Flashcards
Adhesive Capsulitis
Adhesive Capsulitis
A condition where the joint capsule surrounding the shoulder becomes inflamed and stiff, limiting range of motion. It's more common in middle-aged individuals, especially women.
Ankle Sprain - Lateral - Grade II
Ankle Sprain - Lateral - Grade II
An injury to the ligaments on the outside of the ankle, typically caused by rolling the ankle inward. Grade II involves partial tearing of the ligaments, causing pain and tenderness.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Sprain - Grade III
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Sprain - Grade III
A complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which connects the thighbone to the shinbone. It often occurs due to sudden movements like twisting, hyperextension, or landing awkwardly.

Study Notes
Adhesive Capsulitis
- Occurs more in middle-aged females
- Arthrogram detects decreased fluid volume
- Restricted range of motion, capsule pattern
Ankle Sprain - Lateral - Grade II
- Caused by significant inversion
- Primarily affects anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL)
- Pain/tenderness on lateral ankle
- Full recovery expected within a few weeks
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Sprain - Grade III
- Common during hyperflexion/rapid deceleration
- More common in females involved in athletic activities
- Approximately two-thirds of complete tears involve meniscus
Bicipital Tendonitis
- Higher incidence in athletes (baseball, tennis, etc.)
- Deep ache in front of shoulder, worsening with activity
- Positive Speed's or Yergason's test
Lateral Epicondylitis
- Inflammation/degeneration at common extensor tendon
- Repeated wrist extension overuse
- Microscopic tearing of extensor tendons
- Difficulty holding/gripping objects
Medial Collateral Ligament Sprain - Grade II
- Partial tear of ligament
- Typically from blow to the outside of the knee
- Decreased functional level until structures heal
Osteoarthritis
- Primarily affects joints
- More common in older women
- Diagnosed based on symptoms, x-rays (evidence of degeneration)
Patellofemoral Syndrome
- Damage to the articular cartilage
- Unknown cause, possibly activity-related
- Pain management involves controlling activity level
Plantar Fasciitis
- Chronic condition caused by excessive pronation during initial phase of walking
- Severe heel pain
- Treatment involves ice, massage, stretching
Rotator Cuff Tear
- Resulting from acute trauma
- Diagnosed with drop arm or empty can tests
- Requires treatment focusing on adequate management, and potential adhesive capsulitis
