What is a gliding joint?
This term for the attachment site of a muscle on the movable bone in a joint?
What is insertion
What best describes a delayed union in fracture healing?
What is The healing process takes longer than expected due to factors like osteoporosis, distraction, or inadequate immobilization
This method is commonly used to immobilize a fracture, and when combined with closed reduction, it helps prevent complications like distraction and malalignment.
What is a cast?
These tests are used to assess ligament stability in the knee, with the Lachman test focusing on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the drawer test evaluating both ACL and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) integrity.
What are the Lachman and drawer tests?
This term used to describe the area where two bones meet to form a joint?
What is Articulation
This condition occurs when bone tissue dies due to the loss of blood supply, often caused by trauma, steroid use, or disease.
What is avascular necrosis?
This term describes a failure of fractured bone ends to unite, often due to infection or movement at the fracture site.
What is nonunion?
This cart, commonly found in surgery departments, contains all necessary supplies for cast application, including Webril, stockinette, and plaster casting material.
What is a cast cart?
This test is used to assess ligament stability in the shoulder, specifically checking for instability by pulling downward on the arm and observing any gap or "sulcus" at the shoulder joint.
What is the Sulcus test?
This type of joint allows movement in only one plane, similar to the motion of a door hinge
What is a hinge joint
A type of fracture is where the broken bone pierces the skin, increasing the risk of infection and soft tissue injury
What is Compound Fracture
This condition occurs when swelling within a confined fascial compartment leads to ischemia, necrosis, and irreversible loss of muscle function if untreated.
What is compartment syndrome?
When applying this, flat sheets of casting material are used, and the surgeon specifies the number of layers and length. Heavy-duty scissors are used for cutting, and the circulator wets the material.
What is a splint?
This is the best approach for students learning orthopedic instruments: begin by mastering this set that includes instruments unique to orthopedic surgery before advancing to specialty sets used in complex procedures.
What is learning the basic orthopedic instrument set?
A type of joint allows only rotational movement around a central axis?
What is a pivot joint
Separation of bone fragments to the point where they no longer make contact
What is the term distraction
In the forearm and leg, these structures are created by fascia and skin enclosing bones, muscles, and nerves.
What are compartments?
This imaging technique is commonly used in orthopedic surgery, including fracture repair and reduction, and includes standard X-rays with sterile cassette covers and fluoroscopy.
What is radiography?
This specialty focuses on female health after the onset of menstruation, with obstetricians caring for pregnant patients and gynecologists focusing on the reproductive system and related non-pregnancy issues.
What is obstetric and gynecologic surgery?
This type of joint allows movement in multiple planes and has articulating surfaces with both concave and convex regions, such as the shoulder and hip joints.
What is a saddle joint
What is a potential cause of avascular necrosis?
What is Disruption of blood supply to bone due to trauma, steroid use, or disease
This type of injury, often seen with phalangeal fractures, involves tissue being forcibly detached; serious complications can include bladder rupture or lung collapse from pelvic or rib fractures.
What is an avulsion?
This term refers to the degree to which a joint can be moved in any range, including abduction, flexion, extension, and dorsiflexion.
What is range of motion (ROM)?
This term refers to harmful or unwarranted physical contact with a person, including contact without proper consent, while the other refers to the fear of such contact without physical action.
