Knee Patho Flashcards
(32 cards)
more complicated fractures occur when they are closer to the blank
joint
fractures can affect blank tissue
neural
cool to the touch and a weak pulse after a fracture can be a sign of blank
shock
distal femoral fractures usually heal faster than blank weeks
12
a pathological fracture could have a blank onset
insidious
fall directly on the knee can cause a blank fracture by the patella driving into femur
intracondylar
most important fracture to manage is the blank fracture site through the articular surface of the femur
vertical
very rare fracture of tibia that has an incidence increasing with age
tibial plateau
tibial plateau that is stronger and requires more force to fracture
medial
mri are used to look at blank
soft tissue
softening of cartilage
chondromalacia
boys are blank times as likely to get osgood schlattters
3
indirect trauma or repetitive stress to the attachment of the patellar tendon to tibial tuberosity
osgood schlatters
patella pointing lateral
frog eye
patella pointing medial
squinting
patella pointing up
patella alta
patella pointing down
baja
most common knee bursitis
prepatellar bursitis
syndrome caused by an embryological remnant; a fold in the synovial lining
plica
plica is in blank percent of the population
60
plica can cause blank pain but can be surgically removed
knee
aka popliteal cyst in adults that can be associated with arthritis that is like a little hernia
baker cyst
lateral meniscus is blank shaped and is more blank than medial becuase it is not attached to blank
circle, mobile, lcl
injury in the blood rich periphery and both sides of the tear have rich blood supply, healing is promoted
red red tear
