fracture caused by (4)

force exceeding compressive strenght of bone, trauma/abuse, accidents in work, osteroporosis

4 fracture classifications

complete/incomplete, open/closed, location, direction of fracture line

4 types of fracturs

comminuted, segmental, butterfly, impacted

complete fracture

the bone is broken all the way through

incomplete fracture

the bone is damaged but is still in one piece

open fracture types (2)

compound, simple

compound open fracture

skin is broken

treat compound fracture

cover bone with sterile moist towel

simple compound fracture

skin is intact

treat simple compound fracture

splint fracture

3 fracture locations

proximal, midshaft, distal

proximal

top or closer to body

midshaft

center of bone

distal

bottom or further from body

transverse

horizontal, perpendicular to bone length

oblique

diagonal

spiral

wrap around bone like candy cane stripe

comminuted

section broken from bone and broken piece shatters

segmental

segmental broken

butterfly

shark bite

impacted

pressure from other bone causes tips to break off

3 directions of fracture lines

transverse, oblique, spiral

3 alternate terms for incomplete fractures

greenstick, torus, bowing

greenstick

perforates one cortex and splinters the spongy bone

torus

cortex buckles but does not break

bowing

paired radius-ulna or fibula-tibia

3 other classifications of bone fractures

pathologic, stress, fatigue

pathologic fracture

a break at the site of a preexisting abnormality

stress fracture

occurs in normal or abnormal bone that is subject to repeated stress (athlete)

fatigue fracture

caused by abnormal stress (when engage in a new or different act. that is both strenuous and repetitive (dancers, joggers))

patho - what is disrupted when bone broken

periosteum and blood vessels in the cortex, marrow, and surrounding soft tissues

patho - what causes bleeding

occurs from neighboring soft tissues and damaged ends of bone

patho - what forms and where

clot forms within the medullar canal, between the fractured ends of the bone

patho - what bone tissue dies

bone tissue immediately adjacent to fracture

patho - what response is stimulated and why

inflammatory response from dead tissue and any debris from fractured area

patho - inflammatory response characterized by

vasodilation, exudation of plasma and leukocytes, infiltration of inflammatory leukocytes and mast cells

patho - with 48 hrs after injury what invades where

vascular tissue invades the fractured area from surrounding soft tissue and marrow of the cavity

patho - osteoblasts from where do what

osteoblasts from procallus synthesize collagen and matrix

patho - synthesizing collagen and matrix does what

mineralizes to form callus (woven bone)

patho - as repair process continues what occurs causing what

remodeling occurs causing unnecessary callus to be reabsorbed and trabecular bone laid down

patho - new bone formed when

it heals after fracture

new bone is not

scar tissue

new bone appears what color

more white than original bone

5 sns of fractures

unnatural alignment, swelling, muscle spasm, tenderness and pain, impaired sensation

unnatural alignment

deformity

muscle spasm

may account for pain later on

tenderness and pain

severe at first, caused by the trauma

impaired sensation

pinching or severing of a nerve by the trauma or fragments

dislocation

temporary displacement of two bone in which the two bone surfaces lose contact entirely

subluxation

temporary displacement of two bones where contact between the two bone surfaces is only partially lost

6 usual spots for dislocation and subluxation

shoulder, elbow, wrist, finger, hip, knee

dislocation and subluxation may be caused by

congenital or acquired disorders such as RA

dislocation and subluxation often associated with

fractures

patho dis/sub - what usually accompanies dis/sub because why

fractures accompany because stress is placed on areas of bone that are not normally subject to stress

patho dis/sub - as bone seperates from joint what may occur

it may bruise or adjacent nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, supporting structures, and soft tissues

dis/sub sns same as

fracture

dis/sub sns

pain, swelling, motion limitation, joint deformity

strain

tear or rupture of tendon at any site

strain usually result of

major trauma

strain usually where

hands, feet, knees, upper arms, thighs, angles, heels (achilles)

sprains

tear or rupture of a ligament at any joint

sprains most common where

wrist, ankle, elbow, knee

patho sprain/strain - what develops when tendon or ligament torn and where

inflammatroy exudate develops between torn ends

patho strain/sprain - how is repair process begun

granulated tissue containing macrophages, fibroblasts, and capillary buds grows inward from surrounding soft tissue and cartilage

patho strain/sprain - within how many days will what formation begin

4-5 days collagen formation begins and will organize parallel to the lines of stress

patho strain/sprain - as collagen is reorganized what occurs

healing tendon or ligament separates from surrounding soft tissue

patho sprain/strain - usually takes how long for tendon or ligament to withstand strong pull again

4-5 weeks

patho strain/sprain - what is common if what occurs prior to 4-5 weeks

reinjury is common if strong pull occurs prior to 4-5 weeks

strain/sprain sns (3)

pain, swelling, tendon/ligamen contour

strain/sprain pain (3)

sharp, localized, tender

RICE

rest, ice, compress, elevate

ice for how long

first 24 hours

tendinitis

painful inflammation of tendons where it attaches to bone

bursitis

painful inflammation of bursae

bursae

small sacs lines with synovial membrane and filled with synovial fluid

bursae located where

between tendons, ligaments, and bony prominences

muscle strain

muscle is stretched beyond normal capacity

muscle strain may involve

tendon also

muscle strain usually caused by

trauma

muscle strain sns (2)

hemorrhage into surrounding tissue, inflammation

muscle strain categorized as

degrees

muscle strain grade 1

bone shifts slightly to side pulling tendon

muscle strain grade 2

tendon forms a little bump

muscle strain grade 3

tendon breaks in half

muscle strain grade 4

tendon pulls away from bone

compartment syndrome

any condition in which a structure such as a nerve or tendon is being constricted in a space

compartment syndrome ie

carpal tunnel syndrome

sheath or tendon of compartment syndrome

sheath or tendon may be enlarged due to disease or inflammation and no longer able to move freely in the compartment

assessment (6)

degree of pain, circulation/swelling, ROM/mobility, sns inflammation, proper alignment, fever/cbc

3 soft tissue injuries

contussion, hematoma, laceration

contussion
