Clinical Correlations Flashcards
What is dermatome testing
integrity of ascending neuronal system
what are 2 examples of refferred pain
under diaphragm irritation causing pain tip of shoulder. from phrenis C3-5 and supraclavicular nn C3 C4
angina pectoris
what is angina pectoris
radiation from thorax to upper left limb
sympathetic T1-T4 and T1-T3 are the dermatomes of upper limb
P’eau d’orange
orange skin. dimpling of skin overlaying breast due to tightening of the suspensory ligaments-tumor growth
Dupuytren’s contracture
pathological thickening and contracture of the longitudinal CT bundles of palmar aponeurosis. draws fingers into palm
Subacromial/subdeltoid bursitis
inflammation accompanied by pain and swelling within a confined synovial space, in this case the bursa around glenhumeral joint
olecranon bursitis
inflammation of elbow
ganglion cyst
thickening and contracture of tendon sheaths at extensor surface of wrist
DeQuervain’s disease
inflammation of the synovial sheath surrounding extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus tendons
Trigger finger
inflammation of flexor tendons of the hand
clinical correlations go radial and ulnar bursae
tenosynovitis inflammation and distension of synovial tendon sheaths
what could happen in the deep palmar spaces
spread of infection thorugh deep spaces
What bone is used to determine age of badly decomposed bones
clavicle- last to ossify early 2nd-3rd decade
what is the typical fracture of clavicle
in the middle because of natural curve. “green stick” fracture
results of medial calvicular dislocation
pressure on carotid sheath. CNX= decrease HR and contractility
AC separation
stretching or rupturing the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments
Grades of AC joint
1: stretch
2: torn AC stretch CC
3: torn AC CC and 3-5X increase of space
4/5: greater increase in separation
6: complete rupture of both ligaments with inferior clavicle displacement
adhesive capsulitis
thickend fibrotic inflammed capsule decreasing all ROM active and passively
what can cause adhesive capsulitis
arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, inactivity, postsurgical complication
scneario of tearing supraspinatus tendon
trying to lift too much or catchin heavy object.
calcific tendinosis of supraspinatus tendon
osteophytes growing inferiorly from arthritic AC joint
tendon becomes calcific so less elastic and more brittle- prone to rupture
What can cause a ruptured tendone of long head biceps
intracapsular tendon becomes inflammed and erodes over time
what is bicipital tendonitis
inflammtion of the synovial sheath surrouding the tendon of the long head of the biceps within inter tubercular groove.
can lead to dislocation of long head biceps
describe posterior shoulder dislocations
5% shoulder dislocations
posterior prominence of humeral head, prominent coracoid process and the arm is in adduction without being able to laterally rotate
describe anterior shoulder dislocations
95% shoulder dislocations
loss of normal contour
pull head of humerus into axilla- slight abduction
humeral head is prominent anteriorly
Sx include paresthesias in distribution of axillary and musculocutaneous nn
describe humero-ulnar dislocation
movement of ulna and radios posteriorly relative to the distal end of humerus- can stretch ulna n
