Tendons/Spine
Without development (decrease in muscle size).
What is ATROPHY?
What are ISOMETRIC CONTRACTIONS?
What are FEMUR, HUMERUS, TIBIA?
Surgical fixation (fusion) of a joint.
What is ARTHRODESIS?
What is a DISPLACED FRACTURE?
Inflammation of the tendons.
What is TENDONITIS?
These dissolve and resorb old bone (resorption)
What are OSTEOCLASTS?
These are layers of connective tissue with intermeshed fibers- limited stretching.
What is FASCIA?
The excision of a wedge or slice of bone to restore alignment.
What is OSTEOTOMY?
In this, active phagocytosis absorbs the local necrosis, forms the basis for new bone substance. (3-14 days after fracture)
What is GRANULATION TISSUE?
Lateral S-shaped curvature of thoracic & lumbar spine- unequal shoulders.
What is SCOLIOSIS?
This refers to cold temperature- (inability to regulate temperature).
What is poikilothermia?
What are PELVIS, SKULL, STERNUM, RIBS, VERTEBRAE, SCAPULA?
Abnormal condition of death of bone (tissue)
What is OSTEONECROSIS?
This type of fracture has a very high incidence among older adults and associated with a high risk of mortality.
What is a hip fracture/fracture of the proximal femur?
Name three groups that are more at risk for Repetitive strain injuries. (RSI)
Who are musicians, dancers, butchers, grocery clerks, vibratory tool workers, and those who use a computer mouse and keyboard?
Deposits new bone/secrete bone matrix (ossification)
What are OSTEOBLASTS?
Inflammation of the bone and cartilage.
What is OSTEOCHONDRITIS?
Surgical reconstruction or replacement of a joint.
What is an ARTHROPLASTY?
This is used to control muscle spasms and to immobilize an area before surgery.
What is skin traction/Buck's traction?
This lines the joint capsule (secretes lubricating/shock-absorbing fluid so bone ends don't touch each other).
What is synovium/synovial fluid?
This type of muscle is striated and involuntary.
What is CARDIAC?
What is COMPARTMENT SYNDROME?
This is the removal of pieces or osteophytes
What is DEBRIDEMENT?
This is when the bone loses blood supply and dies- and it happens after this.
What is avascular necrosis- after a dislocation/fracture?
