Ch 11-13 common pathologies

Question 1

common in the palm in line with ring and little fingers; may develop flexion contractures

Answer 1

dupuytren’s contracture

Question 2

nursemaids elbow

Answer 2

pulled elbow

Question 3

when nodule or swelling of sheath lining or tendon develops, the tendon can’t slide in and out smoothly so the finger becomes locked in flexion and has to be manually extended

Answer 3

stenosing tenosynovitis

Question 4

occurs when the palmar aponeurosis undergoes a nodular thickening

Answer 4

dupuytren’s contracture

Question 5

caused by compression of median nerve within carpal tunnel

Answer 5

carpal tunnel

Question 6

when great deal of force is applied to an elbow that is slightly flexed; causes ulna to slide posterior to distal end of humerus

Answer 6

elbow dislocation

Question 7

trigger finger

Answer 7

stenosing tenosynovitis

Question 8

if fibers were all cute, bowstringing would occur of extensor tendons on flexor side

Answer 8

carpal tunnel

Question 9

inflammation of common flexor tendon that inserts on medial epicondyle

Answer 9

medial epicondylitis

Question 10

force causing radial head to sublux out under the annular ligament; pulls on child’s arm or child falls while arm is being held

Answer 10

pulled elbow

Question 11

caused by disruption of the extensor mechanism of dip joint either b/c tendon was severed or b/c the portion of bone where tendon attaches has aculsed distal phalanx, which remains flexed and cannot extend

Answer 11

mallet finger

Question 12

tennis elbow

Answer 12

lateral epicondylitis

Answer 17

De Quervain’s disease

Question 18

associated with damage to blood vessel that supplies the scaphoid bone and lead to necrosis

Answer 20

gamekeeper’s thum

Question 21

break in distal radius at level of metaphysis and common in elderly

Answer 21

colles fracture

Question 31

common hand injury among athletes involves an acute tear of ulnar collateral ligament of thumb
