reduction (“popped” the femur back in place).
5. NCLEX-STYLE Mrs. Tanner is discussing her injury with you during recovery. Which of her remarks indicate a need for additional education about her injury?
a.“I dislocated my shoulder twice. I guess this hip injury is just the same sort of thing–I’m surprised it hasn’t happened before. I’m sort of nervous that it could just slip out any time!”
b.“I didn’t realize that so many of the hip bones were fused together.”
c.“The bottom of my spinal column is really different from the top!”
d.“When you look at how tight those connections are, it’s easy to see why I can’t move my leg around at the hip the way I move my arm around at the shoulder.”

Physical examination shows deep gluteal tenderness. An MRI of the injured area today shows inflammation deep to the gluteus maximus in the area of the piriformis muscle. The physician suspects that there is compression of the common fibular (peroneal) branch of the sciatic nerve as it pierces the muscle. Which of the following additional findings is most likely on examination of this patient?
A) Loss of cutaneous sensation to the plantar foot
B) Loss of cutaneous sensation to the posterior thigh
C) Loss of eversion of the foot
D) Loss of inversion of the foot

- An 18-year-old high school football player suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the state playoffs. After undergoing repair, he found it difficult to ambulate with the knee brace. Weighing close to 140 kg (approximately 300 lbs) the athlete found it difficult to stand and balance on one leg. His mother was unable to support him by herself. After 1 week, the young man began to have increased pain and swelling in the calf of his affected leg. In the middle of the night, the teen called out to his mother, complaining of a shortness of breath and unexplained anxiety. His mother called 9-1-1, and he was taken to a local hospital. In the emergency department, he was diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis and a pulmonary embolism. Oxygen and low-molecular-weight heparin were administered, and the young man was admitted to the intensive care unit. As a result of the thrombus lodging in the pulmonary circulation, the sympathetic nervous system is activated.

It is most severe between her shoulder blades and is aggravated by movement, especially bending forward; although any movement above the waist seems to aggravate it somewhat. She is unable to stand completely upright. The pain has responded a bit to OTC (over the counter) pain medication she takes for her arthritis, but it is still quite severe and does not appear to be improving at all. Physical examination of the patient confirms the symptoms she described. It also demonstrates that the OA (osteoarthritis) in her left hip has progressed. The patient states that her arthritis medication does not appear to be as effective as it used to be and she has had to cut back on many of her activities. The physician notes on checking her record that she has been a smoker since her teenage years and she has gradually been losing height at each of…arrow_forward

When a friend distracts his attention, he runs head-on into a planter and is thrown over the planter box onto the concrete, landing on his left side. He immediately experiences pain in his left side, left wrist, and abdomen. His left wrist is angulated and obviously broken.A head-to-toe assessment demonstrates small, superficial scrapes on the patient's forehead and left cheek. His facial structures appear to be intact. Neurologically, he is normal, with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 14. He has no complaints of shortness of breath, and his chest wall shows no obvious external injury. An x-ray of his left wrist shows a comminuted fracture of his left radius and ulna.Angus is taken to the operating room for orthopaedic repair of his left wrist.

No neck stiffness, Kernig's sign (-), Brudzinski's sign (-), Babinski's sign (-). All joints had no swollen and tenderness. The outpatient physician then ordered blood routine and peripheral blood smear tests. To find out the reasons for the elbows pain, bilateral tibia, ulnar, femur and fibula films were taken. Blood routine test: WBC=7.2 x 109/L, RBC=3.1 x 109/L, BPC=64 x 109/L, Hb=90g/L, atypical cells 7%. Peripheral blood smear test: blast=18%, L=48%, N=31%. Bilateral tibia, ulnar, femur and fibula films: no obvious bone tissue damage in the bilateral ulnar, fibula, lower section of the tibia and the distal part of the femur. The outpatient physician suggested the parents to sign the consent form of bone marrow aspiration immediately and wished to proceed with the procedure as soon as possible to analyse the immune markers.
