Study Notes
Chapter 13: General Injuries and Fractures
- Acute injury: Sudden onset from a specific event
- Articular cartilage: Smooth tissue at joint surfaces for movement
- Avulsion fracture: Ligament/tendon pulls bone fragment
- Bursae: Fluid-filled sacs reducing friction
- Chronic injury: Gradual onset, repetitive stress
- Closed fracture: Bone breaks but skin remains intact
- Comminuted fracture: Bone shatters into pieces
- Contusion: Bruise from blunt force
- Crepitus: Crackling/grating sensation
- Dislocation: Joint displacement
- Fractures: Breaks in bone
- Greenstick fracture: Incomplete fracture in children
- Linear fracture: Fracture along bone length
- Mechanoreceptors: Sensors detecting body movement
- Muscle cramps: Sudden, painful contractions
- Muscle guarding: Muscle contraction protecting an area
- Myositis ossificans: Bone growth in muscle due to trauma
- Neuritis: Nerve inflammation
- Open fracture: Bone breaks through the skin
- Oblique fracture: Angled fracture
- Osteoarthritis: Joint cartilage breakdown
- Osteoblasts: Cells building new bone
- Osteoclasts: Cells breaking down bone
- Spiral fracture: Twisting bone break
- Sprain: Ligament injury
- Strain: Muscle/tendon injury
- Stress fracture: Small, repetitive force fractures
- Subluxation: Partial joint dislocation
- Tendinitis: Tendon inflammation
- Tendon: Tissue connecting muscle to bone
- Tenosynovitis: Tendon sheath inflammation
- Transverse fracture: Straight-line fracture across bone
- Trigger point: Tight, tender muscle spot
Chapter 14: Foot Injuries
-
SOAP NOTES: Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan
- S: patient's report
- O: observations by clinician
- A: diagnosis
- P: treatment plan
-
Bones in a foot:
- Tarsals: 7
- Metatarsals: 5
- Phalanges: 14
- Orthotics: Custom foot supports
-
Plantar fasciitis:
- Cause: Repetitive strain on plantar fascia
- Signs/Symptoms: Heel pain, stiffness
- Care: Stretching, arch supports, rest
-
Jones fracture:
- Cause: Overuse or trauma near the 5th metatarsal
- Signs/Symptoms: Pain, swelling
- Care: Immobilization, possible surgery
-
Turf toe:
- Cause: Hyperextension of the big toe
- Signs/Symptoms: Pain, swelling
- Care: Taping, rest
Chapter 15: Ankle
- Bones in ankle complex: Tibia, Fibula, Talus
-
Ligaments:
- Lateral group: ATFL, CFL, PTFL
- Medial group: Deltoid ligament
- Prevention methods: Proper shoes, strengthening exercises, taping/bracing, avoid uneven surfaces, gradual activity increase
-
Special tests:
- Bump test: Checks for fractures. Positive: Pain
- Anterior drawer: Tests ATFL integrity. Positive: Excessive motion.
- Talar tilt: Tests CFL stability. Positive: Laxity.
Chapter 16: Knee
- Four bones of the knee: Femur, Tibia, Fibula, Patella
- Meniscus: Crescent-shaped cartilage cushioning and stabilizing the joint
- Four major ligaments of the knee: ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL
- Varus force: Pushes knee outward (stresses LCL)
- Valgus force: Pushes knee inward (stresses MCL)
- Shoes and rotational stiffness: Shoes with high rotational stiffness increase risk of knee injuries by limiting natural movement.
Chapter 17: Hip
- Bones of the pelvis: Three bones on each side (ilium, ischium, pubis) joined in the middle by two bones (sacrum, coccyx)
- Functions of the pelvis: Supports upper body, protects internal organs, provides attachment for muscles
- Muscle groups of the pelvis: Gluteal muscles, hip flexors, adductors, hamstrings
Additional Information (Chapters 13-17)
- Special tests (knee): Valgus stress test, Varus stress test, Lachman's test, Anterior drawer test, Posterior drawer test, Apley's compression test
- Common knee injuries: MCL sprain, LCL sprain, ACL sprain
- PCL sprain: Direct blow to the front of the knee, signs: pain, swelling, difficulty with knee flexion
- Meniscus injury: Twisting or pivoting on a bent knee, signs: locking, clicking, or pain
- Patellar dislocation/subluxation: Direct impact or twisting motion, signs: deformity, pain, swelling
-
Quadriceps:
- Quad contusion: Direct impact, signs: bruising, swelling, pain, care: RICE, padding, gradual rehab
- Quad strain: Sudden forceful contraction, signs: pain, swelling, difficulty with movement, care: RICE, rehab
- Dislocated hip: High-impact trauma, signs: pain, deformity, inability to move, care: immediate medical assistance
-
Piriformis syndrome: Compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle, signs: radiating pain, numbness
- Care: Stretching, massage, anti-inflammatories
