Q

what is the difference between a serious and a non-life threatening/non-serious injury

A

serious injuries are likely to cause long term problems. Non-life threatening/non-serious is is shorter recovery time and not long lasting but rehabilitation is still necessary

flat
long
short
irregular

31
Q

what type of bone is most commonly injured

A

long bones

32
Q

bone diameter is increased with the activity of osteoclasts or osteoblasts

A

osteoblasts

33
Q

What happens during osteoporosis

A

bones lose thickness and become less resistant to force

34
Q

What is wolff’s law

A

every change in form and function is followed by changes in architectural design

35

A

more

36

the 6 types of bone fractures

A
greenstick
comminuted
linear
transverse
oblique
spiral
37
Q

what type of fracture is common in hockey and skiing

A

spiral fracture

38

stress fractures
avulsion fractures
epiphyseal conditions
Apophyseal injuries

39
Q

what type of bone injury is related to growth plates

A

epiphysial fractures

40
Q

what is an avulsion fracture

A

a bone fragment is separated from cortex via pull of ligament or tendon

41
Q

what do fibrous capsules do

A

provide support

42
Q

The 3 grades of sprain severity

A

Grade I: some pain with minimal loss of function
Grade II: pain, moderate loss of function, some tearing and separation of fibers
Grade III: Extreme pain, close to if not full disruption of fibers

43
Q

What is subluxation

A

synovial joint injury

partial dislocation causing incomplete seperation of two bones

44
Q

What is dislocation

A

synovial joint injury

at least one bone in a joint is forced out of alignment

45
Q

what is the only absolute diagnostic technique for dislocation and why is it important

A

X-ray

need to see if any bone fragments are present from possible avulsion fracture

46
Q

what are the static stabilizing structures of a joint

A

ligaments and joint capsules

47
Q

what are the dynamic stabilizing structures of a joint

A

muscles and related tendons

48
Q

51
Q

what is tendinitis

A

inflammation of the tendon

52
Q

without proper healing, tendinitis can turn into _________.

A

Tendinosis

53
Q

what is the treatment for tendinitis vs tendinosis

A

tendinitis: rest, modified activity, anti inflammatory prescription, progressive overload strength program
tendinosis: stretching and strengthening

54
Q

A

inflammation of the synovial sheath

think of the pinched straw on a string
