ST Injuries
An overstretching or tearing of the muscles and/or adjacent tissues
Strain
Name a part of the body is an example of a hinge joint
Elbow
Knee
Ankle
Interphalangeal
A separation of a joint and malposition of an extremity as a result from a force that causes a joint to go beyond its normal anatomical limits
Dislocation
This fracture can be caused by repeated stress over a period of time as compared to an acute fracture caused by one specific injury; marathon runners receive these due to repeated wear and tear on the bones of the body parts that have demands on them
Stress fracture
A sac full of fluid that reduces friction between tendon, bones, ligaments, and other structures
Bursa
This is the immediate treatment for someone who has sprained their ankle
PRICE
This type of joint is freely movable
Synovial
A condition in which calcium is produced within the muscle after a blow
Myositis ossificans
A break in a bone that has an S-shaped, or helical, separation; basketball players are among the most prone to this type of fracture
Spiral fracture
Fluid inside a protective capsule around a joint that acts as a shock absorber and cushions bones
Synovial fluid
This is the immediate treatment for someone who has fractured or dislocated a shoulder
Splint the injury, put the patient in a comfortable position
Slightly movable joints in the spine are classified as this
Cartilaginous joints
A crackling or grating sound that is heard upon movement of a damaged bone or joint
Crepitus
A break in which one bone fragment becomes embedded in the interior of another bone fragment; athletes who participate in rodeo and contact sports are more likely to receive these fractures
Impacted fracture
A cartilaginous disk surrounded with fluid that also reduces fruction during movement and adds stability
Meniscus
A patient who experiences soreness and tenderness, with or without motion, and possible mild swelling most like has this
Tendonitis
A band of fibrous tissue that helps hold bone to bone
Ligament
A severe or 3rd degree sprain will have which of the following:
A. no joint laxity
B. some joint laxity with no endpoint
C. no joint laxity with no endpoint
D. increased laxity with no endpoint
Increased laxity with no endpoint
This is a break in the floor of the orbital socket resulting from a direct blow to the eye; athletes participating in baseball, lacrosse, and racquetball are most vulnerable to this injury
Blowout fracture
What does PRICE stand for?
Protect
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevate
A patient experiences decrease or increase in ROM, severe loss of function, muscle spasms, palpable defect in the muscle, pain that does not change during movement because muscle is completely torn, patient may have heard a "pop" or "snap"
Severe strain
Fibrous connective tissue around a oint that connects muscle to bone
Tendon
A gymnast has an accident during a routine and falls off the bars. She is holding her arm as you approach and you notice upon your assessment that she has point tenderness, loss of strength, complete loss of motion, and deformity. When you compare one shoulder to the other, they do not look alike. What do you think the injury is?
Dislocation
This fracture is a break having three or more fragments at the fracture site; contact sports are most likely to receive this fracture
Comminuted fracture
Name the 5 functions of the skeletal system
1.Provides support for muscles, fat, and soft tissues
2.Protects internal organs
3.Provides lifting and movement
4.Produces blood
5.Stores body’s calcium supply
