MUSCULOSKELETAL FUNCTION QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS)
ALREADY GRADED A+
What type of fracture occurs at a site of a preexisting bone abnormality
and is a result of a force that would not normally cause a fracture?
Pathologic Ans✓✓✓RATIONAL
Only a pathologic fracture is a break at the site of a preexisting
abnormality, usually by force that would not fracture a normal bone.
Which type of fracture usually occurs in an individual who engages in a
new activity that is strenuous and repetitive?
Stress Ans✓✓✓RATIONAL
Only a stress fracture occurs in normal or abnormal bone that is
subjected to repeated
stress, such as repetitive and strenuous activities that occur during
athletics.
Which term is used to identify the temporary displacement of two bones
causing the bone surfaces to partially lose contact?
,Subluxation Ans✓✓✓RATIONAL
Dislocation is the temporary displacement of a bone from its normal
position in a joint. If the contact between the two surfaces is only
partially lost, then the injury is referred to as a subluxation.
Improper reduction or immobilization of a fractured femur can result in
which outcome after cast removal?
The bone is not straight. Ans✓✓✓RATIONAL
Improper reduction or immobilization of a fractured bone may result in
nonunion, delayed
union, or malunion. Malunion is the healing of a bone in a nonanatomic
position that could result in the bone not being straight.
Which structure attaches skeletal muscle to bone?
Tendon Ans✓✓✓RATIONAL
A tendon is fibrous connective tissue that attaches skeletal muscle to
bone.
The tear in a ligament is referred to as a:
, Sprain Ans✓✓✓RATIONAL
Ligament tears are commonly known as sprains.
Which medical diagnosis is characterized by tissue degeneration or
irritation of the
extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon?
Lateral epicondylitis Ans✓✓✓RATIONAL
Only lateral epicondylopathy, commonly called tennis elbow, is the
result of tissue
degeneration or irritation of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon at
its origin.
The pain resulting from tendon and ligament injuries is usually
described as:
Sharp and localized, persisting over the distribution of the tendon or
ligament Ans✓✓✓RATIONAL
The pain resulting from tendon and ligament injuries is usually
described as being sharp and localized, persisting over the distribution of
the tendon or ligament.
