Midterm Study Material Flashcards
General Anatomy
humerus, radius/ulna; femur, tibia/fibula or tibiotarsus,
tarsometatarsus
Osteomyelitis
inflammation or swelling that occurs in the bone
Mal-Union
when a fractured bone heals in an abnormal position; can make the bone look bent (especially the radius/ulna)
Judicious Antibiotic Use
“antibiotic stewardship”
General Antibiotic Considerations
which bacteria suspected and where
Anti-Microbial Resistance
decreasing the effectiveness of antimicrobial drugs
Fenbendazole
anti-parasite
Gabapentin

Enrofloxacin
anti-biotic
Amoxicillin Clavulanate

First Intention Healing
epithelial tissue; no granulation
Second Intention Healing
granulation tissue; +- scar tissue
Lavage
flush out debris, remove bacteria (caution: coelum)
Topical for Wound
SSD, aloe, vetricyn, sugar honey (anti-bacterial)
VAC
vacuum assisted closure
Other Wound Management Techniques
sterile maggots, laser, acupuncture
Saline
isotonic, non-toxic, may not be as good at cleaning dirty wounds
