Question
Answer
Trama   physical injury or wound, produced by internal or external force  
🗑
Mechanical injury   results from force or mechanical energy that changes state of rest or uniform motion of matter  
🗑
Yield point   Point at which elasticity is almost exceeded is the yield point  
🗑
When yield point is far exceeded   mechanical failure occurs resulting in damage  
🗑
Compression   Force that results in tissue crush – two forces applied towards one another  
🗑
Tension   Force that pulls and stretches tissue  
🗑
Shearing   Force that moves across the parallel organization of tissue  
🗑
Bending   Already bowed structures encounter axial loading  
🗑
Torsion   Loads caused by twisting in opposite directions from opposite ends  
🗑
Muscle Strains   Stretch tear or rip to muscle or adjacent tissue  
🗑
Muscle Cramps   Painful involuntary skeletal muscle contraction Occurs in well-developed individuals when muscle is in shortened position Experienced at night or at rest  
🗑
Muscle Guarding   Following injury, muscles within an effected area contract to splint the area in an effort to minimize pain through limitation of motion Involuntary muscle contraction in response to pain following injury  
🗑
Tendon   Wavy parallel collagenous fibers organized in bundles  
🗑
Tenosynovitis   Inflammation of synovial sheath. Chronic cases result in thickening of tendon with pain and crepitus Often occurs in long flexor tendon of the digits and the biceps tendon  
🗑
Atrophy   Atrophy is wasting away of muscle due to immobilization, inactivity, or loss of nerve functioning  
🗑
Contracture   an abnormal shortening of muscle where there is a great deal of resistance to passive stretch  
🗑
synovial joint characteristics   hyaline or articular cartilage and a fibrous connective tissue capsule.Capsule and ligaments for support Capsule is lined with synovial membrane Hyaline cartilage Joint cavity with synovial fluid Blood and nerve supply with muscles crossing joint  
🗑
Ligament Sprains   Result of traumatic joint twist that causes stretching or tearing of connective tissue  
🗑
Subluxations   Partial dislocations causing incomplete separation of two bones Bones come back together in alignment  
🗑
Dislocations   High level of incidence in fingers and shoulder Occurs when at least one bone in a joint is forced out of alignment and must be manually or surgically reduced Gross deformity is typically apparent with bilateral comparison revealing asymmetry  
🗑
Bursitis   Sudden irritation can cause acute bursitis, while overuse and constant external compression can cause chronic bursitis  
🗑
Bursa   fluid filled sacs that develop in areas of friction  
🗑
Capsulitis   result of repeated joint trauma  
🗑
Synovitis   can occur acutely but will also develop following mistreatment of joint injury  
🗑
Flat bones   skull, ribs, scapulae  
🗑
Irregular bones   vertebrae and skull  
🗑
Short Bones   wrist and ankle  
🗑
Long bones   humerus, ulna, tibia, radius, fibula, femur - bones most commonly injured  
🗑
Diaphysis   -shaft - hollow and cylindrical - covered by compact bone - medullary cavity contains yellow marrow and lined by endosteum  
🗑
Epiphysis   composed of cancellous bone and has hyaline cartilage covering - provides areas for muscle attachment  
🗑
Periosteum   - dense, white fibrous covering which penetrates bone via Sharpey’ fibers - contains blood vessels and osteoblasts  
🗑
Closed fracture   there is little movement or displacement  
🗑
Open fracture   involve displacement of the fractured ends and breaking through the surrounding tissue  
🗑
Types of fractures   Greenstick Comminuted Linear Transverse Oblique Spiral Impacted Depressed  
🗑
