final exam new stuff Flashcards
osteoprogenitor cells
undiffertiated cells that differientiate into osteo blasts. they are found in the periosteum, endostuem, and epiphyseal growth plate of growing bones
osteoblasts
bone building cells that synthesize and secrete the organic matric of bone. osteoblasts also participate in the calcification of the organic matric
osteocytes
mature bone cells that function in the maintenance of bone matrix. osteocytes also play an active role in releasing calcium into the blood
osteoclasts
bone cells responsible for the resorption of bone matrix and the release of calcium and phosphate from bone
tendon
tendons attach muscles to bone and transmit load from muscle to bone, resulting in joint motion
ligament
attach bone to bone and augment mechanical stability of a joint
strain
stretching injury to muscle/tendon caused by mechanical overload
-results from muscle contraction or forcible stretch
sprain
involves ligamentous structures surrounding the joint
-pain and swelling subside more slowly
-ligaments torn or ruptured
hip injuries: dislocations
anterior or posterior (emergency)– tension placed on blood supply to femoral head– avascular necrosis may result
hip injuries: fractures
classified according to location
-most of femoral neck fractures
-location is important in terms of blood flow to femoral
-external rotation and shortening
fracture of a bone
a fracture is any disruption, complete or incomplete, in the continuity of a bone
fracture of bone causes
-sudden injury, stress, pathologic
neurovascular integrity assessment
-distal blood flow, pulses, and sensation
closed fracture
fracture in which bone fragments separate completely
open fracture
bone protrudes through the skin
spiral fracture
a fracture resulting from a twisting motion
compression fracture
a fracture that consists of bones that are crushed or squeezed together
comminuted fracture
a fracture with more that two pieces
greenstick fracture
fracture with a partial break in bone continuity-often seen in children
impacted fracture
fracture is wedged together
clinical manifestations of a fracture
angulation, shortening, rotation(long bones)
-pain, swelling, tenderness, loss of function
-deformity
bone healing stage 1
-hematoma formation from torn blood vessels- clot forms
-death of bone cells from blood disruption
bone healing stage 2
-inflammation–nuerovasculation–formation of fibrin meshwork
-osteoblast synthesize new bone
-granulation tissue form beginning of callus
bone healing stage 3
reparative phase: continued formation of callus of cartilage and woven bone
bone healing stage 4
remodeling phase: gives cortex time to be reestablished
-healing through continues osteoblast and osteoclast activity
impaired fracture healing: delayed union
manifestation: failure of fracture to heal within predicted time
contributing factors: large, displaces fracture
impaired fracture healing: malunion
manifestation: deformity at fracture site, deformity/angulation on XR
-inadequate immobilization, circulation, reduction or infection
impaired healing of fractures: nonunion
manifestations: failure of bone to heal before process of bone repair stops(pain)
-bone fragment separating, infection, inadequate circulation, bone necrosis, noncompliance
complications of musculoskeletal trauma
-associated with loss of skeletal continuity
-injury from bone fragments
-pressure form swelling and hemorrhage
-involvement of nerve fibers
-development of venous thromboembolism and fat embolism
compartment syndrome
pathopysiology:
-increased pressure within a limited space (abnominal and limb compartments)- compromises circulation and function of tissues
-increase in volume of contents or decreae in compartment size
-muscles/nerves enclosed in tough, non elastic fascia compartments-if pressure is too high, tissue circulation compromised- causes death of nerve and musle cells
compartment syndrome: causes of increased volume
-swelling, trauma, vascular injury, bleeding and edema post surgery, ischemic events, IV infiltration
compartment syndrome signs
hallmark sign: severe pain that is out of proportion to injury
-changes in sensation- nerve compression
-diminished reflexes or loss of motion
-necrosis occurs quickly
fat embolism syndrome
