Chiro Boards Coaching

If it’s a pediatric fracture, you better know your SALTER.
This system classifies growth plate injuries — and boards expect you to know which part is fractured and which has the worst prognosis.
🧠 Mnemonic: S.A.L.T.E.R.

Type I: Straight
Type II: Above → Most common
Type V: ERasure → Worst prognosis
📌 Buzzword: “Crushed physis” = Type V

Bite → Brain → Buzzword 💉
When rabies strikes, the virus moves retrograde to the hippocampus, leaving behind Negri bodies — eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions.
📌 Boards love to use phrases like:
“Patient with hydrophobia, agitation, and pink cytoplasmic inclusions in neurons.”
That’s rabies, and they want you to say: Negri bodies.

Struggling to identify this viral skin lesion on boards?
If you see pearly, umbilicated papules, your brain should scream POXVIRUS.
These appear in kids, immunocompromised patients, and sexually active adults — and NBCE loves to show them.

Before the measles rash comes… the mouth speaks first!
Those tiny white-blue dots you see on the buccal mucosa? They're Koplik spots — the first sign of rubeola (measles).
🔑 Memorize this:
4 C’s = Cough, Coryza, Conjunctivitis… and Koplik.
📌 Buzzword: “Enanthem before rash” = classic board clue.

🦴 Hip Fractures 101: What You Need to Know! 🦴

Ever wondered about the different types of hip fractures and why they matter? 👀 Dive into these key points to get the breakdown on each type, along with risks and management tips. Trust me, this info is gold if you’re prepping for exams or want to level up your clinical knowledge!

🔹 Intracapsular Fractures:

Capital: Located at the femoral head.
⚠️ Risk: High chance of avascular necrosis due to limited blood flow.
🩺 Treatment: Often requires an orthopedic surgeon for joint replacement to prevent bone death.

Subcapital: Just below the femoral head.
⚠️ Risk: Known for poor healing and nonunion.
🩺 Treatment: A must for an orthopedic consult—usually needs fixation or replacement.

Transcervical: Along the femoral neck.
⚠️ Risk: Avascular necrosis and delayed healing are common.
🩺 Treatment: Often requires surgery; consult with an orthopedic specialist for options.

Basicervical: At the neck base.
⚠️ Risk: Better blood supply, but close to critical vessels. 🩺 Treatment: Stabilization with screws or plates by an orthopedic team.

🔹 Extracapsular Fractures:

Intertrochanteric: Across the trochanteric region.
⚠️ Risk: Good blood supply but prone to alignment issues due to muscle forces.
🩺 Treatment: Usually treated with a rod or nail; orthopedic consult recommended.

Subtrochanteric: Below the lesser trochanter.
⚠️ Risk: High-stress area prone to delayed healing and "pseudo-joint" formation.
🩺 Treatment: Needs fixation by an orthopedic surgeon; physical therapy is crucial for recovery.

🔥 PRO TIP: Each fracture requires a specific approach for optimal recovery. Knowing these details can give you a major edge in exams and in the clinic!
