    Study Notes

    Musculoskeletal Trauma

    • Basic concepts of the musculoskeletal system

      • Describe main functions of bones
      • Differentiate types of bone cells
      • Describe bone growth and remodeling processes
      • Differentiate ligaments and tendons
    • Basic pathophysiologic concepts of musculoskeletal trauma

      • Differentiate between a sprain and a strain
      • Bone fractures (explain 7 types)
      • Bone healing (understanding phases and factors affecting healing, including malunion, delayed union, nonunion)
      • Complications of fractures (malunion, delayed union, nonunion, compartment syndrome, fat embolism, avascular necrosis (AVN))
      • Compartment syndrome, fat embolism, AVN (note that compartment syndrome is an emergency)
