MSK.LabFinal Flashcards
OA/RA interventions acute
inflammation;focus on gentle PROM/AROM to poinf pain, no stretch
Subacute interventions OA/RA
PROM/ARON gentle stretch, graded isometric/iostonic, limits stress on joints
CHRONIC ACTIVE OR INACTIVE Interventions
stretch at end range, resisitive isometric exercises
bicipital tendonitis
long head biceps tendon; pain above 90 degrees flexion; tendon sheath thickens → tendon itself thickens; occasionally the damage leads to a tendon tear; usually occurs comorbidity with other conditions
Distal biceps tendonitis
pain at the palpable distal biceps tendon; pain with resisted elbow flexion & supination; common in laborers, gymnasts, and weight lifters; can lead to a tendon tear
distal triceps tendonitis
pain at the palpable distal triceps tendon; pain with resisted elbow extension; common in laborers, weight-lifters, throwers
(tendons); can lead to a tendon tear
cubital tunnel syndrome can cause
Chronic cubital tunnel syndrome can lead to muscle atrophy and significant hand dysfunction: claw hand, Wartenberg sign, froment sign
radial tunnel syndrome
entrapment of the PIN branch of the radial nerve in the radial tunnel; rate condition; difficult to distinguish from lateral epicondylitis;
radial tunnel syndrome symptoms
insidious onset, described as a deep ache in the proximal forearm, pain is worse with forearm rotation & lifting activities (e.g. turning a screwdriver, twisting ties), weakness is from pain not muscle paralysis, no sensory disturbances
Ligament instability: the ulnar collateral ligament
excessive valgus stress leads to tearing of the ligaments, and chronic cases will increase valgus carrying angle; symptoms = pain at the medial aspect of the elbow, pain with overhead activities or weight bearing, pain with throwing, can have associated ulnar nerve issues and paraesthesias
Ligament instability: lateral collateral ligament
can lead to excessive varus “gunstock deformity;” symptoms: pain at the lateral aspect of the elbow
flexor tendon einjury to zone 1
Zone 1: jersey finger
Zone II Flexor
“No man’s land” high rate of adhesions due to FDS and FDP in the same tendon sheath
Flexor Zone III
higher risk of neurovascular injury, higher complication rate
flexor zoNE iv
higher adhesions due to tight quarters in carpal tunnel
Flexor Zone V
multiple tendon injuries – spaghetti wrist
Flexor Zone T1,T2
THUMB
EXTENSOR TENDON injuries
outcomes are more favorable than flexor tendon injuries, tendon adhesions will lead to loss of finger flexion, treatment is based on zone of injury
Extensor Zone I AND II
mallet finger
Extensor zone III and IV
boutonneire
Extensor ZOne V
sagittal band injury & fight bite injury
EXTENSOR ZONE vi
NERVE INVOLVEMENT LIKELY
Extensor Zone VII
inviolves extensor tendon sheaths
Zone VIII Extensor
muscle belly involvement
Extensor Zone TV
Thumb ELP at LIsters Tuberaclecle
Boutonneire deformity
zone 3 extensor tendon injury; disruption of the central slip causes the lateral bands to attenuate to the sides of the PIP joint; this causes the extensor mechanisms to act as flexors on the PIP joint
