BELIEVE IN YOURSELF Flashcards
Meniscus - vascular vs. not
Inner third of medial is AVASCULAR
Outer third of medial is vascular
Apleys
Differentiates meniscal and ligament
Pt prone with knee flexed to 90; stabilize their thigh then passively distract the knww and slowly IR and ER tibia
Apply compressive load to knee joint and rotate tibia again
Pain or dec motion with the added compression = meniscal!
Pain or inc motion with distraction = ligament!
Hughston;s plica
Pt supine with flexed knee and IR tibia, passive glide patella medially while palpatng medial femoral condyle, feel for popping as passively extend and flex the knww
Patellar apprehension
Hx of dislocation
Pt supine with patella passively glided laterally
Clarke’s sign
Patellofemoral dysfunction
Pt supine with knee ext, push post on superior pole of patella, then ask pt to perform quad contraction
Q angle measurement - how and norms
Normal is 13 for men, 18 for women
ASIS, mid patella, tibial tubercle
Angle btw quads and patellar tendon
Noble compression
IT band friction syndrome
Pt supine with hip flexed 45 and knee flexed 90, apply pressure to lateral femoral epicondyle and then extend the knee
Pt will complain of pain over lateral epicondyle at about 30 deg flex
Wilson’s test is for
Osteochondritis dissecans
Pt sit on EOT, actively extend knee with IR of tibia
Pos if pain present at 30 deg with IR but no pain at 30 deg with ER

ACL - graft
Most common are semitendinosus and gracilis

Glut max!
THA - anterolateral approach - which mm get impact
Hip abd

Epidermal burn = think
SUNBURN! No blisters!
Superficial partial thickness burn
Through epidermis and into papillary dermis
BLISTERS!!!
PAINFUL!
Heals wo surgery
Deep partial thickness burn
Through epidermis, papillary, and into reticular
Full thickness burn
Through all epidermis and all dermis
INSENSATE!
Zone of coagulation
Cells are irreversibly damaged, skin death occurs
Zone of stasis
injured cells that might die within 24 -48 hrs wo intervention
zone of hyperemia
Minimal cell damage and tissue should recover without lasting effects
Lymphatic system is normally responsible for collecting what percent of interstitial fluid?
10-20%
Venous system collects other 80-90%
Lymphedema - long vs. short stretch
SHORT STRETCH more for edema and lymphedema
Low resting and high working
Long stretch - high resting pressure
Bunnel Littler
Identifies tightness in structures surrounding MCP joints
MCP stabilized in slight ext while PIP is flexed
Then MCP and PIP are flexed
If flex limited in both cases = capsule is tight
If more PIP flex with MCP flex = intrinsics are tight
Tght retinacular
Tightness around PIP joint PIP stabilized while DIP is flexed Then PIP and DIP are flexed If flex limited in both = capsule tight If more DIP flex with PIP flex, tight ligaments
Dequervains involves
