Can be acute Swelling, tenderness, crepitus |
Tenosynovitis
|
|
Muscle become chronically inflamed and develops myositis
Osteoid (bone forming) material can accumulate rapidly Will either resolve or mature into actual bone formation in 9-12 months Common in quadriceps, biceps and deltoid following repeated trauma |
Ectopic Calcification (myositis ossificans)
|
|
wasting away of muscle due to immobilization, disuse, or nerve malfunctioning
|
Atrophy
|
|
Bones held together by a fibrous cuff
Made of bundles of collagen Fairly strong, can withstand some cross-sectional forces May be slack or taut depending on joint position |
Joint capsule
|
|
Sheets or bundles of collagen that form connection between two bones
Can exist inside (intrinsic) or outside (extrinsic) the joint capsule Strongest in the middle, weakest at ends When stressed, they can tear or avulse at attachment points Constant stress will weaken, while intermittent stress will strengthen Act as protective backup for joints Primary protection is from dynamic muscle action Will adapt based on Roux’s law of functional adaptation (organ will adapt structurally to an alteration, qualitative or quantitative to function) |
