Exam 3 Flashcards
Transverse humeral ligament
Holds biceps tendon in place
Coracoacromial ligament
Holds scapula to scapula
Impingement syndrome
Inflammation of the tondons that run underneath the acromion (below the acromial arch) and insert on humerus.
Pain with movement
Rotator cuff SITS
Sits on top of humerus Supraspinatus Infraspinatus Teres minor Subscapularis
Glenoid labrum
A cartilage lip around the edge of the glenoid
Injuries:
Bankhart lesion (part gets knocked off)
Dislocation of shoulder (glenohumeral joint)
Most common direction:
Anterior
Anterior/inferior
Rotator cuff tear
Usually occurs in older people due to injury
Or can sometimes be preceded by overuse
Mallet finger
Tendon of the extensor digitorum is avulsed from the insertion at the distal phalanx. Patient will be unable to extend distal phalanx
Boutonnière deformity
Injury to PIP joint. Damage to central slip. Lateral bands fall to the side and bowstring
Carpal tunnel
Overuse injury that involved irritation of median nerve. Often caused by inflammation of flexor tendons
AC joint sprain
Sprain at the articulation of the clavicle and acromion of scapula. Often referred to as a separation of shoulder
Epicondylitis
Inflammation injury of the muscle groups that originate at the epicondyles of humerus
Medial epicondylitis
Golfers elbow
Inflammation at the origin of the muscles that flex the wrist
Lateral epicondylitis
Tennis elbow
Inflammation of the muscles that extend the wrist
(The jerk off muscles)
Little leaguers elbow
Pressure or tension on the medial epicondyle that can lead to avulsion of the medial epicondyle
Colles fracture
Fracture to distal radius that pushes wrist back over fracture and creates a silver fork deformity
Bones of hand starting with lateral proximal thumb and going from lateral to medial
Scaphoid
Lunate
Triquetrum
Pisiform
Trapezium
Trapezoid
Capitate
Ha mate
Boxers fracture
Fracture is common to the 4th and 5th metacarpal
Bennetts fracture
Fracture at the base of the first metacarpal.
May cause thumb to appear shorter when compared with opposite side
Jersey finger
Unable to flex distal phalanx
Elbow dislocation
Most common with FOOSH and hyper extension. Olecranon of the ulna is pushed posterior to its articulation
Concussion
A collection of signs and symptoms
Immediate and transient impairment of neural function
Coup injury- hit directly by an object
Contrecoup- fall and hit the floor
MTBI
Emotional changes
Amnesia
