|
what are soft tissue injuries |
injuries to the tissues in the joints or around the bones |
|
|
what are fractures, dislocations, or subluxations |
injuries to the bones in the joints |
|
|
avulsion definition |
tearing away of a structure from its attachment by force; ex. the anterior cruciate ligament from the bone attachment within the knee |
|
|
PCL injury |
acute onset of knee pain in general; hyperextension, posterior trauma, hyperflexion |
|
|
MCL injury |
acute onset of medial knee pain; valgus force, external rotational force |
|
|
meniscal injuries present with |
acute onset of sharp pain after a twisting or hyperflexion movement; a 'pop' may be heard |
|
|
LCL injury |
acute onset of lateral knee pain; blow to anteromedial knee in full extension |
|
|
ACL injury |
low energy noncontact, 'popping' |
|
|
rupture/tear definition |
tear= occurs when strain or sprain is severe, muscle, ligament, tendon; rupture= complete tear from overstretching |
|
|
anatomy of the ankle |
deltoid ligament (the ones on the inside of your foot aka medial) is a lot harder to tear than the lateral talocalcaneal ligament (the ones on the outside of your foot aka lateral) (damaged when you invert your foot) |
|
|
sprain/strain definition |
sprain= ligament injury, inversion injury where the foot is rotated inward or eversion injury where the foot is rotated outward; strain= muscle injury, sports, exercise, a sudden movement, trying to lift something that is too heavy |
|
|
tendonitis/tendinosis definition |
tendonitis (tendinitis)= antyhting that causes pain and swelling of tendons, inflammation, irritation, pain at site of tendinous insertions into bone; tendinosis= chronic injury or failed healing in tendons due to overuse |
|
|
stress injuries definition and types |
overuse syndromes; lateral epicondylitis= aka tennis elbow, excessive wrist extension, more common in NON tennis players (mouse and keyboard use), not really inflammation but a tendinopathy, may also develop radial tunnel syndrome; medial epicondylitis= aka golfer's elbow, bowlers, archers, weight lifters, golfing, throwing sports, overuse tendinopathy, valgus stresses |
|
|
anatomy of the elbow |
NEED TO DO |
|
|
bursitis definition |
inflammation of the fluid filled sac (bursa) that lies between a tendon and skin, or between a tendon and bone; due to infection, injury, overuse; shoulder, knee, elbow, hip |
|
|
dislocation definition |
bone comes out of its socket; patella, shoulder, elbow |
|
|
subluxation definition |
incomplete or partial dislocation; contact between joint surfaces remains; radial head subluxation also known as pulled elbow or nursemaid's elbow is the most common upper extremity injury in infants and young children who present to the ER |
