Term | Definition |
long bones | consist of a long, hollow shaft with 2 bulbous ends, such as the humerus & femur |

temporormandibular joint | provides both hinge & gliding movements, controlling the opening of the mouth |
synovial fluid | prevents the articular cartilage on the two surfaces from damaging each other & also provides nutrients to the articular cartilage |
articular (hyaline) cartilage | found in synovial joints at the ends of the bone, provides a smooth surface & slight cushion during movement |
synovial membrane | lines the joint capsule to the edge of the articular cartilages |
articular capsule | composed of the synovial membrane and its outer covering |
fibrous capsule | a tough protective material that extend into the periosteum of each articulating bone |
Bursae | fluid-filled sacs composed of synovial membrane & located between structures such as tendons & ligaments |
proprioceptors | pain receptors |
Electromyograms (EMGs) | measure the electrical charge associated with muscle contraction & are helpful in differentiating muscle disorders from neurologic disease |
Arthroscopy | insertion of a lens directly into a joint |
Complete fracture | bone is broken to form 2 or more separate pieces |
Incomplete fracture | bone is only partially broken |
Open or compound fracture | bone fragments protrude through the skin |
Simple fracture | a single break in the bone in which the bone ends maintain their alignment & position |
Comminuted fracture | in which there are multiple fracture lines & bone fragments |
Compression fracture | common in the vertebrae, occurring when a bone is crushed or collapses into small pieces |
Impacted fracture | occurs when one end of the bone is forced or telescoped into the adjacent bone; for example, the neck of the femur is crushed against the pelvis |
Pathologic fracture | results from a weakness in the bone structure due to conditions such as a tumor or osteoporosis |
Stress fracture | result from repeated excessive stress |
Depressed fracture | occurs in the skull when the broken section is forced inward on the brain |
transverse fracture | a fracture across the bone |
linear fracture | a break along the axis of a bone |
oblique fracture | a break at an angle to the diaphysis of the bone |
spiral fracture | a break that angles around the bone, usually due to a twisting injury |
avulsion | ligaments or tendons that completely separate from their bony attachments |
1st Degree Muscle Tear | involves small percentage of the muscle; pain is mild & doesn't result in any appreciable loss in strength or ROM |
2nd Degree Muscle Tear | involves much of the muscle but stops short of being a complete tear; pain is severe with a substantial loss of strength & ROM |
3rd Degree Muscle Tear | a complete tear across the width of the muscle; there will be a great deal of internal bleeding & may require surgery for proper healing |
Osteoporosis | common metabolic bone disorder characterized by a decrease in bone mass & density, combined with loss of bone matrix & mineralization |
Rickets & Osteomalacia | result from a deficit of Vitamin D & phosphates required for bone mineralization |
Osteomyelitis | a bone infection usually caused by bacteria & sometimes fungi |
Lordosis | spine curving significantly inward at the lower back |
Kyphosis | aka hunchback or humpback, is an abnormally rounded upper back |
Scoliosis | is an S- or C-shaped sideways curve to the spine |
Osteosarcoma | primary malignant neoplasm that usually develops in the metaphysis of the femur, tibia, or fibula in children or young adults |
chrondrosarcomas | arise from cartilage cells and develop more gradually in the pelvic bone or shoulder girdle & eventually metastasize to the lungs |
Muscular Dystrophy | a group of inherited disorders characterized by degeneration of skeletal muscle |
Duchenne's muscular dystrophy | a group of progressive degenerative muscle disorders, often inherited as an X-linked recessive trait, affecting boys |
Osteoarthritis | degenerative or "wear & tear" joint disease; affects weigh bearing joints (hips, knees) |
Rheumatoid arthritis | an autoimmune disorder causing chronic systemic inflammatory disease; remissions & exacerbations; causes inflammation of the synovial membrane |
Rheumatoid factor (RF) | an antibody against immunoglobulin G, as well as other immunologic factors, is present in the blood in the majority of persons with RA |
ankylosis | fixation or immobility at a joint |
uveitis | inflammation of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid (uveal tract) in the eye |
Infectious or septic arthritis | usually involves a single joint; the joint is red, swollen, & painful with decreased ROM; early treatment is required to prevent permanent damage |
Gout | results from deposits of uric acid & urate crystals in the joint that then cause an acute inflammatory response; colchicine may be used during an acute episode |

Tendinitis | the irritation or inflammation of the tendon |
4 Stages of Fracture Healing | 1. Hematoma 2. Fibrocartilaginous callus 3. Bony callus 4. Remodeling |
Functions of bones | -provide support for the body -provide protection of the visera (heart, lungs, spinal cord, & brain) -metabolizes & stores calcium -produces bone marrow where new blood cells are produced |
Bone is made up of? | connective tissue consisting of an intercellular matrix & bone cells |
Complications that affect bone healing | 1. Muscle spasms 2. Infections 3. Ischemia 4. Compartment Syndrome 5. Fat Emboli 6. Nerve damage 7.Failure to heal 8. Fractures |
Emergency treatment for fractures | 1.Cover open wounds with sterile or clean dressings 2.Splint for support 3.Elevate limb slightly & apply cold if possible 4.Keep patient warm 5.Check for signs of shock |
