Exam III Study Guide Flashcards
First-degree, grade I AC joint sprain
minimal loss of function
Second-degree, grade II AC sprain
moderate pain, some dysfunction
Third-degree, grade III AC w/ coracoclavicular ligament injury
may have significant dysfunction
AC Joint Sprain Grade I and II rehabilitation
Sling 1-2 weeks
Followed by ROM
Once pain-free, add isometric exercises (clavicular and scapular muscles)
AC Joint Sprain Grade III rehabilitation
Acute first 2-4 weeks:
-PT to decrease pain and swelling
-Reinforce immobilizer use
Return to function based on pain level and tolerance for activity
-ROM
-Strengthening
Clavicle Fracture rehabilitation
Most are treated non-surgically with sling use x 3-4 weeks
Clavicle Fracture ORIF indications
-Open fractures
-Displaced fractures with impending –skin compromise
-Neurovascular compromise
-Widely displaced mid-clavicular fractures
Sling following surgery for 6 weeks
Humerus Fracture rehabilitation
Minimally or non-displaced fracture management
-Sling
-Early PROM within 14 days (avoid adhesive capsulitis)
-AROM at 4-6 weeks
Fractures of the humeral neck
-Most common displaced humeral fracture
-Closed reduction or ORIF
Fractures of greater tuberosity
-Occur with shoulder dislocation
-ORIF if displaced
Benign suffix
-oma
Malignant suffix
-sarcoma
Osteochondroma
Cartilage-capped bony spur/outgrowth on bone surface
Usually occurs at end of long-bone growth plates, interfering with joint function
Most commonly form at knee or shoulder
Osteochondroma symptoms
-A hard, immobile, detectable mass that is painless
-Loss of joint ROM
-Soreness of the adjacent muscles
-Limb length discrepancies
-Pressure or irritation with exercise
-Possibility for changes in blood flow
Osteoid Osteoma
Benign skeletal neoplasm consisting of a nidus of osteoid tissue in the cortex
Osteoid Osteoma symptoms
-Pain at night
-Pain with activity
-Pain relieved with NSAIDs
-Can affect bone growth in individuals with open growth plates
Osteoblastoma
Benign, but larger than osteoid osteoma and likely to grow, usually in the vertebral column (unlike osteoid osteoma) or long bones along diaphysis
Osteoblastoma symptoms
Pain for several months
-Not as severe as osteoid osteoma
-Less likely to be relieved with NSAIDs
-Poorly localized
-Possible scoliosis
-Nerve root impingement
Endochondroma
Cartilage cyst found in bone marrow, often found incidentally
Usually found in metacarpals/metatarsals but also found in humerus and femur
Endochondroma symptoms
-Mostly asymptomatic
-Possible fractures of the affected bone
-Enlargement of affected finger
Chondroblastoma
Slow growing tumor usually at epiphyseal plate, usually femur/tibia/humerus
Benign, but locally aggressive and usually must be excised
