Trauma – MSC UPDATED ACTUAL Exam
Questions and CORRECT Answers
Acute - CORRECT ANSWER - Caused by sudden overload of forces on healthy bone that
exceeds bones capacity.
Bending force - CORRECT ANSWER - a force that causes a structure to curve around an
axis
bony crepitus - CORRECT ANSWER - cracking and popping sensation in joints due to
presence of air in the subcutaneous tissue
comminuted fracture - CORRECT ANSWER - bone shatters into 3 or more pieces
complete articular fracture - CORRECT ANSWER - fracture has disrupted the joint
surface, completely separated from diaphysis
compressive force - CORRECT ANSWER - pushing or collapsing force that reduces
length
concomitant - CORRECT ANSWER - occurring or existing at the same time as something
else
contusion - CORRECT ANSWER - caused when blood vessels are damaged or broken as
a result of a blow to the skin
displaced - CORRECT ANSWER - bone snaps into two or more parts and moves so that
the two ends are not aligned
extra articular - CORRECT ANSWER - fracture does not extend into the joint
, fatigue - CORRECT ANSWER - transient inability of a muscle to maintain optimal
physical performance
intra-articular - CORRECT ANSWER - fracture line extends within a joint
multifragmentary fracture - CORRECT ANSWER - one or more intermediate fragments,
no contact between proximal and distal fragments
normal force - CORRECT ANSWER - gravity
oblique fracture - CORRECT ANSWER - fracture that has angled pattern
open, compound fracture - CORRECT ANSWER - fractured bone breaks skin (may or
may not be visible)
palpate - CORRECT ANSWER - examination by pressure of the hand to determine
condition
partial articular fracture - CORRECT ANSWER - fracture involves one part of the
articular surface while the remainder of the joints remains attached
pathologic - CORRECT ANSWER - fracture that occurs in an area of diseased bone
polyaxial - CORRECT ANSWER - essentially a screw whose spherical head is inclosed in
a housing which allows screw a range of motion along several axes
polytrauma - CORRECT ANSWER - multiple trauma injuries
