Bones
This is the primary function of the skeleton in supporting the body, providing a framework for structure and protection.
What is providing a framework to support the body?
This machine, used following major orthopedic surgeries, aids in decreasing pain and swelling, reduces joint stiffness, inhibits the formation of adhesions, and provides early mobility.
What is a continuous passive range of motion (CPM) machine?
This synthetic resin is often employed to affix implants to bone during total joint replacement procedures.
What is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), commonly known as bone cement?
These devices minimize the need for repositioning during orthopedic surgery and enhance the stability of the surgical site.
What are sterile positioning devices?
This is the primary structural component of cancellous (spongy) bone that allows it to adapt to load-bearing stress by forming a network of supporting struts.
What is Trabeculae
This tissue found in bones is responsible for producing red blood cells and is primarily located in the spongy bone.
What is red bone marrow
This type of motion, commonly found in an oscillating saw used in orthopedic surgery, involves a back-and-forth motion, similar to a small, rapid, controlled saw.
What is oscillating motion?
Bone structure articulates with the clavicle and serves as attachment points for arm and chest muscles.
What is acromion process
These devices are frequently used in orthopedic surgical procedures on extremities to control blood flow, create a bloodless surgical field, and improve visibility during the procedure.
Why are pneumatic tourniquets frequently used in orthopedic surgical procedures on extremities?
The function of this cartilage is to provide a smooth, lubricated surface for joint movement, while the synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid to reduce friction and nourish the joint.
What is the function of the articular cartilage and synovial membrane in a joint?
This term is used to describe the point where two bones meet to form a joint.
What is articulation
This essential equipment for arthroscopy includes a video monitor, light source box, arthroscopy pump with tubing for fluids, powered shaving system, and camera system, enabling clear visualization of the joint’s interior.
What are the essential tools for performing arthroscopy?
This item is used in the operating room to maintain sterility of the C-arm and allow the surgeon to adjust it while keeping the equipment sterile.
What is a C-arm drape?
A TENS unit helps manage postoperative pain by directing and blocking pain signals in the spinal cord, providing relief for the patient.
How does a transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) unit help manage postoperative pain?
This type of joint is a freely movable joint that contains a synovial membrane and fluid, allowing for a wide range of motion.
What is a diarthrosis joint?
This action refers to the movement of the foot upwards, decreasing the angle between the foot and the lower leg.
What is dorsiflexion?
This bone forms the posterior portion of the shoulder girdle and is described as broad, flat, and triangle-shaped.
What is scapula
The term "cancellous bone" is used because it refers to bone with a spongy or porous structure, resembling a honeycomb, and is typically found at the ends of long bones and in the interior of others.
What does the term "cancellous bone" indicate about the bone’s structure?
In addition to bones, these structures are part of the skeletal system and help hold the skeletal framework together, providing stability and support.
What are ligaments and cartilage?
A type of joint allows the widest range of motion, including rotational movement?
What is ball and socket
The inflammatory state typically begins immediately after an injury occurs, marking the first stage of healing.
When does the inflammatory state typically begin after an injury?
This portal is typically used to view the glenohumeral ligament during shoulder arthroscopy.
What is the anterosuperior portal?
This condition is characterized by increased pressure within a fascial compartment, leading to decreased blood flow, muscle ischemia, and potential nerve damage, often following a bone fracture.
What is compartment syndrome?
This mineral is essential for blood clotting and muscle function, playing a crucial role in these processes.
What is calcium?
An example of a condyloid joint?
What is temporomanibular joint
