Correct – Galen
Neropathic pain - Correct answer pain resulting from damage to peripheral nerves or
central nervous system
Numbness or tingling
Can be caused by acute trauma
Injury to tendon - Correct answer tendonitis
Infection
Repetitive motion
,Blunt trauma - Correct answer an impact on the body by objects that cause injury
without penetrating soft tissues or internal organs and cavities.
Can lead to compartment syndrome; the bleeding doesn't have anywhere to go, causing
an increase of pressure in surrounding areas, constricting capillaries, muscles getting
lack of oxygen
Blood will coagulate/calcify in compartment area
Transverse fracture - Correct answer occurs straight across the bone
Spiral fracture - Correct answer a fracture in which the bone has been twisted apart
Longitudinal fracture - Correct answer a fracture that runs parallel to the long axis of
the bone
Oblique fracture - Correct answer occurs at an angle across the bone
,45 degree angle
Comminuted fracture - Correct answer fracture in which the bone is splintered or
crushed
Impacted fracture - Correct answer broken bone ends are forced into each other
Greenstick fracture - Correct answer bending and incomplete break of a bone; most
often seen in children
Stress fracture - Correct answer a small crack in the bone that often develops from
chronic, excessive impact
Avulsion fracture - Correct answer fragment of bone chipped away from the main
bone
, Some complication of fractures includes: - Correct answer delayed healing,
osteonecrosis, osteomyelitis, compartment syndrome, fat embolism syndrome, dvt, pe,
neuromuscular injury
Dislocation - Correct answer displacement of a bone from its joint
Subluxation - Correct answer partial dislocation
Nonstructural scoliosis - Correct answer resolves when the patient bends to the
affected side
Poor posture
Inflammation
Structural scoliosis - Correct answer fixed deformity that does not correct with
