musculoskeletal 1; injuries and fractures Flashcards
lateral deviation of the spine
scoliosis
scoliosis
lateral deviation of the spine
dorsiflexion deformity
talipes calcaneus
fracture with multiple fracture lines and bone pieces
comminuted fracture
hemorrhage
bleeding profusely under skin from ruptured vessel
break in skin
laceration
outward bowing of knees
genu varum
large local bleeding under skin
skin may break from pressure
happens when bone marrow leaks after a bone break
hematoma
anterior means
front
spine curvatures include
scoliosis
lordosis
lyphosis
two oblique fracture lines meeting to create an isolated wedge-shaped bone segment
butterfly fracture
spiral fracture
fracture that twists around bone shaft
common from gymnast/ dancer
genu varum
outward bowing of knees
an incomplete fracture where the bone is bent and and only the outer curve of the bend is broken;
common in children
greenstick fracture
upper thorax of spine is bent posteriorly
kyphosis
genu valgum
inward bowing in knee
hematoma
large local bleeding under skin
skin may break from pressure
happens when bone marrow leaks from bone break
contusion
bruise from broken blood vessel under skin
torsional deformities include
in-toeing/ out-toeing
internal/ external tibial torsion
internal/ external femoral torsion
multiple pinpoint breaks in skin (like rug burn)
abrasion
toes are lower than heel
plantarflexion
impacted fracture
broken bones are jammed together by the force of the injury
dorsiflexion meaning
heel is lower than toes
oblique fracture
fracture at an angle to bone shaft
foot everted at heel
talipes valgus
