How does foot direction change with age?
Definition

- In-toeing when baby

- Straight when toddler

- Slight out-toeing when child

Term
What are the causes of in-toeing?
Definition

- Metatarsus adductus

- Excessive femoral anteversion

- Internal tibial torsion

Term
What is femoral torsion (version)?
Definition
The angular difference between the transcondylar axis of the femur and the axis of the femoral neck
Term
Torsional changes of femur during development
Definition

- Infant:  35º anteversion

- 9 yo:  21º anteversion

- Adult:  15º anteversion

Term
Torsional changes of tibia during development
Definition

- Infant:  15º internal tibial torsion

- 3 yo:  5º external tibial torsion

- Adult:  10º external tibial torsion

Term
What is the shaft-neck angle of the femur in the frontal plane in infants and adults?
Definition

- Infant:  150º

- Adult:  125º

Term
What is the shaft-neck angle of the femur in coxa valgus and coxa varus?
Definition

- Coxa valgus:  > 125º

- Coxa varus:  < 125º

Term
Femur-tibia angle in the frontal plane during development
Definition

- Infant:  Genu varus

- 18 months:  Straight

- 3-4 years:  Genu valgus

- 7 years:  Straight

Term
Acute symptoms of slipped capital femoral epiphysis
Definition

- From significant trauma

- Severe pain and ROM limitations

Term
Chronic symptoms of slipped capital femoral epiphysis
Definition

- Limping, diffuse pain

- Increasing loss of hip abduction, internal rotation

Term
Incidence of slipped capital femoral epiphysis
Definition

- 0.7 to 3.4/100,000

- 2:1 males to females

- Associated with hormomal changes at puberty (10-15 year range)

Term
What muscle development occurs at 5 weeks?
Definition

- Primitive muscle fibers

- Longitudinal myofilaments begin to appear

Term
What muscle development occurs at 9 weeks?
Definition

- More myofilaments

- Nuclei central

Term
What muscle development occurs at 12 weeks?
Definition

- Neuromuscular junction

- Muscle spindles

- Muscle contraction

Term
What muscle development occurs at birth?
Definition

- Most fibers formed (some splitting may occur during first year)

Term
What muscle development occurs after birth?
Definition

- Fibers become larger in diameter

- Fibers become longer by adding sarcomeres

Term
What limb development occurs at 28 days?
Definition

- Limb buds emerge

  • Derived from somatic mesoderm
  • Apical ectoderma ridge induces growth and development of limb
Term
What limb development occurs at 33 days?
Definition

- Differentiation of digits

Term

Definition

- Genetics

- Toxins (Thalidomide)

Term
What is meromelia?
Definition

- The absence of any part of a limb
