A

Transmetacarpal

28
Q

T or F: The procedure of amputation can be determined by the PT

A

False (Determined by surgeon)

29
Q

Consideration for length of residual limb is what should be _

30
Q

Identify: If there is enough blood supply in the area to be viable enough to support the limb and musculature left behind

A

Vascularization

31
Q

Identify the 3 things to consider in the procedure for amputation

A
  1. Length of residual limb
  2. Vascularization
  3. Prosthetic fitting
32
Q

Identify: Removed everything at the level of amputation (skin bones)

33
Q

Identify: Cuts off the bone but there’s a remaining skin flap left behind to cover the parts that were left

34
Q

Enumerate the 4 types of skin flaps

A
  1. Sagittal
  2. Posterior
  3. Skewed
  4. Fishmouth
35
Q

Identify: Suture on the frontal plane

36
Q

Identify: Diagonal, Anterior and posterior flap sutured

37
Q

Identify: There is skin left on the posterior side and it is pulled to cover the remaining parts.

38
Q

If distal part is amputated, it will be free. It may protract then the muscle will not be usable anymore

A. First statement is true, second statement is false
B. Second statement is true, first statement is false
C. Both statements are true
D. Both statements are false

A

A

it may retract

39
Q

Identify: muscle to muscle

40
Q

Identify: muscle to fascia

A

Myofascial

41
Q

Identify: muscle to bone (residual part of limb)

42
Q

Identify: tendon is attached to the bone if may residual part pa ng same muscle

43
Q

Once healed, you can see the preserved movement/function of the muscles. When considering the healing of amputations it is not just the healing of the soft tissues but also will have the bone

A. First statement is true, second statement is false
B. Second statement is true, first statement is false
C. Both statements are true
D. Both statements are false

44
Q

Resistance exercises will not be hard and painful for the patient when the bone is healed. Muscle may still produce their movement but can do different function/action compared to the previous one.

A. First statement is true, second statement is false
B. Second statement is true, first statement is false
C. Both statements are true
D. Both statements are false

A

B

Resistance exercises will be hard and painful

45
Q

If attached in a different angle = expect a different angle of pull, hence different movement. Since the muscles have different orientations and if it is attached to a muscle with an orientation different from its own then it will pull in a different way

A. First statement is true, second statement is false
B. Second statement is true, first statement is false
C. Both statements are true
D. Both statements are false

46
Q

Surgeons determine the shape of the stump. We educate the family to maintain the shape of the stump

A. First statement is true, second statement is false
B. Second statement is true, first statement is false
C. Both statements are true
D. Both statements are false

A

B

PTs determine the shape of the stump

Q

Important for the prosthesis to have a proper fit with the stump to avoid poor fit and irritation. Dog ears may get compressed

A. First statement is true, second statement is false
B. Second statement is true, first statement is false
C. Both statements are true
D. Both statements are false

48
Q

In a new amputee, they can heal in the same position so it can maintain the shape. Use compression stockings and bandages to shape the stump

A. First statement is true, second statement is false
B. Second statement is true, first statement is false
C. Both statements are true
D. Both statements are false

A

B

they can heal in a different position so it can change the shape

49
Q

Identify the 2 interventions that can be used to shape the stump

A

compression stockings and bandages

50

Identify the shape of stump: Length of proximal and distal part are equal and is usually seen in BKA

A

Cylindrical

52

Identify the shape of stump: Distal segment of residual limb is wider than proximal segment

53
Q

Identify: Below elbow amputation; ulna and radius are separated

A

Krukenberg amputation

54
Q

A below elbow amputation is known as a Krukenberg amputation. This is when the ulna and humerus are separated

A. First statement is true, second statement is false
B. Second statement is true, first statement is false
C. Both statements are true
D. Both statements are false

A

A

ulna and radius are separated

55
Q

Identify the type of reduction: Whole limb is not present

56
Q

Identify the type of reduction: Middle segment is absent

A

57
Q

Identify the type of reduction: There is development but only to a certain level.

58
Q

Identify the type of reduction: Segment distal to one point is absent
