Study Notes
Musculoskeletal Function
- The body has 206 bones.
- Bones provide structure, support, and mobility.
- They facilitate blood return to the heart.
- They store minerals.
- Bone cells include osteoblasts (formation), osteocytes (maintenance), and osteoclasts (destruction and remodeling).
- Bone formation (ossification, osteogenesis) begins before birth.
- Stress, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and blood supply regulate bone formation and maintenance.
- Bone healing stages: Hematoma, fibrocartilaginous callus, bony callus, and remodeling.
- Estrogen enhances bone formation, while testosterone supports bone growth and muscle mass.
- Growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) are essential for bone modeling in youth. Low levels can lead to osteopenia with aging.
Joints
- Joints are articulations where two or more bones connect.
- Synarthrosis joints are immovable.
- Amphiarthrosis joints allow limited movement.
- Diarthrosis joints permit free movement.
- Joint types include ball and socket, hinge, saddle, pivot, and gliding.
- Other joint structures include joint capsules, ligaments, tendons, and bursae.
- Fractures heal in stages: hematoma formation, inflammation, fibrocartilaginous callus formation, bony callus formation, and remodeling.
Muscles
- Muscle contraction is initiated by electrical stimulation.
- Myosin and actin filaments slide, causing contractions.
- Isotonic contractions involve muscle shortening without changing tension.
- Isometric contractions involve maintaining muscle length while increasing tension.
- ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy source for muscle contraction.
- In intense exercise, glucose is converted to lactic acid, which can lead to muscle fatigue.
- Myoglobin helps transport oxygen in muscle cells.
- Muscles with more myoglobin (red muscles) contract slowly and strongly, while those with less (white muscles) contract quickly.
- Muscle tone is a slight contraction that maintains posture.
Common Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Pain, tenderness, and altered sensations are common symptoms.
- Pain can be described as dull, sharp, sore, and related to bone, muscle, or joint issues.
- Rest typically alleviates musculoskeletal pain; activity-related pain may indicate underlying issues.
- Nursing assessments evaluate pain, body alignment, joint symmetry, inflammation, and external pressures.
- Conditions like osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and fracture risk can be assessed using the FRAX tool.
- Common spinal abnormalities include kyphosis (hunchback) and lordosis (swayback).
- Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curve in the spine.
Diagnostic Tests
- Radiographs, CT scans, MRI, arthrography, bone densitometry, bone scans, arthroscopy, arthrocentesis, EMG, biopsy, and laboratory studies are used for diagnosis.
- These tests aid in identifying bone structure/tissue changes, tumors, injuries, fractures, and bone mineral density.
Nursing Interventions
- Nursing interventions encompass patient education and management of pain or discomfort.
- Pain management involves medication, splinting, elevating affected areas to reduce swelling, and assistive devices.
- Interventions for specific conditions may involve specialized care.
- Treatment will vary depending on the condition, and the specific intervention will be targeted to the condition.
Fracture Risk
- The fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) predicts the 10-year risk of fractures.
- The risk of fractures is primarily affected by factors like age, sex, prior fractures, family history, body weight, smoking, and alcohol consumption and other specific health issues and diseases
