Front 1

Test that detects antibodies present in the serum of patients with SLE:

cortisone

Front 3

muscle enzyme that leaks out when muscle is damaged & is typically seen in patients with muscular dystrophy, polymyositis, and traumatic injuries:

Back 3

creatine kinase (CK), or
creatine phosphokinase (CPK)

Front 4

Increased levels of this indicate inflammation is present and is usually a positive test for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, and osteomyelitis:

Back 4

erythrocyte sedimentation rate
ESR

Front 5

the application of sound waves is used to break up bony spurs and treat other minor, painful skeletal problems:

Back 5

extracorporeal shockwave therapy

Front 6

instrument used for measuring the angle and degree of movement of a joint:

Back 6

goniometry

Front 7

a blood sample is taken and processed & a positive result indicates the presence of rheumatoid arthritis:

Back 7

rheumatoid factor

Front 8

the test to measure calcium levels in the blood:

Back 8

serum calcium

Front 9

weights are used to pull the bone ends of a fracture into correct alignment:

Back 9

traction

Front 10

blood test to determine if there are increased levels of uric acid in patients suspected of having gout:

Back 10

uric acid level

Front 11

NAME THE PROCEDURE:
aspiration of synovial fluid for analysis:

Back 11

arthrocentesis

Front 12

NAME THE PROCEDURE:
surgical fusion of bones in a degenerated, unstable joint, or to alleviate intractable pain:

Back 12

arthrodesis

Front 13

NAME THE PROCEDURE:
contrast material is injected into the joint and x-ray images obtained:

Back 13

arthrography

Front 14

NAME THE PROCEDURE:
surgical repair of a joint:

Back 14

arthroplasty

Front 15

NAME THE PROCEDURE:
passage of a small instrument into a joint for visual examination and to remove and repair damaged tissue:

Back 15

arthroscopy

Front 16

NAME THE PROCEDURE:
an x-ray beam is used to measure the density of minerals in bones and to determine if demineralization has occurred as well as to estimate the strength of the bones:

Back 16

bone density test (BMD)

Front 17

NAME THE PROCEDURE:
x-ray energy is directed from 2 different sources towards the bone being examined in an alternating fashion at a set frequency, and strength of the signal returned is indicative of the density of bone:

Back 17

DEXA scan

Front 18

How are the results of a DEXA scan reported? (2 types)

Back 18

T-score & Z-score

Front 19

Which score of a DEXA scan is based on comparison of the patient's bone mineral density with that of a healthy woman in her 30s?

Back 19

T-score

Front 20

Which score for a DEXA scan is based on a comparison of the patient's measurements with those of a person of the same sex and age?

Back 20

Z-score

Front 21

A technique using both x-ray beam and a CT scan to obtain 3-dimensional images of bone mineral density in the axial and appendicular skeleton; & is unique in its ability to provide separate estimates of trabecular and corticle bone density as a true volumetric mineral density value:

Back 21

quantitative computerized tomography (QCT)

Front 22

Procedure using whole bone or bone chips to repair fractures with extensive bone loss or bone defects:

Back 22

bone graft

Front 23

Bone graft using frozen or freeze-dried bone chips from a cadaver:

Back 23

allograft

Front 24

Bone graft using bone chips obtained from the patient:

Back 24

autograft

Front 25

a radioactive substance is given and a scan performed to detect areas of increased uptake which would indicate the presence of tumors, infection, inflammation or stress fractures:

Back 25

bone scan

Front 26

nuclear medicine test in which technetium-99m is injected and absorbed by the bone:

Back 26

bone scintigraphy

Front 27

How does a bone scintigraphy show an abnormality?

Back 27

hot spots show increased metabolism, which will show up more colorful

Front 28

contrast is injected into the nucleus pulposus of the cervical or lumbar intervertebral disk and an x-ray is taken

Back 28

diskography

Front 29

electrical stimulation is applied to a muscle and a recording obtained to determine the strenth of the muscle contraction:

Back 29

Front 30

a surgical procedure performed for complicated fractures in which an external fixator device is inserted into the bone and connected to a mtal frame:
