Maternal Flashcards
GI, MUSCULO (62 cards)
Assessment of musculoskeletal
Bone radiography
Bone scan (scintigraphy)
Electromyography
Bone Biopsy
Muscle Biopsy
Arthroscopy
Magnetic resonance imaging
-Specialized radiology
-Identify areas physical and chemical changes
-Follow progress of treatment
Bone Scan (scintigraphy)
-Measure muscle response/ electrical activity-> nerve’s
-one or small needles(electrodes) inserted through the skin
Electromyography
-removal of small piece of of muscle tissue for examination
-removal of a plug of tissue by needle, used for examination
-sometimes more than one is needed to obtain large specimen
Muscle biopsy
-small bone sample removed from outer layer of bones opposite to bone marrow in which the innermost layer part of bone
-sample retains architecture of bine when seen histopathological examination slide
Bone biopsy
Surgical procedure of orthopedic surgeon
-visualize and treat problems inside a joint
-diagnose and treat joint problems
-inserts a narrow tube attached to a fiber optic video camera through a small incision (buttonhole)
-view transmitted to a high definition video monitor
Arthroscopy
-examine bones, joints & soft tissues
-cartilage muscles, tendons
-injuries, structural abnormalities inflammatory disease, congenital abnormalities, osteoporosis ocslerosis, bone marrow disease and herniation
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
-pigeon toe
-result of foot, tibial, femoral or hip displacement
-feet point inward while walking
Toeing-in
-relaxation of longitudinal arch of foot
Factors:
-obesity
- injury to foot or ankle
-rheumatoid arthritis
Aging
-diabetes
Flat feet (pes planus)
-opposite of genu varum
- medial knees touch and medial aurface of ankle melleoli are separated more than 3 inches
Causes
-increased vascularity occurs during fracture healing resulting in medial metaphyseal overgrowth
-radiation,infection and tumors. ( osteochondromas ,multiple hereditary esotoses,fibrous dysplasia
Knock knees (genu valgum)
-lateral bowing of tibia
-most common cause is rickets or condition that prevents bones from forming properly
-infection, tumors can affect growth of the leg which can cause one eg to be bowed
Bow legs ( genu varum)
-Genetic or heritable
-bones fracture easily no obvious cause or minimal injury
- brittle bone disease
-can be severe or mild
-defects r/t protein (1 collagen) building block of body
-type 1 collagen make bones strong and build tendons, ligaments , teeth and sclera
-mutation or gene changes causes collagen defects
Osteogenesis imperfecta
-infection of the bone
-Mostly caused by bacteria
-may be cause by fungi or other germs
-may spread to bone from infected skin, muscles, or tendons next to the bone
Osteomyelitis
Osteomyelitis in younger children caused by
Streptococcus pyogenes
Osteomyelitis in older children caused by
Staphylococcus aureus
Limitation of weight bearing on affected part
-bed rest and Immobilization
-administration of oxacillin (Bactocill) hospital and then home for 2weeks, oral 3-4 more weeks
-administration of biphosphonates- reduce bone loss
-aspirate bones tube inserted to the area for antibiotic solution
- drainage tubes attach to suction to evacuate subperiostrum area
Osteomyelitis
-inflammation in hip joint
-causes pain, limp, and sometimes, refusal to bear weight
-occurs in pre-pubescent children most common hip joint
-occurs when viral infection upper respi infection moves to and settles in hip joint
-in Healthy person (cause) overuse or stress movement of joints- inflammatory arthritis
Transient synovitis
-Overuse injury occurs after repetitive activities of the muscles attached to ____
-excessively tight hip and thigh muscles prone to pelvis/hip ______
- traction injury o cartilag and bony attachment of tendons in children and adolescents
-overuse injury in children who are growing have rights or inflexible muscle tendon units
Apophysitis
Types of scoliosis
-Functional (postural ) scoliosis
-Structural scoliosis
Lateral curvature of spine
Compensatory mechanism of unequal leg length
- curvature is flexible will go away if problem side goes away
Functional ( postural) scoliosis
Is idiopathic, permanent curvature
-damage to vertebrae
-spine curvature not flexible
-does not go away
Structural scoliosis
-if curve is less than 20 degrees no therapy is required until 18 years
-long term treatment
-mechanical bracing to maintain spinal stability and prevent further progression until bone growth is complete
-rehabilitation
Structural scoliosis
-involves joints of body also affects blood vessels and connective tissues
-symptoms must begin before age 16 years old and last longer than 3 months
Juvenile Arthritis
-heat application
-warm water soaks 20–30 minutes
-paraffin soaks
-splinting to immobilize
-
Therapy for juvenile arthritis
