Gen Dx Flashcards
Pain pattern that is: -sharp -stabbing -well demarcated Ex: disc herniation
Dermatogenous
Pain pattern with areas known as TrP refer pain to distant site.
Ex: Myofascial pain syndromes
Myotogenous
Pain pattern that is referred from somatic structures, such as cartilage, ligaments joint capsules/bones. Pain that is: -dull -achy -diffuse -difficult to pinpoint Ex: Referred pain from spine
Sclerotogenous
5 cardinal signs of inflammation:
redness heat pain swelling loss of fx (will not always see them all)
Typical signs of malignancy:
constant pain pain worse at night lumps/growths unexplained weight loss unwarranted fatigue
___ degree sprain is a tear of a minimum number of ligamentous fibers resulting in localized tenderness, without instability.
1st
___ degree sprain is a tear of a greater number of ligamentous fibers that results in a greater loss of fx and joint rxn, but is still without instability.
2nd
___ degree spreain is a complete tear of ligament with joint instability (Ex: patient may hear it pop-classic ACL sprain)
3rd
____ deg strain is minimal stretching of the musculotendonous unit without permanent injury, typically accompanied by swelling.
1st
____ deg strain is partial tearing of musculotendonous unit accompanied by ecchymosis (bruising/bleeding)
2nd
___ deg strain is a complete disruption of a portion of the musculotendonous unit, accompanied by swelling, bleeding and localized discomfort, may even cause temporary disability and may have a palpable defect in the muscle.
-dent in quads
3rd
_____ is inflammation of the synovial sheath surrounding a tendon.
- usually found in the hands and feet, can affect long head of biceps
- can develop adhesions, leading to loss of fx
tenosynovitis
If have myositis ossificans (secondary to trauma that isn’t allowed to heal properly), the management of it is:
Day of injury: ice
Days 3-4: sit in hot tub and slowly flexing and extending muscle to remove hematoma and won’t develop calcification nd then ossification
Tx for bursitis:
Immediately: ice
3-4 days: US
Pes anserine bursitis is MC caused by:
PI ilium
(PI ilium stretches sartorius and puts pressure on the bursa
______: Paralysis of arm due to trauma during delivery. Affects C5/6. Arm hangs at side in elbow extension and wrist flexion.
Erb’s palsy
Orthos for Shoulder dislocation:
- Dugas
- Apprehension
_____ is the most commonly injured shoulder muscle.
supraspinatus
Ortho tests for shoulder tendonitis:
Speeds
Yergason
Biceps tendinitis orthos:
Transverse humerus lig test
Yergasons
Speeds
Neurologic disorder affecting CNS, PNS, ANS that usually occurs secondary to fractures, sprains, and trivial soft tissue injury. Fingers puffy, pale, pitting edema, persistent, intense burning pain.
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (aka CRPS)
_____: tear of extensors due to racquet/grip, carrying heavy bags, excessive hammering/screwing; palpable tenderness, worse with wrist extension and relieved by rest/stimulus.
lateral epicondylitis
tennis elbow
Lateral epicondylitis orthos:
Cozens
Mills
____: painful wrist flexion & pronation, gripping/handshaking, relieved by rest; throwing a pitch in baseball
medial epicondylitis
