Lecture 5 - Tissue Pathophysiology & Healing Flashcards
define an injury
- disruption of the continuity and/or function of tissue in the body
individual/intrinsic injury risk factors
- strength
- fitness
- body comp
- age
- injury history
- playing level
external/extrinsic risk factors
Human Factors
- team mates, opponents
Protective equipment
- helmets, shin guards
Sports Equipement
- skis
Environment
- weather
- floor/turf
- temperature
foundational concept of how does a tissue injury occur
the load exerted on the tissue exceeds the tissue capacity
main structures of a tendon
- collagen microfibres and tropocollagen (type 1)
- endotendon
- epitendon
SEE SLIDE 8
types of tendon injuries
- tendinopathy (tendonitis; don’t really say this anymore)
- tendon rupture
type 1 vs type 3 collagen role in tendon healing
- type 3 is placed down half hazardly (not in same direction as muscle fibres, messy) which has more of an elastic component. type 3 is short term, not good tissue
- type 1 then comes in for a real fix; type 1 is the base unit of tendons and is designed to deal with tensile load in tendons, muscles, and ligaments
list and explain the main stages of tendon healing
- inflammatory stage (up to 7 days)
- phagocytosis of necrotic tissues (clears he way)
- increase of vascular permeability, initiation of angiogenesis and tenocyte proliferation (increase) - remodelling stage (1 - 6wks)
- peak of type 3 collagen, will continue for a few more weeks - Modeling Stage (6+ wks)
3a. Consolidation (6-10 wks)
- change from cellular to fibrous collagen, collagen is aligned in the direction of the stress
3b. Maturation (10+weeks)
- continues to remodel the tissue
list all parts of the muscle
see slide 11
muscle injuries are most common in which muscles
10-55% of athletic injures are muscle injuries
- hamstrings
- adductors
- quadriceps
- calf muscles
types of muscle injuries
- contusions
- sTrains (grade 1 - 3)
- lacerations
explain different muscle strains
Grade 1
- strain usually causes stretching of a few muscle fibres
Grade 2
- more significant damage, more muscle fibres are torn or damaged (less than 50% of muscle)
Grade 3
- a complete (50%> or more) tear/rupture of the muscle
Different phases of muscle healing
- Destruction Phase
- muscle injury > formation of hematoma > inflammatory response - Repair Phase
- phagocytosis of necrotic tissues
- myogenic reserve cells (satellite cells) are activated and become myoblasts, then myoblasts fuse to myotubes
- 5-6 days after the injury the myotube attach both ends of the stump - Remodeling Phase
- formation of contractile
- fibroblasts become myofibroblasts which have contractile capabilities
- scar is formed and becomes stronger over time
types of ligament injuries
sPrains
Grade 1
- minimal to moderate pain, minimal to swelling, strength or ROM deficit
Grade 2
- a lot of pain, moderate decreased strength and ROM, moderate swelling
Grade 3
- maybe a lot of pain or none, severe decrease in strength and ROM, severe swelling
phases of ligaments healing
- inflammatory phase
- ligament tear
- hematoma
- phagocytosis - Repair Phase
- fibroblasts creates type 3 collagen and continues for a week
- increase in glycoaminoglycans > increased water and ligament swelling - Remodelling phase
- formation of a scar
- type 1 collagen replaces type 3
