Test 2 Trauma Flashcards
(84 cards)
Continuum of Care
Is not a straight path, can be a path of going right to invasive, but most of the time the process of moving from non invasive to invasive
Order of least invasive to invasive
- Administration of NSAIDS
- Physical therapy,
3.Casting - Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Open surgery
Muscle Strains
Inflammations and swelling occurs. muscle fibers regenerate which causes healing.
Muscle Strain Grades
1 little strains
2 partial tear
3 full tear
Tendons
Tear away from bone
typically in the rotator cuff and bicep
they rupture with the tendon
Achilles
Ligament
Bone to bone connection
Treatment by severity
A grade 1 can heal in weeks when collagen fibers grow
Least invasive to most
rest ice
physical therapy
nasids
Fractures
breaks in continuity of bone
bone force exceeds strength
- can be caused by direct or indirect violence
Distal radius
wrist fracture that is most common in children
Stress Fracture
repetitive stress on the bone can cause cracks
Insufficiency stress
normal force on weak bones = low bone density
Pathological Fractures
bone weakened from previous diseases
- reduced force needed to break
- metastatic lesions
- Benign bone tumors
-Cancer
Long Bones
Humerus
Radius
Ulna
Femur
Tibia
Fibula
Metacarpals
Metatarsals
Phalanges
Fracture on the side that is very minor
Hair line fracture
Bone breaks about 3/4 of the way through, kind of like a treebranch where it stays together. Most common in children.
Greenstick
A diagonal fracture where the bone is still in the same position
Oblique nondisplaced
A diagonal fracture where the bones are misaligned and need surgery to be realigned
Oblique Displaced
A fracture that is inside the body
A closed fracture
A fracture that is through the skin
open fracture
Transverse
A fracture straight across the bone ( transverse plan)
many bone fragments that are within the fracture
Comminuted
Fracture that is in a spiral diagonal formation
Spiral
Compound
Oblique open displaced fracture
Bone location
what bone and where is the fracture on that bone
