Mallet Finger - -Rupture of the extensor at its insertion
-Jersey Finger - -Rupture of flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) at its insertion
Distal phalanx
-Boutonniere deformity - -Rupture or tear of the central portion of the
extensor tendon
-Kienbock's disease - -avascular necrosis of the lunate
-Where is the cuboid located? - -lateral aspect of foot
-Where is the Capitellum located? - -Is lateral and it articulates with the
radial head of the radius.
-symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome - -numbness, pain, tingling in the
thumb, index, and middle fingers.
-Median nerve distribution - -Carpal tunnel syndrome
-Bennets Fracture - -fracture at the base of the first metacarpal (Thumb)
-De Quervain's Tenosynovitis - -inflammation the extensor pollicis brevis
and the abductor pollicis longus tendons on the side of the wrist at the base
of the thumb.
Can be brought on by simple strain injury, treated by bracing the thumb and
wrist.
-gameskeeper's thumb - -aka skiers thumb
injury to the ulnar collateral ligament
-ganglion cyst - -Mass on a finger that contains jelly-like viscous fluid and is
connected to a synovial Sheath or capsule
-Giant cell tumor - -a rare, aggressive non-cancerous tumor. Usually
develops near a joint at the end of the bone.Giant cell tumors most often
occur in young adults . The exact cause of giant cell tumors remains
unknown.
, -lipoma - -Benign tumors of fat, formed between the skin and the
underlying muscle
-Enchondroma - -Benign tumor consisting of cartilage in bone
-sugar tong splint - -TX: temp immobilize wrist, forearm fx's
Prevents suppinating and pronating.
-Thumb Spica Splint - -Immobilization for acute non-displaced scaphoid
Fracture
-thumb spica cast - -TX: stable, reduced fx's, thumb ligament injuries, non-
displaced scaphoid fx's
-Physis - -cartilaginous area between the epiphysis and metaphysis
responsible for longitudinal growth of bones.
-Diaphysis - -shaft of long bone (compact bone)
-Epiphysis - -End of a long bone. After growth stops, it becomes part of the
metaphysis
-What is the physis also Known as? - -Growth Plate
-metaphysis - -growth zone between the epiphysis and the diaphysis during
development of a long bone. Composed of primary and secondary spongiosa.
-Primary spongiosa - -The region of the ossification center containing
calcified cartilage, woven bone and lamellar bone
-Secondary spongiosa - -Part of the ossification center consisting of spicules
of lamellar bone
-Bursae - -fluid-filled sac that allows for easy movement of one part of a
joint over another. They relieve pressure between two moving parts.
-Fascia - -Sheets of dense connective tissue that envelop muscular
components and hold Muscles, blood vessels and nerves into bundles
-Synovium - -Connective membrane that lines joints and produces and
absorbs synovial fluid. This lubricates and feeds cartilage surfaces
-Periosteum - -A firm 2 layered fibrous membrane covering the surface of
bones. The outer layer contains blood vessels while the inner layer contains
