QuestionAnswer
What is a fracture? A break in the continuity of a bone
What are the classifications of fractures (there are 6 types)? complete or incomplete, closed or open, comminuted, linear, oblique, spiral
Bone tissue destruction triggers ______ an inflammatory response
A broken bone can cause damage to _____, _____, and ______, resulting in the formation of ____ surrounding tissue, the periosteum, and the blood vessels in the cortex & marrow = hematoma formation
What are the manifestations of bone fractures (there are 7)? unnatural alignment, swelling, muscle spasm, tenderness, pain, impaired sensation & possible muscle spasm
What are the treatments for bone fractures? What is the risk? Closed manipulation, traction and open reduction. Risk of fat embolism during manipulation
A life threatening complication of severe muscle trauma w/ muscle cell loss is called _____ rhabdomyolysis (myoglobinuria)
Causes of rhabdomyolysis are (there are 11): meds, toxins, trauma, heat related, ischemic, exertional, genetic, infectious, inflammatory, metabolic, endocrine
"Porous bone" or poorly mineralized bone is known as ______, which causes the reduction of ______ osteoporosis; bone density
Causes of osteoporosis are (there are 8): genetic, hormonal, metabolic, dietary, life style, drugs, illness, disease
Osteomyelitis is often caused by ______ staphylococcal infection
Most common cause of osteomyelitis is ______, but it can also be caused by _____ open wound (exogenous); can also be caused by blood-borne (endogenous) infection
What are the manifestations of osteomyelitis (there are 4)? acute & chronic inflammation, fever, pain, necrotic bone
What are the treatments for osteomyelitis (there are 4)? antibiotics, debridement, surgery, hyperbaric oxygen therapy
What is also referred to a degenerative joint disease (DJD) & is an age related disorder of the synovial joints? osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is defined as _____ degeneration & loss of articular cartilage, sclerosis of bone underneath cartilage, & formation of bone spurs (osteophytes)
Osteoarthritis is characterized by _____ loss & damage of articular cartilage, especially in load bearing areas; new bone formation of joint margins; subchondral bone changes; & variable degrees of mild synovitus & thickening of the joint capsule
Osteoarthritis is manifested as _____ (there are 6) pain, stiffness, enlargement of the joint, tenderness, limited motion & deformity
Inflammatory joint disease is commonly known as ______ arthritis
Arthritis is characterized by ______ inflammatory damage or destruction in the synovial membrane or articular cartilage & by systemic signs of inflammation (fever, leukocytosis, malaise, anorexia, & hyperfibrinogenemia)
Rheumatoid arthritis is ______, and it has similar symptoms to _______ systemic autoimmune damage to connective tissue, primarily in the joints (synovial membrane); osteoarthritis
Which antibodies against antibodies are present in rheumatoid arthritis? IgG & IgM
What are the treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (there are 8)? rest, hot/cold, PT, anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, immunosuppressants, disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), surgery
Evaluation of rheumatoid arthritis includes the presence of 4 or more of what symptoms? morning joint stiffness lasting at least 1 hr, arthritis of 3 or more joint areas, arthritis of the hand joints, symmetric arthritis, rheumatoid nodules, abnormal amounts of serum rheumatoid factor, radiographic changes
Ankylosing spondylitis is defined as ______ inflammatory joint disease of the spine or sacroiliac joint causing stiffening & fusion of the joints
Ankylosing spondylitis in the _____ or ____ will make these patients difficult to intubate neck or upper thoracic spine
At what age is the onset of ankylosing spondylitis? What are the symptoms Disease can begin in the 20s; low back pain, stiffness, pain & restricted motion
Patients w/ ankylosing spondylitis develop loss of _______ normal lumbar curvature
Where does ankylosing spondylitis begin? What does the disease do to joints? Begins w/ inflammation of fibrocartilage, particularly in the vertebrae & sacroiliac joint. As repair begins, the scar tissue ossifies & calcifies; the joint eventually fuses
What is the treatment for ankylosing spondylitis? exercise to maintain mobility, NSAIDs, disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), surgery
Scoliosis is defined as: A rotational curvature of the spine. A gradual, progressive, rotational deformity of the thoracic spine
How is scoliosis labeled? What are the labels? Labeled according to age of onset. Labels: infantile, juvenile, adolescent
What is the treatment for scoliosis? Between 25-35 degrees = brace. At 40-50 degrees = surgical correction (Harrington rod, evoked potentials vs "wake up" test)
Muscular dystrophy is defined as ______ A group of disorders that cause degeneration of skeletal muscle fibers.
Muscular dystrophy causes _______ Causes progressive, symmetric weakness and wasting of skeletal muscle groups
Muscular dystrophy may be associated with _______ mental retardation
The most common of the muscular dystrophies is _______ Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
How is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy inherited? X-linked recessive inheritance
Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene encodes for ______, which mediates _______ dystrophin protein; mediates the anchorage of the actin cytoskeleton of the skeletal muscle fiber to the basement membrane
When do manifestations of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy begin to appear? between 3-5 years of age
Children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy may climb up their legs, which is called ______, due to ______ Gower sign; due to weakness of lumbar & gluteal muscles
Manisfestations of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy include (there are 8): slow motor development, progressive weakness, muscle wasting, sitting & standing are delayed; the child is clumsy & falls frequently, difficulty climbing stairs, waddling gait, Gower sign (climbing up their legs)
"Benign Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy" is called _______ Becker Muscular Dystrophy
When do manifestations of Becker Muscular Dystrophy begin to appear? clincal symptoms start at 5-15 years of age
Giving succinylcholine to someone with muscular dystrophy may provoke ______. ______ may be life saving during resuscitation a massive hyperkalemic episode that manifests as cardiac arrest. Calcium may be life saving
In muscular dystrophy induction levels of inhalation agents may provoke ______ severe cardiac depression including cardiac arrest due to cardiodepressant effects
