Musculoskeletal Flashcards
muscle disease & inflammation in response to cell damage
myopathy
inflammation of muscles & associated tissues (blood vessels)
polymyocytitis
residual muscle tension - allows partial continuous contraction of muscles - muscle’s resistance to stretch during resting state
muscle tone
2 systems that can affect MSK disorders
endocrine disorders
metabolic diseases
examples of metabolic diseases affecting MSK
McArdle
Pompe
Myoadenylate deaminise deficiency
Any condition causing inflammation in muscle
myosititis
s/s of myosititis (3)
muscle weakness
trouble climbing stairs, reaching over head
rashes
Shortening & hardening of muscles, tendons, other tissue
contracture
etiology of contracture (3)
nervous disorders, nerve damage
genetic
injury
r/f for contractures (4)
motor dysfunction (hemiplegia, tetraplegia)
CVA
spinal cord injury
immobility
Mechanical unloading of muscle leads to ↓ muscle mass w/o fiber attrition
disuse atrophy
s/s of disuse atrophy (4)
↓ muscle mass
asymmetry in muscle size
weakness
balance difficulty
2 major complications of fractures
fat emboli (FES)
compartment syndrome
FES
more common in ____ fractures
affected bones most likely to cause it
occurs how long after injury?
triad of sx
open fractures
long bones/pelvis
24-72 hours
(1) decreases platelets causing petechiae; (2) tachypnea; (3) confusion
petechiae
confusion
tachypnea
fat embolus triad of sx
cast/bandages cut off blood supply
compartment syndrome
s/s of compartment syndrome
severe pain, distal weakness, numbness, swelling, absent pulses
interventions & tx for compartment syndrome
cut off bandages
fasciotomy
complications of untreated compartment syndrome
ischemia
nerve damage
rhabdomylysis
amputation
5 mechanisms of fractures
compression
tension
bending
torsion
shearing
tendons or ligaments pull off a piece of bone
tension fracture
greenstick fracture
bending fracture in children
spiral fracture
torsion
what kind of fracture is more common in abuse?
what specific fracture almost always indicates abuse?
shearing
Corner metaphyseal fracture (CMF)
Separation of 2 bones at a joint - loss of contact between articulating surfaces
dislocation
contact between articular surfaces partially lost
subluxation
complications of dislocation
nerve or vessel damage
tear in a tendon
strain
tear in a ligament
sprain
grading for strains and sprains
- 1 - stretching of a few muscle fibers
- 2 - more significant damage, some fibers damaged or torn
- 3 - complete rupture
avulsion fracture
ligament/tendon pulls away a piece of bone during a sprain/strain
poor athletic conditioning and lack of stretching are r/f
strain & sprains
may see decreased OR increased ROM
sprain
inflammation of a tendon
tendinopathy/tendonitis
etiology of tendinopathy
overuse
repetitive mvmt
sudden stress
2 kinds of epicondylopathy
- Tennis elbow - lateral (radial side)
- Golfer’s elbow - medial (ulnar side)
epicondylopathy is a type of _____
bursitis
inflammation of bursa
bursitis
types of arthritis that are r/f for bursitis
gouty
rheumatoid
Rapid breakdown of muscle causing release of intracellular contents
rhabdomylysis
etiology of rhabdo
direct or indirect muscle injury
r/f for rhabdo (5)
crush injury
medication (statins)
toxic substance
overexertion
muscular dystrophy
statins increase risk for this muscular problem
rhabdo
s/s of rhabdo (4)
muscle pain
weakness
dark urine (myoglobinuria)
highly elevated creatine kinase levels
2 muscular problems darkened urine could indicate
rhabdo
malignant hyperthermia
complication of rhabdo
renal damage
severe reaction to anesthesia causing fast ↑ in body temp & severe muscle contractions
malignant hyperthermia
r/f for malignant hyperthermia
genetic
s/s of malignant hyperthermia (6)
hyperthermia up to 113*
rigidity
flushing
sweating
tachycardia
brown urine
complications of malignant hyperthermia (5)
clotting
amputations
chronic kidney disease (CKD)
heart problems
death
precursor to osteoporosis
osteopenia
population most affected by osteoporosis & osteopenia
older females
low BMI
