1. Coxa Valga - ANSWER ✓ Outward turning of the hip joint.
2. Coxa Vara - ANSWER ✓ Inward turning of the hip joint.
3. Genu valgum - ANSWER ✓ Knock-kneed; the knees are in close position
and the space between the ankles is increased.
4. Genu varum - ANSWER ✓ Bowlegged; the space between the knees is
abnormally increased and the lower leg bows inwardly.
5. Talipes valgus - ANSWER ✓ Outward turning of the foot away from the
midline.
6. Talipes varus - ANSWER ✓ Inward turning of the foot toward the midline.
7. Pott's fracture - ANSWER ✓ Fracture of the fibula near the ankle, often
accompanied by a break in the medial malleolus of the tibia and/or rupture
of the internal lateral ligament.
8. Sprain - ANSWER ✓ Injury to the joint characterized by the rupture of some
or all fibers of the supporting ligament.
9. Ewing's tumor - ANSWER ✓ Malignant tumor of bone affecting mostly
boys between 5 and 15 years of age.
10.Osteogenic sarcoma - ANSWER ✓ Malignant tumor of the long bones,
particularlt the femur, commonly metastasizing to the lungs.
,11.Chondroma - ANSWER ✓ Benign tumor of cartilage.
12.Osteoma - ANSWER ✓ Benign tumor of bone.
13.Name the 5 layers of bone in order from outside to inside. - ANSWER ✓
Periosteum, compact, cancellous, endosteum, and marrow.
14.T or F: The term orthopedics refers to straightening the child using braces,
rest, and exercise. - ANSWER ✓ True.
15.T or F: Orthopedic surgery treats a large percentage of infants and women. -
ANSWER ✓ False; infants and geriatrics.
16.T or F: Bones are classified according to shape. - ANSWER ✓ True
17.T or F: Long bones consist of the epiphysis, diaphysis, and bone layers. -
ANSWER ✓ True.
18.AK - ANSWER ✓ Above the knee
19.BK - ANSWER ✓ Below the knee
20.Fx - ANSWER ✓ Fracture
21.AP - ANSWER ✓ Anterior/posterior
22.LAT - ANSWER ✓ Lateral
23.Oblique - ANSWER ✓ Diagnal view
24.Prep for hip surgery - ANSWER ✓ From the umbilicus, over the hip region,
to the entire leg and foot.
25.Prep for knee surgery - ANSWER ✓ Beginning at the knee joint, the prep
extends from immediately below the thigh tourniquet to the toes.
,26.Prep for shoulder surgery - ANSWER ✓ Begin at the top of the shoulder;
prep the area about the shoulder, extending fomr the submandibular region
to the inferior costal margin. Prep beyond the midline on the front of the
chest, down to the table at the back and to the inferior costal margin below.
Prep also includes the axilla, arm and forearm.
27.Distraction - ANSWER ✓ Term used to describe bone fragments that are
seperated so that bone contact does not occur. This can be caused by too
much weight applied to skeletal traction.
28.Avascular necrosis - ANSWER ✓ Occur when the capillary network or
collateral circulation cannot be reestablished follwoing a traumatic injury or
when the vascular system is disrupted by other means.
29.Delayed union - ANSWER ✓ Used to describe an increase in the healing
time of fractures. The reasons are pathalogical (osteoporosis), mechanical
(distraction of the fracture site or inadequate immobilization), or traumatic,
referring to the type of injury sustained.
30.Nonunion - ANSWER ✓ Fractured bones ends do not unite.
31.Malunion - ANSWER ✓ Occurs when the fracture heals in a position that
does not resemble the original anatomical form of the bone and alters the
mechanical funtion of the bone.
32.Compartmental syndrome - ANSWER ✓ An increase in pressure within a
closed space that usually occurs in the forearm and tibia. The fractured ends
of the bone cause excess pressure that leads to neurovascular compromise.
This can happen if a cast if placed on too tight or intracompartmental
bleeding.
33.Cast - ANSWER ✓ Most common method utilized to immobilize a fracture.
34.Fiberglass cast - ANSWER ✓ Stronger than plaster, achieves weight-
bearing, strength faster than plaster, waterproof (but must get dried after
getting wet), durable, and lightweight. Disadvantage: $$$$
, 35.Plaster cast - ANSWER ✓ Inexpensive, easy to manipulate and handle when
applying, strong, and rigid. Disadvantage: Not waterproof, breakdown of
material can lead to reapplication.
36.Splint - ANSWER ✓ A rigid device that is placed on the one side of an
extremity to immobilize and support while healing takes place. Available in
many forms: plastic, wood, metal, and plaster.
37.Short arm cast - ANSWER ✓ applied from below the elbow to the
metacarpal heads; wrist fracture.
38.Long arm cast - ANSWER ✓ Applied from axilla to metacarpal heads;
fracture of forearm or elbow.
39.Short leg cast - ANSWER ✓ Applied from tibial tuberosity to metatarsal
heads; ankle and foot fractures.
40.Long leg cast - ANSWER ✓ Applied from hip to metatarsal heads; fracture
of femur, tibia, fibula, and ankle.
41.Cylinder cast - ANSWER ✓ Applied from the groin to the ankle; required
when complete knee immobilization is desired.
42.Hip spica cast - ANSWER ✓ Applied to trunk, complete leg of affected side,
one-half of unaffected leg.
43.Body jacket cast - ANSWER ✓ Applied to trunk of body to immbolize the
spine.
44.What are the supplies needed for casting... - ANSWER ✓ Disposable bucket
for lukewarm water, webril and stockinette of various sizes, plaster casting
material of various widths and lengths, and heavy-duty scissors.
45.How do you know when the roll of plaster is adequately wet and ready for
application? - ANSWER ✓ When the roll is submerged, you will see
bubbles coming up from the casting material. Once the bubbles stop rising to
the surface then the material is ready to use.
