Chen
Use this worksheet to organize your thoughts before developing a differential diagnosis list.
1.
Indicate key symptoms (
Sx
) you have identified from the history. Start with the patient's reason(s) for the
encounter and add additional symptoms obtained from further questioning.
2.
Characterize the attributes of each symptom using
"OLDCARTS"
. Capture the details in the appropriate
column and row.
3.
Review your findings and consider possible diagnoses that may correlate with these symptoms.
(Remember to consider the patient's age and risk factors.) Use your ideas to help guide your physical
examination in the next section of the case.

Problem Statement by Tonya London-Simpson on case
Andrew Chen
Andrew Chen is a 14-year-old male who presents to the clinic with his father complaining of right ankle pain and
swelling. He was playing in a basketball game last night when he attempted a layup, stepped on a fellow player's
foot, and fell. Subsequently, a domino effect occurred with other players falling on his right foot. He was wrapped
but took the ACE wrap off to shower last night and forgot to put it back on. He did, however, ice and elevate his leg.
The physical exam shows bruising and tenderness over the right medial malleolus and tenderness at the distal
fibula/fibula junction. The active and passive range of motion is decreased on the right ankle. Dorsalis pedis pulses
are symmetrical bilaterally.

Management Plan by Tonya London-Simpson on case Andrew
Chen
Primary Diagnosis with ICD Code and Rationale:
Salter-Harris Type 2 Fracture - right ankle, S89.321A
+ ankle X-ray M25.771
The patient is a 14-year-old male who presents with his father with complaints of pain, swelling on his right ankle,
and an inability to bear weight on his right foot. He was playing in a basketball game when he went for a layup,
stepped back on another player's foot, and fell. His fall created a domino effect, resulting in other players falling on
his right foot. He went home, iced, and elevated his ankle. However, when he took a shower, he removed the ACE
wrap and forgot to put it back on. He has 10/10 pain when moving and now when resting. He took Ibuprofen last
night and this morning for pain relief.
Guidelines:
According to Stead et al. (2022), only children can present with physeal fractures due to the lack of growth plate
fusion. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, ankle fractures are children's third most common physeal
fractures (Moseley et al., 2022). The Salter-Harris classification system is an essential guideline for classifying and
understanding these types of fractures. A Salter-Harris fracture can occur in any pediatric bone with a growth plate
(Corsino et al., 2021). There are five types of Salter-Harris fractures, with type 1 having the least significant on
bone growth and type V having the highest. Type II fractures that do not involve epiphysis breakage account for 40
% of distal tibia fractures (Margalit et al., 2020). According to Tarantino (2021), type II fractures occur most often in
males and are most likely to cause bone deformity or growth arrest. Margalit et al. (2020) state distal physis
contributes 50 % towards the growth of the tibia, and injuries result in premature physeal closure (PPC) and angular
deformity. Symptoms include bone deformity, limited range of motion, inability to bear weight on the affected limb,
pain, and swelling around the end of the affected bone (Tarantino, 2021).
Differential diagnosis
Sprain of the right ankle, S93.401A
Melanson & Shuman (2021), ankle sprains are the most commonly seen sprains in primary care, sport medicines
practices, and emergency rooms. The ankle is "sprained" when rolled or twisted unusually and is common in
children, especially those that play sports (Melanson & Shuman, 2021). Ligaments that help stabilize the joints
stretches, or tears occur with swelling, tenderness, bruising, pain, and stiffness, all sprain symptoms. This is a
probable diagnosis but was ruled out by the right ankle x-ray.
Contusion of the right ankle, S90.01XA
A contusion results from a blunt force that ruptures capillaries under the skin while leaving the skin intact (Simon et
al., 2021). A contusion is also called a bruise. The most common symptoms are bruising, pain, and swelling at the
injury site. The bruising usually starts as red/purple and changes colors as it heals. According to Simon et al.
(2021), causes of a contusion include unusually landing on the ankle, twisting the ankle awkwardly, and crushing or
compressing the tissue in the ankle. For this patient, the inability to bear weight with the pain rule of this diagnosis.
Medications including OTC
Minocycline 100 mg po QD for acne
Benzoyl Peroxide Face Wash 5% topically QD
Salicylic Acid topically QD
Excused absence for the day
Physical activity restrictions include gym class for 4-6 weeks
Ibuprofen 200 mg - Take 2 tabs po PRN Q6-8 hours, pain and swelling
Immobilization with short leg splint until seen be ortho
RICE - rest, ice (for 10 minutes, 2 -3 times a day), compression (ACE wrap), and elevate above the heart when
resting
Education
Educate Andrew and his father about ankle fractures and possible treatments. He will need to be informed he will
need to be in a cast or splint for 4-6 weeks, so he will not play in the finals. Educate them that rest and
immobilization will be necessary. Educate on complications of cast or splint, including compartment syndrome, and
to go to the emergency room if this occurs. He should be taught to evaluate swelling and keep the cast clean and
dry. He should be taught to monitor numbness and tingling, worsening pain, and the feeling of muscle bulging—
non-weight bearing until follow-up with orthopedics. Crutches are to be used and teach him to use the axilla to bear
weight. Please let me know about pain management and follow-up if Ibuprofen does not control pain.
Additional test
CPT code 73600 - X-ray right ankle 2 views
None needed at this time
Referrals
Orthopedic surgeon for further evaluation of the fracture
Follow-up
Orthopedic surgeon for evaluation of the fracture
The father signed a medical release to send right ankle x-ray films to an orthopedic surgeon.
He will need to follow up with the clinic for the 15-year well-child visit and as needed.
Problem Statement
Andrew Chen is a 14-year-old male who presents with his father complaining of pain and swelling in his right ankle.
While playing basketball, he went for a layup, stepped on another player's feet, and fell. His fall created a domino
effect, and multiple players fell on his right foot. He cannot bear weight on the right foot due to pain. The physical
exam was significant for tenderness over the right medial malleolus and moderate tenderness at the distal
tibia/fibula junction. Dorsalis pedis pulses are symmetrical bilaterally. There is decreased active and passive range
of motion to the right ankle.
Social Determinants of Health
No concern for financial strain, food insecurity, housing instability, or financial stress is voiced or observed.
Psychologically, Andrew is at risk due to his wanting a college scholarship, and he can no longer play in the finals
that had college scouts in attendance. Andrew also seems to be an active male. With the fracture, he is no longer
able to as functional. With his age, he also identifies more with his friends, and having to rest will take him away
from the team. A support system that includes his peers will help to prevent depression.
Health promotion
Follow the RICE protocol, eat a well-balanced diet with no supplements, stay hydrated, educate about concussion
reporting and being forthcoming with any injury, discuss substance abuse and usage, including the legality,
discuss seatbelt usage and enforce its importance, educate about sexually transmitted infections, discuss
psychological stability and coping resources for instability, discuss social media overuse and the probability of it
leading to anxiety. Discuss having accommodations while using crutches, including help carrying books and having
extra time to get from class to class.
Risk factors: ankle injury - left, falls, skin irritation, bruising, soreness,
