11) Ortho Flashcards
The phalanges are found in the:
Foot and hand
Connective tissue that connects bone to bone & holds joints:
Attachment of a muscle to a bone that moves w/ contraction:
Specialized bands of connective tissue that attach muscle to bone at the insertion:
= Ligament “Align the bone”
= Insertion
= Tendons “Tendons attend to the bone”
Grade I, Grade II, and Grade III are used to classify types of:
Strains
Hip fracture will sometimes present w/ foot & knee positioned:
lateral rotation of the foot & knee
Accelerated bone tissue degeneration due to bone mineral loss, is called:
Osteoporosis
You’d find the innominates & the ischial tuberosities in the:
Pelvis
Pathological fractures result from:
Cancer
Bones of the head, thorax, and spine are known as the:
Axial skeleton
Greenstick fractures are usually found in:
Pediatric patients
Disruption in bone-healing process to a degree that 2 broken bone ends do not rejoin is called:
A nonunion
Internal bleeding from a femoral fracture blood loss w/ class:
= 1500mL of blood loss & class 2
Common reasons for impair the healing process?
= Smoking NSAIDS & Pregnancy
Anterior shoulder displacement presents w/:
Posterior hip dislocation will present w/ the foot:
Knee dislocations normally present w/:
= prominent shoulder w/ the arm close to the chest
= Rotated internally
= the knee at an angle & firmly fixed in place
Joint that allows articulation between atlas & axis of spine:
Joints that do not permit movement are called:
= Pivot joint
= Synarthroses (pubis symphysis)
The hip & shoulder are examples of:
A painful muscle tissue spasm is called a:
= Ball and socket joints
= Cramp
The most frequently fractured bone in the body is the:
Most common cause of musckoskeletol injuries:
= Clavicle
= MVA
Compartment syndrome occurs most often w/:
The “six Ps” of Compartment syndrome:
Complication of musculoskeletal injury is compartment syndrome, caused by:
= Lower leg injuries
= Pain Pallor parenstiea pulses
= Bleeding into, or edema within, a muscle mass surrounded by fasciae that do not stretch
Long bone end w/ growth plate & support structures of joint:
Cavity w/in a bone that contains yellow marrow is:
Central part of a long bone is known as the:
= Epiphysis
= Medullary canal
= Diaphysis
Complete displacement of a bone end from its joint capsule:
Dislocation easily described as:
= Dislocation
= displacement of bones from a joint.
A fractured humerus is best immobilized using a:
Traction splints are applied to injuries to the:
For immobilizing a possible ankle dislocation w/ deformity:
= Sling and swathe
= Femur
= Pillow
Functions of the skeleton include:
Storage of salts & other materials for metabolism, Gives body structural form, Protects vital organs, Allows for efficient m-nt despite gravity, Produces RBCs used to transport oxygen
The bone on the thumb side of the forearm is called the:
The single bone of the proximal upper extremity is the:
= Radius
= Humerus
Cartilage is the tissue that:
Provides the articular surfaces of the skeletal system
In cases of lower-leg injury which bone is more & less likely to fracture:
= Tibia stronger than fibula
