exam 2- muscles Flashcards
tendons
fibrous connective tissues that attaches skeletal mucsles to bone
ligaments
fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to where they meet a joint
strain
tear or rupture in a tendon, may be accompanied by a freature
sprain
tear or rupture of a ligament, may be accompanied by a fracture
avulsion
a complete separation of a tendon or ligament from the bone,
may be accompanied by a fracture
patho repare chain for traumatic injuries to tendons or ligaments
inflammatory exudate developes between torn ends
repair process- granulation tissue
collagen formation (connective tissue)
vascular fibrous tissue fuses tissues into single mass
clinical mani of traumatic injuries to tendons or ligaments
sharp, localized pain and tenderness
soft tissue swelling
treatment for traumatic injuries to tendons or ligaments
RICE
heat to increase healing and comfort (72hr post injury)
total healing time is normally 4-6 weeks
RICE
rest
ice to decrease swelling (1st 72 hrs)
compression
elevation
muscle strains
local muscle damage from sudden, forced motion, causes muscles to be stretched beyond normal capacity
etiology of muscle strains
sports injuries, trauma
patho of muscle strains
hemorrhage into surrounding tissues and inflammation present
clinical mani of muscle strains
pain and bruising
treatment for muscle strains
ice
analgesia
rest
healing = 6 weeks
myglobinuria (rhabdomyolysis)
life threatening comp of severe muscle trauma