life-threatening
patho: presence of fat droplets in small vessels of lung, kidneys, brain
-long bone or pelvic fracture
-released from bone marrow or adipose tissue at fracture site into venous system
fat embolism syndrome clinical manifestations
respiratory failure, cerebral dysfunction, petechiae (little spots under skin)
osteomyelitis
acute or chronic infection of the bone caused by:
-direct penetration or contamination of open fracture/wound
-seeding through bloodstream
-extension from a contiguous site (staphylococci)
-skin infectionis in people w vascular insufficiency
osteomyelitis S/S
-bacteremia (fever, chills, warmth, malaise)
-localized erythema, edema
-pain with movement of infected extremity
-loss of ROM
metabolic bone disease: osteopenia
reduction in bone mass greater than expected for age, race, or sex
-occurs due to decrease in bone formation, inadequate bone mineralization or excessive bone deossification
-lack of bone on XR
osteopenia etiology
osteoporosis, malignancies (multiple myeloma), edocrine disorders (thryoid)
osteoporosis
loss of mineralized bone mass causing increased porosity of the skeleton
-increased risk to fractures
-reported using a T score
osteoporosis risk factors
age, women, black women, exercise, low calcium intake, estrogen, genetics, vitamin D deficiency
-exercise may prevent or delay onset by increasing peak bone mass density
osteoporosis patho
-imbalance between bone resorption and formation
-bone resorption exceeds bone formation
-bone begin to resemble fragile structe of fine porcelain vase
-loss of trabeculae, thinning of cortex– minimal stress causes fractures
osteoporosis hormonal factors
-estrogen acts to inhibit bone breakdown and stimulated bone formation
-increase loss of bone= predisposition to fractures
-decreased estrogen levels associated with increase in cytokines that stimulate prodcution of osteoclast precursors
osteoporosis estrogen
normal: estrogen stimulates production of OPG– inhibits the formation of osteoclasts
abnormal: estrogen deficiency– no inhibition of osteoclast producion which leads to excess resporption of bone
-compensatory osteoblastic activity/new bone formation occurs, but doesnt keeppace with bone that is lost
secondary osteoporosis
-malabsorption disorders
-malignancys- secret osteoclast
-alcoholism- direct inhibitor of osteoblasts-activating factor
-medications-corticosteroids cause bone loss
-female athlete triad= disorded eating, amenorrhea, OP
osteoporosis clinical manifestations
dowager hump
decrease in height
increased risk of fractures
diagnosis: DEXA scan
rheumatoid arthritis
- systemic inflammatory disease
-female> male
prevalence increases with age
etiology: genetic predisposition, development of joint inflammation that is immunologically mediated
rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis
T-cell mediated response to immunologic trigger
-aberrant immune response that leads to synovial inflammation and destruction of he joint architecture
-activation of T-helper cells– release of cytokines (TNF-a, IL-1) and antibody formation
Rheumatic arthritis diagnostic lab
presence of rheumatoid factor (RF)
-autoimmune process– macrophages phagocytize immune complexes and release lysosomal capable of causing destructive changes to joint
-extensive new blood vessels in synovial membrane– destructive vascular granulation tissue (pannus)
articular manifestations
-joint involvement symmetric and polyarticular
-pain and stiffness> 30 minutes, lasting for an hour (fingers, hands, wrists, knees, and feet)
clinical manifestations of RA
-neck discomfort, symmetric polyarthritis, eye lesions: episcleritis, scleromalacia
-nonspecific systemic symptoms: low-grade fever, fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite
-hematologic manifestations: elevated ESR and anemia
-lymphadenopathy
-vasculitis, splenomegaly
extra-articular manifestations
-fatigue, weakness, anorexia, weightloss, low grade fever
-elavated ESR rate
-thrombocytosis/anemia
-vasculitis of arteries
systemic lupus erythematosus
chronic inflammatory disease affecting virtually any organ system
-prevalnce related to gender(female), race (african americans), age (15-44) and genetics
environmental triggers to lupus
UV light, chemicals, food, infectious agents
