MSK ConditionsFinal Flashcards
laminectomy
spinal decompression; lamina removed; conservative treatment tried first
discectomy
removed portion of IVD; effective for treating radiating pain; microdisectomy =less invasive procedure
artificial disc replacement
maintains mobility in vertebral articulation ; alternative to fusion
ACDF 9anterior cervical disectomy and fusion
none gradt inserted; fusion complete 3-6 mionths post procedure
spinal fusion
PSIF,PLIF,TLIF,ALIF,XLIF
LSO
lumbrasacral orthotic covers lumbar and sacrum
TLSO
thoracic -lumbo-sacral orthotic
CTLSO
cervical -thoraic-lumbar-sacral orthtoic
CTO
cervical thoracic orhtotic
Femoral neck hip fracture
intracapsular, sub capital, spontaneous fx
Symptoms of DVT
swelling in lower extremities, localized redness and low grade fever
UE clavicle fx
FOOSH and shoulder, occurs at shaft; infants passge thru birth canal
humeral fx
radial nerve injury present in about 18%
proximal humeral fx
occurs close to shoulder joints;immoblization
shaft humeral fx
localized at mid portion of humerus surgical versus non-surgical treatment dependent on fx pattern- sarimento brace
supracondylar fx
distal end, just above lateral/medial condyles
ELBOW FX
most common type of upper arm injury in children: fall on outstretched hand (FOOSH)
High risk for complication: malunion; compartment syndrome (Volkmann’s deformity)
RADILA HEAD FX
more frequent in women ;Symptoms: pain on the exterior of the elbow, swelling, difficulty flexing/extending, inability or difficulty to supinate/pronate
lateral epicondylitis
tennis elbow; inflammation to tendons at lateral epicondyle; overuse and muscle strain injury;sypmtoms radiating pain, lateral forearm -wrist
most common affected muscle for lateral epi
extensor capri radialis brevis
medial epi
golfers elbow;inflammation of tendons on median epicondyle; Characterized by pain from elbow to wrist along the medial aspect of the forearm
primarily impacted muscle of medial epi
pronator teres , flexor capri ulnaris
rotator cuff tendonitis
Commonly co-occurring with subacromial bursitis
Symptoms: pain (when lifting and lowering your arm/resting and sleeping), weakness (felt when lifting), crepitus
Diagnosis: XR (changes to bone); MRI (definitive dx)
Treatment: cease ax above shoulder level, NSAIDs, HEP
rotator cuff tear
Partial thickness: incomplete, damaged tendon
Full thickness: complete, separated from bone
Injury versus degenerative
Treatment – surgical: continued main indicator, reattach tendon to bone, arthroscopic or open, recovery time varies: 6 to 9 months on average
