This is the size c-arm used in all cardiac cases?
What is a 12" c-arm?
Name the two types of specialized connective tissues that make up the skeletal system.
What are bone and cartilage?
This type of fracture occurs when the break is at a near 90° to the long axis of the bone.
What is a transverse fracture?
This is the name for the non-inflammatory disorder that results in deteriorated articular cartilage and enlarged bone growth.
What is osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease?
This is what ORIF stands for.
What is Open Reduction Internal Fixation?
This is the medical term for the portion of the vertebral disc that may become herniated and require a microdiscectomy.
What is the nucleus polposus?
This is the name for bone destruction.
What is resorption?
This type of fracture occurs when there are 2 or more fragments of bone.
What is a comminuted fracture?
This is the name for the connective tissue disorder that results in multiple, frequent fractures due to brittle bones.
What is osteogenesis imperfecta?
Fracture alignment that is judged by the contact and position of the fracture ends is called this.
What is apposition?
This position of the tube end of the c-arm results in the least amount of exposure to the surgeon.
What is tube on the bottom?
Hyaline, fibro, and elastic are all types of this highly specialized connective tissue.
What is cartilage?
This type of fracture, seen below, is often seen following falls from height.
What is a compression fracture?
This is the name for the congenital bone condition where the transverse process continues to grow and attaches to the sacrum.
What is transitional vertebra?
This deformity seen below shows the apex angled toward midline and the distal end angled away from midline.
What is valgus deformity?
The image below demonstrates the post-op placement from this procedure.
What is a fusion?
This is when secondary ossification occurs.
What is after the epiphyseal plates ossify or in the early 20's?
This fracture occurs between the lesser and greater trochanters of the proximal femur and often requires a TFN surgery.
What is an intertrochanteric fracture?
This is the name for the congenital condition seen below of "marble-like" dense bone.
What is osteopetrosis?
Name a least 3 classifications of fractures that are seen in the image below.
Compound/Open fracture
Complete fracture
Displaced fracture
Transverse fracture (Ulna)
Oblique fracture (Radius)
Comminuted/ Splintered fracture (Radius)
Varus deformity in current position, Valgus deformity in anatomic position
If a patient has a disc herniation so severe that the spinal nerve is compressed, this is the procedure that would be performed to remove the posterior portion of the vertebral arch.
What is a laminectomy or hemilaminectomy?
Intramembranous ossification occurs in the connective tissue membranes of these types of bone.
What are the flat bones?
This fracture has anterior displacement from falling backward on outstretched hands.
What is a Smith's fracture?
The skeletal pathology in the image below results in vertebra displacement from a defect in the pars interarticularis.
What is spondylolisthesis?
This is the name for the skeletal pathology that is a highly malignant, primary bone cancer that can lead to gross bone destruction.
What is osteosarcoma or osteogenic sarcoma?
