occurs when one overextends or tears a ligament while severely stressing a joint
How can you prevent a sprain?
strengthening muscles, regular stretching, wearing muscle braces
How can you prevent a strain?
strengthening muscles, regular stretching, wearing muscle braces
What is a strain?
the stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon
What is an acute strain?
when a muscle becomes strained or pulled
What is a chronic strain?
comes from prolonged, repetetive movement of a muscle
What causes an acute strain?
slipping and falling, running/jumping/throwing, lifting a weight or heavy object in an awkward position
What causes a chronic strain?
jobs required manual labor, sports (gymnastics, tennis, rowing, golf)
What are the six types of synovial joints?
gliding (plane), saddle, hinge, pivot, ball-and-socket, ellipsoid
What is a plane or gliding joint?
consists of two opposed flat surfaces of about equal size in which a slight gliding motion can occus between two bones. monoaxial
What are examples of plane or gliding joints?
carples and metacarples 2-5, ribs and vertebrae, between carples, between tarsles, tarsel and metatarsels
What is a saddle joint?
consists of two saddle-shaped, articulating surfaces oriented at right angles to each other so that the complementary surfaces articulate with each other
What are examples of saddle joints?
carpal and metacarpal of the thumb, between carpals, manubrium of the sternum, clavicle
What is a hinge joint?
monoaxial, consist of a convex cylinder in one bone applies to a corresponding concavity in the other bone.
What are examples of hinge joints?
elbow, knee, humorous/ulna/radius, femur/tibia, between phalanges, talus/fibula/tibia
What is a pivot joint?
consist of a relatively cylindrical bony process that rotates within a ring somposed partly of bone and partly of ligament
What are examples of pivot joints?
atlas/axis, radius/ulna,
What is a ball-and-socket joint?
consist of a ball (head) at the end of one bone and a socket in an adjacent bone into which a portion of the ball fits.
What are examples of ball-and-socket joints?
matecarpals/phalanges, matetarsals/phalanges, raduis/carpals, mandible/temporal bone
What is a greenstick fracture?
is imcomplete, and the break occurs on the convex surface of the bend in the bone.
What is a fissured fracture?
an imcomplete longitudinal break
What is a comminuted fracture?
is complete and fragments the bone
What is a transverse fracture?
the break is complete, and occurs at a right angle to the axis of the bone
What is an oblique fracture?
occurs at an angle other than a right angle a right angle to the axis of the bone
What is a spiral fracture?
caused by excessive twisting of the bone
What is the first step in a healing fracture?
blood escapes from ruptured blood vessels and forms a hematoma
What is the second step in a healing fracture?
spongy bone forms in regions close to developing blood vessels and fibrocartilage forms in more distant regions
What is the third step in a healing fracture?
a bony callus replaces fibrocartilage
What is the fourth step in a healing fracture?
osteoclasts remove excess bony tissue, restoring new bone structure much like the original
