Pathoanatomy Flashcards
AC Sprain Type I
slight to partial damage of the AC ligament & capsule
AC Sprain Type II
rupture of the AC ligament & partial damage to the coracoclavicular ligament
AC Sprain Type III
complete tearing of the AC ligament & coracoclavicular ligaments; possibe invovlement of the deltoid & trapezius fascia
AC Sprain Type IV
complete tearing of the AC ligament and Coracoclaicular ligaments and tearing of the deltoid and trapezius fascia
AC Sprain Type V and VI
same as Type IV
Hill-Sachs Lesion
caused by anterior dislocations and is a defect in the posterior humeral head’s articular cartilage cuased by the impact of the humeral head ont he glenoid fossa as the humerus attempts to relocate
the shoulder is predisposed to rotator cuff tendinopathy
because of the relatively poor vascularization of the tendons which also hinders the healing process
ape hand deformity
extension of the thumb & alignment in the same plane as the fingers
athlete foot

bankart lesion
damage to the anterior lip of the glenoid

bennett fracture
fracture-dislocation to the proximal end of the first metacarpal at the carpal-metacarpal joint
blow-out fracture
fracture of the orbital floor occuring as a result of a sudden increase in orbital pressure from a direct blow to the eye
