Q

What is trauma and how does it occur?

A
  1. Physical injury or wound produced by External or Internal force.
  2. Occurs when force is greater than the tissue can withstand.

Q

Acute vs Chronic injury

A
  1. Acute injuries only last for a short period of time. (sudden onset)
  2. Chronic injuries are long term injuries.

Q

What is Hooke’s Law

A
  1. Strain is proportional to the stress producing it (as long as the strain is not too great - once that limit is exceeded, change occurs)

Q

What is Plastic Change?

A
  1. Change in the tissue that lasts after load is removed.
  2. When this occurs over time, it is called creep.

Q

Compression

A
  1. External loads are applied toward on another on opposite sides of the structure.
  2. Shortens and widens the structure.

15
Q

Tension

A
  1. Force that pulls or stretches tissue
16
Q

Shearing

A
  1. Equal load is applied to apposing surfaces forcing those surfaces to move in parallel directions.
17
Q

Bending

A
  1. External force is applied to a joint causing a bend.
18
Q

Torsion

A
  1. Twisting in opposite directions from opposite ends of a structure cause a shear stress over the entire cross section of that structure.
19
Q

Soft tissue vs. Hard tissue

A
  1. Hard tissue: Bone fracture
  2. Soft tissue:
    a. Ligament
    b. Muscle
    c. Cartilage
    d. Bursa
    e. Nerve
20
Q

What are the functions of Bones?

A
  1. Protects organs
  2. Stores minerals
  3. Helps as lever to provide movement to skeletal muscles.
21
Q

What is cortical in the bone?

A
  1. Dense outer surface of skeletal bone.
  2. High resistance to bending and torsion.
22
Q

What is trabecular in the bone?

A
  1. Internal tissue of bone (spongy)
  2. House bone marrow
23
Q

What are the 6 fracture classifications?

A
  1. Greenstick: incomplete break, usually adolescents.
  2. Comminuted: 3 or more fragment sites
  3. Linear: Jumping from a height, line going straight down.
  4. Transverse: Direct blow
  5. Oblique: Torsion or twisting
  6. Spiral: Rotational/twisting force
24
What is the Epiphyseal plate?
1. Growth plate of Bone 2. Housed on the end of each bone. 3. Determines the future growth and shape of each bone.
25
Osteoarthritis
1. Degenerative joint disease in which the tissues in the joint break down over time.
26
Ligament
Bone to Bone
27
Tendon
Muscle to bone
28
Sprain
Ligament
29
Strain
Muscle or tendon
30
What are the degrees of injury?
1. Grade 1: Stretch, ligament stretched or slightly torn 2. Grade 2: Partial Tear, Ligaments partially torn 3. Grade 3: Complete rupture, ligaments completely torn.
31
Hyaline Cartilage location and function
1. Helps bones move smoothly past each other in your joints. 2. Most common type of cartilage found on joints, ribs, nose, etc.
32
Fibrocartilage location and function
1. Location: Meniscus in knee, discs between vertebrae, supporting muscles, tendon, ligaments. 2. Function: Consists of tissue that provides smooth surface for articulation and to facilitate transmission of loads with low friction
33
Connective Tissue
1. Found in joints and intervertebral disc, acts as shock absorber.
34
Circumferential Cartilage
1. Present in the form of a ring to improve bony fit
35
Labrum
1. Type of cartilage found in shoulder and hip joint, provides support
36
Bursa (bursitis)
1. Small fluid filled sac that reduce friction between moving parts in joints
