tendons/ligaments/joints
medial epicondylitis most common affects a combination of these 3 tendons:
pronator teres, Flexor Carpi Radialis (FCR), Palmaris Longus
This condition is caused by continual wrist extension and may be see with rotator cuff injuries due to the fact that you may overextend the wrist to compensate for shoulder weakness.
lateral epicondylitis
a fracture from osteoperosis is an example what type of fracture?
bone spurs and tears of the RC tendons are seen in which stage of neers classifications of impingement
stage 3
extreme pain as a result of injury to soft tissue is part of what condition?
CRPS type 1.
(type 2 is nerve injury)
a hallmark of RA is part of stage 4 of the classifications of joint changes. What is the hallmark
Hint: relates to the MCP
MCP ulnar drift: MCP's straight, and fingers bend to ulnar side
Abnormal pain processing and an increase in pain perception which reduces sleep, mood and cognition is the etiology of which condition?
fibromyalgia
colles fracture is a fracture of the distal radius and likely includes engagement of which two carpal bones
scaphoid and lunate
1. pink and warm joints
2. stiffness only in the morning
Stage 2: subacute
a burn that causes loss of all of the epidermis AND dermis is classified as what type of burn?
full thickness (3rd degree)
What is an arthroplasty? What is it used to treat?
what is the etiology of mallet finger ?
impact to the tip of the fingering causing a rupture at the end of the EDC at the DIP
bone healing time in adults is generally how many weeks?
12- 18
Which type of Osteogenisis Imperfecta is categorized by:
-mild to moderate bone fragility
-more severe joint hyperextensibility
-hearing loss in adulthood
-assistive devices for ambulation
-incidence of fractures decreases with age
Type IV.
Clue here: "More severe"
True or false: we want to position our clients in a position of contracture
false! position opposite contracture
What symptoms are present at the PIP and DIP in Boutteneire (idk how to spell this) deformity
PIP- flexion
DIP- hyperextension
Name the condition with the following etiology:
narrowing of the intervertebral foramen → decreases the space where the spain nerve exits or enters the spine → causes nerve compression (similar to central cord syndrome)
spinal stenosis
name one complication of the healing process of fractures
Malunion: bone does not line up properly (happens a lot with clavicle)
Delayed union: takes longer to heal than expected
Non-union: doesn’t reconnect at all
Pseudo arthrosis: don’t heal because of comorbidity that affects healing (I.e., smoking)
Associated soft tissue injury
Complications secondary to treatment
Infection
Skin ulceration
Growth disturbances
Post traumatic generative arthritis
in what stage of pressure ulcer formation has the infection gotten to, but not yet broken through the fascia ?
stage 3: full thickness loss
this phase of burn recovery concludes with restoration of capillary permeability
emergent phase
What phase of tendon healing is the "dangerous dip time" part of? what does it mean?
2. Dangerous dip time: the strength of the repair temporarily weakens the tendon after the inflammation up until 21 days.
which condition is caused by Improper function of the peripheral C-fiber nerve fibers that carry pain messages to the brain?
CRPS
this type of fracture occurs when when a bone bends and cracks, instead of breaking completely into separate pieces (incomplete).
greenstick
place the stages of bone healing in order from 1- 5 (*bonus points if you can name which phase the cast is normally removed*)
cellular proliferation/inflammation; hematoma formation; consolidation/remodeling; ossification/hard bone; callus formation/soft bone
1. hematoma formation
2. cellular proliferation/inflammation
3. callus formation/soft bone
4. ossification/hard bone
5. consolidation/remodeling
a disarticulation amputation means that the amputation occurs where?
right through a joint
