This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Muscle tearing away from bone - pain on both sides of shin - small muscles in shin attach directly to bone - not by tendon - when overuse occurs these mucles pull on periosteum causing inflammation and pain






2. An acute fractrue chunk of bone is torn away usually in fingers






3. 1. inversion-most common - bottom of foot goes in 2. bottom of foot goes out - there is a high risk of fracture 3. plantar flexion-toes to ground 4. dorsiflexion-toes up to shin






4. Tearing up to 2 ligaments out 2-4 weeks






5. Thickening of outer layer of skin from constant friction. can soften skin and trim excess callus tissue - donut padmay help with pain






6. No return to activity. one full week of rest - test with excertion make sure symptoms dont come back






7. Before the injury






8. Seperation of outer layer of skin from theinner layer and fluid or blood accumulates. drain fluid with sterile pin - leave loose skin if still alive






9. Repeated pull of patella tendon at tibial tuberosity on front of femur - pain at attachement of patella tendon - occurs in young athletes when grwoing to fast - they will eventurally grow out of it - cant really treat just ice a sleeve may help






10. Varus - connects from lateral femoral condyle to the fibular head - injured when receive blow to medial portion of knee






11. A foot with a high longitudinal arch






12. Most serious - pressure buildup due to trauma and overuse - can cause numbness and tinglingin lower leg and/or foot - very serious and can cause loss of function






13. Weakness of a bone - only way to heal it is rest for apoximatly four weeks - overuse injury - caused by a change in training - rapid gain in weight - training surface - shoes - predisposition - flat orhigh arches - localized pain - increased pain aft






14. Rupture of flexor digitorum profundus tendon






15. Sling shoulder injuries






16. Return to activity in 15-30 min if symptoms resolve - usually out 3 days - 1 weeks if symptoms dont resolve in 15 min






17. Leg bones= tibia+fibula meet the tarsal bones to form the talocrural joint






18. A foot with a high longitudinal arch






19. Apply compression with horeshoe to minimize swelling remember compression is more important than ice ace wrap starts at foot - move up as you wrap






20. Subscapularis






21. An acute fracture goes down bone






22. Tendonitis of the medial tendon






23. Inflammation of a tendon - **** splint - general pain - decreased pain after warming up






24. Synovial






25. Main stabilizing ligament in knee - lachmans - vital to function of knee - knee gives out when injured - need surgery - stops the femurfrom rolling too far on top of the tibia - injured from rotation and hyperextension






26. Pop of the achilles tendon - surgery is needed - dectectable with thompson test - squeeze back of calf - foot should move - sometimes calf balls up






27. Ice - insoles - orthotics. strengthen affected muscle - stretch gastric and soleus - modify workouts






28. Have athlete stand with feet together and check their balance if they sway then it is a positive test for a condussion






29. Humerous pops out of joint - but pops in on its own - leads to instability






30. A common site for contusions is the hee - heel cups can help with pain






31. Blunt trauma - or fall on the head - severe headache - nasua - skull indentation - nose bleed - bleeding ears - black eyes - discoloration behind ears- battle sign - cerbospinal fluid from ears and nose -its yellowish






32. Fungal infection - feness - scaling - cracking and itching between toes. treat by drying foot thoroughly after shower and applying fungicide - wear clean white socks






33. An acute fracture most likely in hand it is squishy when you palpate it






34. Cartilage on top of tibia - shock absorption between tibia and femur - injured or torn by becoming trapped - pinched or crushed between femur and tibia - person complains of locking with injury






35. Have athlete stand with feet together and check their balance if they sway then it is a positive test for a condussion






36. Pain on back - medial part of shin - not localized - pain with resisted plantar flexion and/or inversion - pain decreases after blood flow is improved






37. Muscle tearing away from bone - pain on both sides of shin - small muscles in shin attach directly to bone - not by tendon - when overuse occurs these mucles pull on periosteum causing inflammation and pain






38. Any loss of consciousness - nausea and vomiting - glazed eyes - ringing in ears - dizziness






39. Any loss of consciousness - nausea and vomiting - glazed eyes - ringing in ears - dizziness






40. Plantar fasciitis - muscle or tendon - morning pain






41. An acute fracture broken in 3 or more pieces






42. A common site for contusions is the hee - heel cups can help with pain






43. Confusion - no loss of consciousness - symptoms reslolve in 15 min






44. Inflammation of the rotator cuff tendon treat withice nsaids and rest need to strenghten






45. 5thmetacarpal fracture - punching something - pain over 5th metacarpa - swelling - needs a cast






46. Tendonitis of the medial tendon






47. Fastest joint in the body - made up sternum - clavicle - humerus - and scapula






48. Blow strikes tip of finger - jamming and avulsing the tendon - from its insertion - pain in distal interphalangal joint






49. Fascia is thick - fibrous tissue that helps support the arch - very common injury - esp in runners - freeze water bottle and roll it under foot - insoles are also very helpful






50. Sprain to the first metatarsal phalangeal joint (big toe) ice and tape rest if possible
