Q

How long can the maturation phase last for and when does it usually begin?

A

up to a couple years; just because you cant see anything on the outside, doesnt mean it isnt trauma on the inside - starts around week 5ish after injury

Q

Injury results in an altered _____ and liberation of various materials. What does this cause?

A

metabolism; when the metabolism is altered it makes the area very warm

Q

___ is the first to arrive in an inflammatory response; it causes ____ and changes cell permeability owing to swelling

A

histamine ; vasodilation

20
Q

What is margination and what chemical mediators impact it?

A

Adherence along cell walls - leukotrienes, bradykinin and prostaglandins

21
Q

“increase permeability locally for fluid and protein passage”

A

diapedesis - done by leukotrienes, bradykinin and prostaglandins

22
Q

Leukotrienes, bradykinin and prostaglandins facilitate exudate formation and ______ entrance to injured site.

A

neutrophil

23
Q

____ regulate leukocyte and phagocytic activity

A

cytokines

24
Q

7 Steps to Inflammatory Process?

A
  1. Bacteria enters
  2. Platelets release blood-clotting proteins @ wound site
  3. Mast cells mediate vasodilation and vascular constriction
  4. Neutrophils secrete factors that kill pathogens
  5. Neutrophils/macrophages remove pathogens via phagocytosis
  6. Macrophages secrete cytokines that attract immune cells
  7. Response continues until all foreign bodies are gone
25
Q

What is the vascular response?

A
  • vasoconstriction and coagulation
  • chemical mediators released
  • vasodilation occurs 5-10 minutes later
26
Q

When vasodilation occurs, initial increases in what are seen?

A

blood flow - transitory

27
Q

When you have poor vascular flow, wear clothing that is too tight, or are on an airplane and get swollen feet what are you possibly experiencing?

A

Pitting edema

28
Q

Clot formation - platelets adhere to exposed ____ leading to formation of a “plug”

A

collagen

29
Q

Clots obstruct ______ drainage and aid in localizing injury

A

lymphatic - blocked drainage causes “swamp”

30
Q

Clot formation requires the conversion of ____ to ____

A

fibrinogen to fibrin

31
Q

The ___ clot seals the wound until the vessel wall heals.

A

fibrin

32
Q

What is the final stage of the inflammatory phase?

A

when leukocytes phagocytize the remaining debris

33
Q

What is it called when the acute inflammatory response is unable to eliminate the injuring agent?

A

Chronic Inflammation

34
Q

____ inflammation is typically associated with overuse, overload, and cumulative microtrauma

A

chronic

35
Q

What phase includes healing and regeneration?

A

II: fibroblastic repair

36
Q

In what phase will athletes complain initially of pain with movement and point tenderness?

A

fibroblastic repair

37
Q

During what phase do signs and symptoms of inflammation subside?

A

fibroblastic repair

38
Q

During fibroblastic repair, capillary buds begin to _____

A

proliferate

39
Q

what does it mean when capillaries proliferate?

A

they are reacting to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) by creating revascularization

40
Q

Capillaries and fibroblasts unite and create a matrix that contains ____ and ____. This is the scar.

A

collagen and elastin

41
Q

Tensile strength of the scar increase in proportion to _____ _____

A

collagen proliferation

42
Q

What phase is characterized by a remodeling of the scar tissue according to tensile forces?

A

III: maturation and remodeling

43
Q

____ Law - when you need to actually have pressure on it to have it heal

A

Wolfe’s

44
Q

___ has a limited capacity to heal due to the fact that it has little or no direct blood supply

A

Cartilage

45
Q

If the injury is an an area of a synovial joint, why is it hard to heal?

A

The synovial fluid bathes all of the clotting away.

46
Q

Full healing for a ligamentous injury may take up to how long?

A

12 months
