FF PATHOLOGY I TERMS

Question 1

break in bone caused by repetitive forces insufficient to cause an acute fracture but which eventually lead to stress failure of the involved bone

Answer 1

metatarsal stress fracture

Question 2

remodeling of bone tissue dependent on stresses exerted upon it to accommodate forces

Answer 2

wolf’s law

Question 3

micro fractures in cortex of bone due to increased and repetitive stress load on metatarsal

Answer 3

marchs fracture

Question 4

external stress causes infarction resulting in an incomplete fracture of bone w/o displacement of fragments; revascularization occurs but only after destruction of bone occurs

Answer 4

Freiberg’s infarction/disease

Question 5

inflammation of the region surrounding the sesamoid appartus

Answer 5

sesamoiditis

Question 6

many overlapping symptoms with sesamoiditis, often times more intense

Answer 6

sesamoid fracture

Question 7

normal 1st MPJ ROM is 65 dorsiflexion, but otherwise in this deformity?

Answer 7

hallux limitus/rigidus

Question 8

decreased ROM with loading of 1 metatarsal but normal ROM in open chain kinetics

what type of hallux limits/rigidus

Answer 8

functional

Question 9

decreased ROM with loading of 1st metatarsal and in open chain kinetics

what type of hallux limits/rigidus

Answer 9

structural

Question 10

hammertoes, claw toes, mallet toe, adductovarus 4th and 5th digit

Answer 10

digital deformities

Question 11

name this digital deformity

contractures:
extension of MPJ
flexion of PIPJ
extension of DIPJ

Answer 11

hammertoes

Question 12

name this digital deformity

contractures:
extension of MPJ
flexion of PIPJ
flexion of DIPJ

Answer 12

clawtoes

Question 13

name this digital deformity

contractures:
flexion of DIPJ
relatively normal position of PIPJ and MPJ

Answer 13

mallet toe

Question 14

name this digital deformity

adduction, varus rotation and some flexion of 3rd, 4th, and 5th toes

Answer 14

adductovarus digital rotation
