Name the bones make up the innominates?
What is the most common mechanism of injury (MOI) associated with many shoulder injuries?
FOOSH - fall on an outstretched hand
Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL / MCL)
What wrist position commonly leads to ligament sprains during a FOOSH injury?
extension
What is a skin lesion and how are they classified?
Skin lesion - abnormal change in skin
classified by its size and depth
What is the most common mechanism of injury for a quadriceps contusion and where does it typically occur?
Blunt trauma (i.e. compressive force / direct blow) to the anterolateral thigh
Name 2 common mechanism of injuries for acromioclavicular joint sprain
1. Direct blow to the point of the shoulder
2. FOOSH
Why must distal motor, sensory, and circulation (MSC) always be assessed following an elbow fracture?
Because fractures may compromise nerves and blood vessels
What is a wrist ganglion?
Abscess
What is a hip pointer and what structure is primarily involved?
Contusion of the iliac crest
Why is the middle third of the clavicle the most common fracture site?
Because it is the transition point where the clavicle changes shape and direction creating a structure weakness
What is the role of the olecranon bursa?
Name the two intrinsic muscle groups on the palmar aspect and be specific of their location
Thenar muscles: located a the base of the thumb
Hypothenar muscles: located at the base of the little finger
1. protects the body from pathogens
2. regulates body temperature
3. prevents fluid and nutrient loss
4. transmits sensory information
What mechanism most commonly results in a posterior hip dislocation?
Traumatic force along the long axis of the femur (fall or collision with the hip flexed, adducted, and internally rotated)
Name 3 typical signs and symptoms specific to an anterior shoulder dislocation.
Flattened deltoid appearance
Prominent humeral head anteriorly in the axilla
Arm held in abduction and external rotation
Positive apprehension test
What is the hallmark sign of the olecranon fracture?
inability to actively extend the elbow against gravity
Why should wrist and hand injuries never be ignored, even if pain seems mild?
Wrist and hand injuries may involve important ligaments or small fractures that can become chronic or disabling if left untreated
Why are fungal infections common in physically active individuals?
Best guess to the injury with pain with:
Active knee extension
Passive knee flexion
Resisted knee extension
Quadriceps muscle strain
Define scapulohumeral rhythm and state the normal movement ratio
Is the coordinated movement between the scapula and humerus during shoulder elevation
Normal ration is 1:2 - for every 1 degree of motion at the scapulothoracic joint there are 2 degrees of motion at the glenohumeral joint
How do medial and lateral epicondylitis differ?
Medial epicondylitis: involves flexor tendons
Lateral epicondylitis: involves extensor tendons
What is a boxers fracture and how does it occur?
How do non-infectious skin conditions differ from infectious ones?
