Q

Elaborate on how history is an element of diagnosis and what are the elements within history

A

-can diagnose an injury just based on the elements of history

  • age and sex
  • details of injury
  • training history
  • diet
  • injury history
  • general health
  • work and leisure activities
  • other predisposing factors

  • reflex testing (clinician tap on major tendons)
  • sensory testing (test feeling)
  • motor testing (can they pick something)

  4. Protection from re-injury
  5. Rehabilitation period prior return to sport
53
Q

High risk of recurrence

A
  • 50-90% depending the type of sport and shoulder dominance
  • surgical management (in high risk population)
  • rehabilitation of the shoulder is critical to the long term function
54
Q

Ligament structure

A

dense bands of
collagen tissue
• Collagen, elastin,
proteoglycan, and
other proteins
• Vary in size, shape,
orientation and
location

55
Q

Ligament function

A

function- Connect one bone to
another → Passive
stabilization of the joints
• Ligaments can creep
• Serve important
proprioceptive function

56
Q

Ligament response to injury

A

response to injury- Healing follows the
constant pattern
• Ligament scars have
weaker tensile strength
& poor viscoelastic
properties→ re-injury
risk is very high!
• Ligament injury →
decreased
proprioception

57
Q

if force causes more
than a 4% change of
length, the collagen
fibers will start to
rupture (stress strain curve) TRUE or FALSE

A

if force causes more
than a 4% change of
length, the collagen
fibers will start to
rupture

58
Q

Types of Ligaments

A

Intra-articular ligaments
e.g., Cruciate ligaments of the knee
Extra-articular ligaments
e.g., Calcaneofibular ligament
Capsular ligaments
e.g., Anterior talofibular ligament

59
Q

Adaptation to Training ligament injury

A

Adapt slowly to increased loading, but weaken very
rapidly as a result of immobilization
Adapt to loading by increasing the cross-sectional
area

Normal everyday activity is sufficient to maintain
mechanical properties
Systematic training can increase ligament strength
by 10-20%

60
Q

Joint Stability

A

Depends on the interaction between the passive, active
and neural subsystems
Passive subsystem consists of non-contractile connective
tissues
Active subsystem is controlled by the neural subsystem to
provide dynamic joint stability

61
Q

Mechanisms of Ligament Injuries

A

Typically injured
because of acute
trauma
Sudden overload →
ligament is stretched
out (joint in an
extreme position)
Overuse injuries rare,
but can occur as the
ligament is gradually
stretched out

  • not much support on knee joint, bony anatomy, doesnt provide much
    support, not much passive support
65
Q

66
Q

70
Q

ACL

A

Anterior
Cruciate
Ligament
(ACL) • ACL – 2 bundles
• Anteromedial bundle resists tibial anterior translation
• Posterolateral bundle resists tibial rotation
• No pain fibers, but has proprioceptive fibers
(seperate)

71
Q

physical examination for ACL injury

A
  1. anterior drawer test of the knee 90 degrees 2. lachman test 20-30 degree flex externally rotated 3. Pivot shift test (mimics injury mechanism itself clinician applies valgus force used for acl injuries as well as if it is complete or partial tear)
72

  • mri is rarely needed
  • only used when injuries are more severe ore stuctures that are daaged/ dislocation/bone damage
73
Q

ACL Complications

A

Osteochondral injury
ACL injury and Meniscus tear
Unhappy triad, MCL, ACL LCL
Osteoarthritis in 15-20 years

74
Q

ACL Treatment – Goals and Options

A

Goal is to prevent recurrent
giving way
• To prevent subsequent
injuries, such as
osteochondral injuries and
meniscus injuries
Three options (as for any
unstable joint):
• Modification of activity (no
twisting activity)
• Bracing for light twisting
activity
• ACL reconstruction (ACLR)
• Although functional –never normal

75
Q

ACL
Reconstruction

A

• The graft is weakest at
3 to 6 months!
• High re-injury rates
over 2 years after
reconstruction

76
Q

cross bracing protocol

A
  • The patient’s knee is in brace set at a fixed
    angle of 90-degrees (4 weeks, 24/7)
    Increased extension: 10-15 degrees each
    week (weeks 5-12)
77
Q

Anatomical factors
Biomechanical factors
Neuromuscular factors
Hormonal factors
Training related factors

are ’entangled’ and influence each other. TRUE OR FALSE

A

TRUE

79
Q

Prevention of ACL Injuries

A

Modifiable risk factors
Weak hip abductors an external
rotators

Increased knee abduction moments
during cutting and landing

A

TRUE

81
Q

Two types of bone tissue

A
  1. Trabecular spongy bone (cuboidal bones, flat bones at the ends of bones)
    - 75-95% porosity, found inside bones
  2. Cortical compact bone (forms the outer shell of long bones, its function is strength and protection, low porosity 5-10%
82
Q

A
  • red marrow; produces blood cells
    Children; in most bones
    Adults; flat bones, vertebrae and long bones

-yellow marrow; stores fat
Adults; long bones

84
Q

Function of bone

A

• Bone serves a mechanical purpose
Protects our internal organs
• Provides the body its basic shape
• Facilitates movement
• Provides a framework for support
• Mineral storage (calcium & phosphate)
• Blood cell production
• Fat storage
Hormone regulation (osteocalcin)

85
Q

Bone injury adaptation to training
