Approach to an ulcer
• Basically it is divided into 3 steps. Inspection, palpation and focal examination.

Inspection
1) Size and shape
2) Number
3) Location
4) Margin (Healing, Inflammed, Fibrosed)
5) Edge (Sloping, punched, everted, undermined, everted, raised)
6) Floor (Granulation tissue, slough, discharge)
7) surrounding skins (inflammation, pigmentation, scars&puckering,
hypopigmentation)

Palpation
1) Surrounding skins (Temperature, tenderness)
2) Edge of the ulcer (soft: healing ulcer, firm: non healing, hard:malignant)
3) Floor of ulcer (Consistency, underlying structure)
4) Test the fixity (skin, muscle, bone)
.

• Focal examination
1) Lymph node
2) Arteries, venous circulation, nerves
3) Movement of neighboring joint
******Grading of ulcer (especially for ulcer foot)
Grade 0 — No ulcer in a high risk foot.
Grade 1 — Superficial ulcer involving the full skin thickness but not
underlying tissues
• Grade 2 — Deep ulcer, penetrating down to ligaments and
muscle, but no bone involvement or abscess formation
• Grade 3 — Deep ulcer with cellulitis or abscess formation, often
with osteomyelitis
• Grade 4 — Localized gangrene.

department (5m)

Question 13
29 years old Malay man involves in
MVA and brought to ED with GCS 9
(M5, E2,V2). Below is his hip x ray.
Outline your management to this
patient

Short case..
• c/o: 40 years old Malay lady presented with painful swelling
of right ring finger. please examine her.
1) Position
the most important for hand examination is to position
both hands correctly. put the hands on top of a pillow with
the patient in sitting position. ask the patient to abduct the
fingers as maximum as she can because from this position,
we can already detect any neurological disorder related to
the hands, specifically motor disorder.

• 2) Inspection (look)
inspection is divided into 2, towards the pathology (mass) itself, as well as
towards the hand as a whole. 1st, compare both hands, don't take too
much time doing this, just inspect surfacely because the examiner can be
annoyed if korang sibuk2 nak pegang2 ke, angkat2 ke, or give excessive
attention to the normal hand.
then, check for any signs of wasting or skin discoloration, or any obvious
changes related to the hand.
for the mass or swelling, inspect it just like you inspect any lump and
bump in surgery. do not forget to include the edge, border, size, site,
character of the mass (fungating, etc), surface, and any discharge noted.
for the site, describe precisely where is the origin of the mass. don't forget
to check fo any associated deformity, such as nail deformity or finger
deformity.

• 3) Palpation (feel)

begin with soft palpation, in order to detect
any tenderness associated with the mass,
xkesahlah at the mass itself or the area
surrounding the mass. then, don't forget to
check for circulatory status, i.e. CRT and pulse,
as well as the sensation whether it is intact or
not.

• 4) Movement (move)

for movement, just test for active movement
first and examine the ROM. assess the ROM of
all fingers of the hand, not just the affected
finger, because others can be affected too. for
example, ring finger share the same tendon
with the little finger, so, if one is affected, the
other might be affected too.

• 5) Ending

complete your examination by checking the
lymph node, other features of malignancy, or
any relevant examination related to your
differentials.

otoscopy should includes inspection of the external ear and pinna
INSPECT THE EXTERNAL MEATUS
--discharge,blood or pus
-masses
-on insertion of speculum inspect the canal
-skin

OTOSCOPY POSITION
pt should be positioned e the head flexed laterally away from the examiner
the external auditory canal has a bend which normally restricts the examiner,s view
the pinna of the ear to be examined is held firmly and gently pulled upwards and backwards to
straighten the canal using the hand not holding the otoscope
HOLDING THE INSTRUMENT
otoscope is held in the same hand as the ear being examined
the speculum should be as wide as possible to comforttably fit into the ear canal
holding the otoscope (like a pen) horizontally provides a secure cradle for the instrument
the curled fingers can rest against the cheek and the handle will not catch the shoulder (as it may if
held vertically)
