Ortho Terms
Injury to a ligament caused by stretching or tearing
Sprain
Created tension on one side of the tissue and compression on the other
Bending
The ability of tissue to return to its original shape.
Elasticity
Inflammation of a tendon due to overuse or injury
Tendonitis
Involved twisting force applied to a structure.
Torsion
Failure Point
Mechanism of Injury (MOI)
Tension
Involves pulling or stretching force that elongates the tissue
Tissue undergoes permanent deformation after exceeding the yield point.
Plasticity
Effusion
A transverse femur Fx
Bending
Toe Region
Carbon Fibers Unfurl
Plastic Region
Strain goes beyond yeild point and elastic recoil diminishes.
Permanent change in tissue length
Ecchymosis
Discoloration of the skin due to brusing .
When two opposing forces act parallel to the tissue, causing it to slide in opposite directions.
Elastic Region
Collagen fibers stretch with 100% recoil.
Failure Point
Tissue is completely disrupted
