Surgical Technology- orthopedic surgery
Bone - Answer-Osseoia tissue that comprises individual parts if skeleton
Cartilage - Answer-Elastic substance attached to bone surfaces where they meet
Joint - Answer-Fibrous sheath or capsule enclosing bone surfaces where they meet
Ligaments - Answer-Band of exceptionally strong, flexible connective tissue that join two separate bone
surfaces
Tendons - Answer-Fibrous tissue structure that connects muscle tissue to bone other tissue
Articulation - Answer-Point of contact or connection between bones
,cancellous bone - Answer-Spongy bone found at ends of long bones and within flat bones; contains red
marrow
carpometacarpal - Answer-Synovial saddle joint (to thumb) or synovial plane joint (to other digits)
Finger (interphalangeal) - Answer-Synovial hinge joint
Intercarpal - Answer-Synovial plane joint
Joint capsule - Answer-Fibrous sheath that encloses articulate bone surfaces
Knuckle (metacarpophalangeal) - Answer-Synovial Condyloid joint
Synovial - Answer-Membrane that lines joint capsule
Ossification - Answer-Process of bone development and fusion, ending at about 25 years of age
Disarticulation - Answer-Amputation of extremity at the joint
Osteomyelitis - Answer-Infection that causes destruction of bone tissue
exostosis - Answer-Abnormal, benign growth causing build up on bone surfaces; commonly result of
arthritis of first metatarsal joint and causes formation of bunion
206 - Answer-How many bones are in the human body?
, Limb reattachment procedures - Answer-Surgery to reconnect extremity and restore its original
function, though functionality may not be completely restored
Preservation of mobility - Answer-What is the primary goal of upper extremity during orthopedic
procedures?
Lack of blood supply with tissue necrosis - Answer-What is the primary reason for amputation during
orthopedic surgery?
The least amount of tissue is safely amputated - Answer-What is the general rule for amputation?
Investigation, preservation, restoration - Answer-What are the stages of treatment for orthopedic
surgery?
Investigation - Answer-Diagnosis of structural issues
External investigation - Answer-Involves physical manipulation of bones and joints
Internal investigation - Answer-Involves diagnostic tests, including CT or MRI scans and radio graphic
studies
Preservation - Answer-Application of devices, either internally or externally
Restoration - Answer-Return to optimal function, given severity of injury, duration of immobility etc.
Fracture management - Answer-Repair of bone continuity by aligning and stabilizing the break
