1
Q

What causes the clicking/popping noise in a TMJ disorder

A

alternations in the ligament that secures the joint leading ot progressive internal displacement of the articular disk

2
Q

Why would one feel pain in paranasal sinus, tympanic membrane, oral cavity, eyes or teeth with a TMJ disorder

A

Because they are all innervated by CN V (trigeminal nerve)

3
Q

A

Because the nucleus pulposus is composed of water to function as a shock absorber

6
Q

Where is the most common area of back injuries?

Q

What type of joint occurs between adjacent superior and inferior articular processes?

Q

What could menigitis result in, in terms of the neck region?

12
Q

What joint is referenced in a shoulder separation?

A

acromioclavicular joint

13
Q

What ligament is responsible for most of the stability of the AC joint?

A

the coracoclavicular ligament, if torn = AC separation

14
Q

Glenohumeral joint

A

multiaxial ball-in-socket joint

15
Q

What is the funciton of the glenoid labrum

A

to deepen the concavity of the glenoid cavity and help stabilize the head of the humerus

16
Q

Why does the GH joint generally dislocate inferiorally/medially?

A

because there is no protection inferiorly and because anterior thorax muscles pull the humeral head

17
Q

What muscles compose the “Rotator cuff”

A

infraspinatus, subscapularis, supraspinatus, teres minor

18
Q

What can occur if one pulls suddenly of a child’s pronated forearm?

A

subluxation of the head of the radias or “nursemaind’s elbow”

19
Q

Humeroulnar joint

A

uniaxial hinge joint

20
Q

humeroradial joint

A

poorly classified, synovial joint

21
Q

Why is the elbow an extremely stable joint?

A
  1. the articular capsule is fairly thick and effective
  2. bony surfaces of humerus and ulna interlock wll
  3. multiple strong ligaments reinforce the capsule
22
Q

What ligament is related to nursemaid’s elbow?

A

anular ligament that binds head of the radius to proximal head of ulna

23
Q

“Little League Elbow” is a result of what?

A

head of the raidus and capitulum forcefully collide repeatedly over long periods of time and the articular surface and bone ca be damaged

24
Q

Why is the ulna not considered a part of the radiocarpal joint and what kind of joint is it?

A

because a fibrocartilaginous articular disc separates the small head of the ulna from the joint, diarthrotic synovial condyloid

25
Q

radioulnar joint

A

diarthrotic synovial pivot joint

26
Q

intercarpal joints

A

diarthrotic synovial planar joint

27
Q

metacarpophalangeal joint

A
2-5= biaxial condyloid joints
1= uniaxial hinge joint
28
Q

interphalangeal joint

A

uniaxial hinge joints

29
Q

Why does a finger joint typically dislocate posteriorly?

A

because there is no ligamentous support on the posterior side of our digits

30
Q

Sacroiliac joint

A

uniaxial diarthrotic planar joint- slightly moveable- only during pregnancy

31
Q

acetabulofemoral joint

A

ball and socket joint

32
Q

Why is the acetabulofemoral joint more stable than the glenohumeral?

A

Because the articular capsure is dense and strong and the bony architecture around in from the ossa coxae

33
Q

What supplies most of the blood to the head and neck of the femur?

A

retinacular arteries that travel through the retinacular fibers, also the ligamentum teres which contains a small artery

34
Q

What two articulations compose the knee joint?

A

the tibiofemoral joint and the patellofemoral joint

35
Q

What type of femoral fracture is extracapsular and who does it usually affect/why?

A

intertrochantic, younger people, trauma

36
Q

What type of femoral neck fracture is intracapsular and who does it affect/why? What can it lead to?

A

subcapital, elderly people with osteoporosis, avascular necrosis

37
Q

What ligament prevents varus deviation?

A

LCL

38
Q

What ligament prevents valgus deviation?

A

MCL

39
Q

What ligament is hypothesized to work in conjunction with the ACL and what kind of force would injure it?

A

the anteriolateral ligament, hyperextension and twisting

40
Q

What inner ligament is pulled taut in knee extension?

A

ACL

41
Q

What inner ligament is pulled taut in knee flexion?
