ok here is how i broke it down:
a) wrong because most cases would have some risk factor "old female ..."
b) "deltoid"
c) under pressure it can burst and frankly it is mentioned in FA as a very common cause.
D) i think it would need something like a posterior dislocation of hip.
e) would probsbly not cause neruo S $S
does some mind explaining why this isn't a tear in the sciatic nerve?
sugaplumIt is a very thick nerve, so I think it is hard to tear without physically cutting it. Also if it tore you would have tibial and common fibular nerve symptoms as well. You would see sensory numbness and tingling along the dermatome
also the mechanism of injury is focused on spine so a disc rupture is more likely +2019-06-26T03:09:55Z
Since the pain is radicular, a disc herniation is most likely.
charcot_bouchardWhy it cant be a lumbar vertebra fracture+2019-07-11T04:00:54Z
whoissaad@charcot The patient is young and doesn't have any risk factors for weak bones. Also, disc herniation is a common problem in the young. The disc gets fibrosed and stiff in the elderly so they have less chance for disc herniation.
So basically age was the key to answering this question.+2019-08-16T10:25:48Z
