FALSE
|
|

|
True or False, a nonunion occurs when the healing process has stopped.
|
TRUE
|
|
|
What factors can contribute to a nonunion?
|
Associated soft-tissue injury, poor blood supply, and infections
|
|
|
What are some adverse effects that occur when a joint is immobilized?
|
Joint stiffness, decreased water content, decreased ligament strength, loss of bone, and muscle atrophy.
|
|
|
True or False, when a joint is immobilized, the articular cartilage that is in a non-contact position will show greater degenerative changes then the AC that is in a contact position.
|
FALSE

|
|
What is the goal of surgical abrading in the treatment of AC injuries.

TRUE
|
None
