Fractures - Answer--break continuity of bone
-causes (accidents, diseases processes; RA)
Types of Fractures: Closed (simple) - Answer--usually uncomplicated
-skin intact over fx site
-no infection
Types of Fractures: Open (compound) - Answer--break in skin
-potentially infected
-prevent infection
Types of Fractures: Simple - Answer-bone breaks into two pieces
Types of Fractures: Stress - Answer-hairline break that is often invisible on X-ray for 6-8 weeks
(overuse in sports)
Types of Fractures: Comminuted - Answer-bone fragments into several pieces (falling wrists)
Types of Fractures: Impacted - Answer-one fragment of bone is embedded into another fragment of bone
,Types of Fractures: Compound - Answer-bone snaps completely into two or more pieces
Types of Fractures: Complete - Answer-bone snaps completely into two or more pieces
Types of Fractures: Incomplete - Answer-bone cracks but does not separate
Types of Fractures: Compression - Answer-cervical fracture (vertebrae)
Types of Fractures: Pathological - Answer-cancer
Fractures: Stages of Bone Healing - Answer--hematoma formation
-granulation tissue
-callus formation
-ossification
-consolidation and remodeling
#1 treatment surgery these days
Fractures: Signs & Symptoms - Answer--pain
-pressure
-spams
-swelling
-broken bone usually can't put any pressure on
, -adrenaline POWERFUL, may not feel pain at first
Fractures: Treatment: Immediate - Answer--*immobilize* (prevents further damage)
-note changes in color, sensation, temperature, pulses (make sure nothing pressing on artery)
-cover open fx with sterile dressing (prevent infection)
Fractures: Treatment: Reducing Fx - Answer--closed reduction
-open reduction internal fixation (ORIF)
Fractures: ORIF Post Op Care - Answer--non-weight bearing; touch down; partial; as tolerated; full weight
bearing
-avoid hip flexion >90 degrees
-avoid adduction
-avoid cross leg midline
-avoid internal rotation
-DVT 40-46%
-PE 20%
-Previous function 50%
-get people out of bed and back to previous function status
-keep hips align, one hip can't cross over other
A&P - Answer--Bones; structure/ function
-->206 classified by shape (long, short, flat, irregular)
-Joints; articulation of bones
-->classified degree of movement
