wound healing
Hemostasis Phase.- is the process of the wound being closed by clotting. …starts when blood leaks out of the body
Inflammatory Phase. …econd stage of wound healing and begins right after the injury when the injured blood vessels leak transudate (made of water, salt, and protein) causing localized swelling. Inflammation both controls blleding and prevents infections
Proliferative Phase. …wound healing is when the wound is rebuilt with new tissue made up of collagen and extracellular matrix. In the proliferative phase, the wound contracts as new tissues are built. In addition, a new network of blood vessels must be constructed so that the granulation tissue can be healthy and receive sufficient O2 and nutrients
Maturation Phase.the maturation phase is when collagen is remodeled from type III to type I and the wound fully closes. The cells that had been used to repair the wound but which are no longer needed are removed by apoptosis, or programmed cell death.
2 main approaches for fracture plate fixation
Interfragmentry compression and internal splinting
2 test to evaluate progression of OM
ESR

2nd layer muscle on the plantar foot
Quadratus Plantar (Lateral plantar Nerve)
1st Lumbricals Medial plantar branch nerve)
FHL and FDL run in this layer

3rd layer of the foot
Flexor Hallucis Brevis (Medial plantar nerve,proper digital N to hallux)
Adductor Hallucis(Lateral plantar nerve, deep branch)
Flexor digitii minimi brevis( Lateral plantar nerve, superficial)

4 stages of bone healing
Inflammation, soft callus, hard, callous, remodeling

5 Minute reactive hyperemic test
Patient lies supine legs raided 30 degress
foot DF and PF several time to empty venous blood
Apply and inflate cuff to 100mm above ankle systolic
Place foot heart level
After 5 minutesquickly deflate cuff
Time the interval between cuff let down and color returns to foot
Normal= instant with max erythema t 1 minute
Vasospastic disease- Return of color is uniform slight delayed 5-8 seconds-max erythema 2 minutes
Organic Occlusive Disease-Return uniform requires 15 seconds to reach toes,erythema less then normal
5th ray runs at
proximal, lateral plantar, distal medial dorsal

A 2 agonst
reduce central and peripheral sympathetic overflow and via peripheral presynaptic receptors may reduce peripheral neurotransmitter release. Alpha 2 agonists lower blood pressure in many patients either alone or in combination with diuretics.
Drugs: Guanabenz, guanfacine, clonidine, tizanidine, medetomidine, and dexmedetomidine are all α-2 agonists that vary in their potency and affinities for the various α-2 receptor subtypes. Clonidine, tizanidine, and dexmedetomidine ha
A antagonist
Phentolamine
Phenoxybenzamine also use for pheochromocytoma
Will cause reflex tachycardia and 1st dose syncope
A farmer ran over his brother’s foot with a plow, causing
a degloving injury and comminuted fracture of the first
metatarsal. He makes it to the hospital within 1 hour
Take a culture. Start a cephalosporin,
aminoglycoside and Penicillin G. Surgical
repair.
A patient received an allograft bone graft while
undergoing surgical excision of active osteomyelitis. The
graft is rejected. Which type of hypersensitivity reaction
TYPE IV
A Type 4 Hawkins talar neck fracture represents:
displacement of the ankle joint
Displacement of the talar neck, subtalar
joint, ankle joint and talonavicular joint
Abduction test
supine, hips and knees flexed to 90 degrees
Abduct the knee to resistance
A dislocated hip will have limitation of abduction on affected side
Absorable sutures
Plain gut-natural multifilament-digested own enz, tensile strength maint 7-10 days–70 days complete
Chromic gut-natural multifilament- chromeic NacL solution resist body enz, prolong>>90 days]
Vicryl-Synthetic monofilament-75% of original tensile strength remains day 14, absorpt 56-60 days by hydrolysis
Monocryl- synthetic monofilament-tensile strength-60% at 7 day 30% 14 day, original strength lost 21 day absorbed at 91-119
PDS (polydiazone)-synthetic monofil-70% original strength at day 14, absorption minimal until 90 days and complete absorbed 6 months
Ace inhibitors
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) are medications that slow (inhibit) the activity of the enzyme ACE, which decreases the production of angiotensin II. As a result, blood vessels enlarge or dilate, and blood pressure is reduced
Benazepril (Lotensin) Side effects
Captopril. Cough and hyperkalemia by inhib of aldosterone
Enalapril (Vasotec)
Fosinopril.
Lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril)
Moexipril.
Perindopril.
Quinapril (Accupr

Acrocyanosis
Acrocyanosis is persistent blue or cyanotic discoloration of the extremities, most commonly occurring in the hands, although it also occurs in the feet and distal parts of face.
Can mimic Raynauds contrictive S/S
adult range in malleolar position
13-18 degrees
Alcoholic Neuropathy

similiar to beri beri
Thiamine essential for CHO catabolism
Decrease Thiamine (B1)=CVD>>Wet beri beri

Dry Beri beri–Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome which alcohol related brain damage>>>language & thinking(xs alcohol consuption
TX-100mg IV Thiamine
Alkaline Phosphatase
30-85
Mainly in liver and bone
released by osteoblast when secreted into bone
Increased-Live/bone DZ,healing fracture &bone growth,hyperparathyroidism,obstructive biliary dz, Pagets,Sarcoma
Decreased-Hypothyroidism, malnutrition,scurvy, pernicous anema, Diabetes
Alkaline Phsphatase ALP
30-85
Liver-heat stable
Bone- heat labile
Most often measure bile duct obstruction
INCREASED- Liver DZ/Bone DZ/Hyperparathyroidism/Healing bone growth/Obstruction biliary DZ
Decreased- Hypothyroidism/Malnutrition/Pernicous anemia/
