Musculoskeletal conditions Flashcards
1
Q
Facture S+S
A
Pain
Tenderness
Swelling
Bruising
Muscle affects
Mobility
2
Q
Fracture healing stages
A
- stage 1
Hematoma (collection of clotted blood) - stage 2
soft callus = fibrocartilage and fibrous connective tissue form around the break with new blood vessel formation - Stage 3
Harm callus =
Bone tissue replaces soft callus - Stage 4
remodelling
= reshaping hard callus to original bone shape
3
Q
Fracture management
A
- immobilise
- reduction (re-aliging bone)
- fixation
4
Q
what is Osteoporosis and why it occurs
A
- Decrease bone density
- bone resorption is more than done deposition
5
Q
risk factors osteoporosis
A
-Increase in age
- Lifestyle (smoking, decrease activity)
- decrease calcium
- certain drugs
6
Q
what can Osteoporosis lead to
A
- fractures
7
Q
what is Arthritis
A
- inflammation and tissue damage in joints
8
Q
risk factors of Osteoarthritis
A
- increase age
- increase mechanical stress
- inflammation
- joint injury
9
Q
Main process of Osteoarthritis
A
- breakdown in articular cartilage
- damage and inflammation of synovium
- osteophytes build up
= joint stiffness, pain = decrease mobility
10
Q
Arthritis management
A
- anti-inflammatory drugs
- physical therapy
- hydrotherapy
- apply heat/cold
- pain management
