Q

bone is the same size, length, problems are inside, all bones everywhere, not enough calcium when young you could have it when your older, results are less bone density, very little force can make it break

Q

OB/GYN

A

25
Q

How are bone fractures treated

A

reduction and immobilization

26
Q

bones are gently coaxed into position by physicians hands

A

Closed reduction

27
Q

bones are realigned with instrument or by hand during surgery

A

Open reduction

28
Q

attempt to realign the bone involved or joint dislocation; a closed reduction

A

Manipulation

29
Q

external force exerted on a limb in a distal(axial) direction in an effort to return the bone or join to normal alignment; foots and knees; think: pulling on leg

A

Traction

30
Q

can’t move the broken bone

A

Immobilization

31
Q

fracture treatment procedure in which hardware are placed through the skin and into the bone so that an external appliance can be used to hold the pieces of bone firmly in place while healing

A

External Fixation

32
Q

ORIF; one surgery, procedure is inside the bone; screws or plates are used and placed directly inside to hold the broken pieces in place

A

Internal Fixation

33
Q

visual examination of a joint; minimally invasive, soft tissue injuries, fractures; can diagnose injuries, repair soft tissues, remove damaged or inflamed tissue

A

Arthroscopy

34
Q

x ray of hip bone to determine if patient has osteoporosis

A

Bone density test

35
Q

using a needle and syringe to extract liquid from the marrow for transplantation, for osteopenia, osteoporosis, osteomalacia

A

Bone marrow aspiration

image is produced using magnets; high powered; very expensive; advanced imaging technique

A

Magnetic Resonance Imaging; MRI

38
Q

very quick, cheap, easy images with minimal radiation risk

A

X Ray

39
