Q

What is the difference between an extracapsular and intracapsular fracture of the head of the femur?

A

Extracapsular fractures - The blood supply to the head of the femur is intact, so NO avascular necrosis occurs.

Intracapsular fractures - occur within the capsule of the hip joint. It can damage the medial femoral circumflex artery and cause avascular necrosis of the femoral head.

Q

What is the Inter-trochanteric line? What ligament attaches to it?

A

Ridge of bone that runs in a inferomedial direction on the anterior surface of the femur, connecting the two trochanters together.

The iliofemoral ligament attaches here.

Q

What induces endothelial cells to move selectins (cell adhesion proteins) to their apical surface (facing the blood)?

A

Histamine and interleukin.

This allows neutrophils to bind via their selectin ligands and leads to adhesion, activation, margination, transmigration process.

Q

What is the test for ruptured ACL?

A

Q

What is the test for ruptured calcaneal tendon?

A

Thompson test

20
Q

Name the superior to inferior components of the Pes Anseurius.

A

Sartorius Gracilis Semitendinosus “SGT”

21
Q

What four things activate plasminogen?

A

tPA [tissue Plasminogen Activator]

Streptokinase

Factor XIa

Factor XIIa

22
Q

What are the five layers of the skin?

A

stratum corneum

stratum lucidum

stratum granulosum

stratum spinosum

stratum basale

“Come Lets Get Sun Burnt”

23
Q

Of the five layers of skin, which layer is only present in thick skin?

A

stratum lucidum

24
Q

What is Stratum Corneum?

A

The thick layer of dead keratinocytes at the surface of the skin.

25
Q

What layer of the skin are melanocytes found in?

A

Stratum basale only

26
Q

What structure is likely to be compressed in tarsal tunnel syndrome?

A

Tibial nerve.

Causes paraesthesia across the heel, plantar aspect of the foot and radiates to the hallux and 2nd and 3rd digits.

27
Q

What muscle and nerve is being tested with the patella reflex?

A

Patella ligament causes the rectus femoris to contract. L2-L4.

28
Q

Name some systemic factors that compromise wound healing.

A

Poor nutrition (e.g. lack of vitamin C prevents collagen production)

Circulatory status - poor perfusion delays healing Metabolic status

Hormones (glucocorticosteroids) / Diabetes compromises healing

29
Q

Name some local factors that compromise wound healing.

A

Infection

Mechanical factors (excessive movement delays healing)

Foreign bodies

Size, location and type of wound

30
Q

How does the Peri-aqueductal Grey (PAG) control pain?

A

The PAG projects into the raphe nuclei which release serotonin (opiod) in the dorsal horn.

Serotonin binds to the nociceptive fibres and prevents substance P release.

This reduces transmission from the nociceptoer to the spinothalamic tract so less ascending pain impulses reach the brain.

31
Q

What are these cells derived from?

a) Osteoblasts
b) Osteocytes

A

a) Osteoprogenitor cells
b) Osteoblasts

32
Q

What muscles are involved in abduction of the glenohumeral joint? (3)

A

Supraspinatour (15*c)

Deltoid (90*c)

Serratus Anterior

33
Q

What are the two classifications for pain?

What does each branch into?

A
34
Q

What classification of neurone is

a motor neurone?

a sensory neurone?

A

motor –> multipolar

sensory –> unipolar

35
Q

What is the ‘transverse ligament’ in the knee?

A

Connects the two mensci anteriorly in the knee joint.

36
Q

There are two types of cartilagenous joints

[1] synchondrosis

[2] symphysis

Give examples of each and the type of cartilage involved in the joint.

A

[1] epiphysial plates, 1st rib & manubrium.

HYALINE cartilage.

[2] sternal angle, IV discs, pubic symphysis

FIBRO cartilage

37
Q

The adductor magnus has an ‘adductor’ part and ‘hamstring’ part. Where do each of these originate from on the pelvis?

Innervation?

A

Adductor part = ischiopubic ramus.

Obturator nerve L2,3,4

Hamstring part = ischial tuberosity.

Tibial portion of sciatic L2,3,4

*inserts onto adductor tubercle*

38
Q

What muscles in the foot are supplied by the medial plantar nerve?

(The rest are supplied by the lateral plantar nerve)

A

L umbrical (1st)

A bductor hallucis

F lexor digitorum brevis

39
Q

Give an examples of a condyloid & ellipsoid joint.

A

Condyloid - wrist

Ellipsoid - metacarpophalangeal

40
Q

How many layers are in the epidermis in

a) thin skin?
b) thick skin?

A

thin = 4

thick = 5

41
Q

What three things are involved in the ‘neuromatrix theory of pain’?

A

Cognitive evaluative

Sensory

Affective

42
Q

In the ‘neuromatrix theory of pain’ there is a medial and lateral pain system. What does each recieve from?

A

Medial pain system:

Medial thalamic nuclei, anterior congulate nucleus (ACC) and insula.

Lateral pain system:

1o and 2o somatosensory cortices nd lateral thalamic nuclei.

43
Q

A

Lacunae
