Q

what is avascular necrosis

A

death of the bone due to a disruption of the blood supply to the area

100
Q

prevention of function when in cast:

A

move joints above and below fracture site; increase circulation
perform isometric and isotonic exercises

101
Q

prevention of function when out of cast

A

stretching and strengthening exercise of the affected joints
gradual return to normal functional activities and sports

102
Q

what is a stress/fatigue fracture

A

a micro fracture that is secondary to repeated stress

starts small and gets larger if untreated

103
Q

subjective history or a stress fracture

A

as per the diagnosis of fractures but the patient usually cannot report a single traumatic event causing the pain

104
Q

objective physical assessment of a stress fracture

A

initially pain is present with activity but decreases with rest (early stages )
constant pain through the day and at night (later stage)

105
Q

x-ray as a diagnosis test

A

a stress fracture is not visualized initially but may be present after one month post injury

106
Q

bone scan as a diagnosis test

A

the most definitive diagnostic tools for stress fractures

107
Q

what is a dislocation

A

complete displacement of the end of a bone from the joint usually injuring the joint capsule, ligament and the surrounding musculature

108
Q

with dislocation is there a limited ROM

A

yes grossly

109
Q

is there any deformity and swelling with a dislocation

110
Q

marked ______ impairment with dislocations

A

functional

111
Q

what is the treatment for dislocations

A
  • splint and immobilize the affected joint in position that it is found and seek medication attention
  • reduction of the dislocation by the attending physician
112
Q

what is subluxation

A

a partial displacement of the end of a bone from the joint , sleeping on your neck the wrong way

113
Q

what are the three phases of fracture healing

A

acute inflammatory phase
proliferation phase
remodeling phase

114
Q

how long is the acute inflammatory phase for fractures

115
Q

how long is the proliferative phase for fractures

A

8-10 weeks in adults

4-6 weeks in children

116
Q

how long does the remodeling phase take

117
Q

in the proliferative phase in fractures how long does it take to form a immature form of bone

A

2 weeks in children

4 weeks in adults

118
Q

what is a indication

A

a condition that could benefit from the use of a specific modality

119
Q

what is a contraindication

A

a condition that is adversely affected if a particular modality is used

120
Q

what is a electromagnetic spectrum

A

all modalities fall under electromagnetic spectrum (except ultrasound)

121
Q

what is electromagnetic energy

A

therapeutic modalities are part of the electromagnetic

122
Q

what are the two electromagnetic energy

A

ionizing range

non-ionizing range

123
Q

what is ionizing range

A

can alter the components of atoms (radiation) not used by most healthcare professionals

124
Q

what is non-ionizing range

A

incorporates ultraviolet, visible and infrared light used in management of musculoskeletal injuries

125
Q

what is cryotherapy

A

multiple types of cold application including the use of ice cubes, cold gel packs, cold water

126
Q

what spectrum does cold application fall under

A

infrared radiation spectrum

127
Q

what is vasoconstriction [cryotherapy]

A

decreases capillary permeability, circulation and blood flow to the area

128
Q

what is increases absorption [cryotherapy]

A

decreases the swelling and fluid already present in the tissue assisting with healing and absorption

129
Q

what is decrease muscle spasm [cryotherapy]

A

as a result of the increased relaxation time and decreased conduction rate the muscle cannot contract as much and it is slower to contract when it does

130
Q

what is decrease tissue O2 demand [cryotherapy]

A

reduction in tissue hypoxia

for heart surgery they induce hypothermia, controlling oxygen demands

131
Q

what is the hunting response [cryotherapy]

what are the 9 elements in the acute inflammatory phase in the soft tissue healing

A
  • blanching of the skin as the site does not bleed immediately
  • vasoconstriction (first 10mins to try and coagulate)

  • coagulation cascade affects clot formation
  • followed by increase in blood flow for the next 5-60 minutes
  • redness, heat, swelling, pain and loss of function is evident with an increase in blood flow to the area
  • chemical and cellular events occur in which macrophages and neutrophils and various kinins released in the area
  • mass cell release (heparin- thins the blood and prolong clotting; histamine- promotes further vasodilation; Bradykinin- opens blood vessel walls and causes pain)
