Discussion 1. What is meant by a "complete, comminuted, intertrochanteric fracture of the right hip"? A complete fracture is a complete break between parts of the bone. Comminuted means that part of the broken bone has shattered into smaller pieces. Intertrochanteric refers to the area of a bone that rests between trochanters.
If the child is unconscious you will need to make sure the airway is open and put the child into the recovery position. Compression: A compression is bleeding or swelling within the skull, this is an extremely serious condition as the brain is placed under pressure. The symptoms would be the same as those of a child with concussion. If the child is unconscious in any of the instances the child should be put into the recovery position, making sure an airway is maintained. You will need to keep them still and keep monitoring their breathing until an ambulance has arrived.
History of Injury: Professional medical treatment should be had quickly after any believed dislocation. For the most part, a dislocated shoulder is kept in its current position by use of a splint or sling. A pillow placed between the arm and torso can be of use for support and comfort. Strong analgesics are needed to calm any pain of the dislocation. Emergency department care is for rejoining the shoulder to its natural state with procedures called reducution.
Explain the muscle anatomy or the hip and what function each muscle group performs. Discuss in detail how a femur fracture may be life threatening to an athlete. 31. Explain what myositis ossificans is and how it may develop. Myositis ossificans means that bone forms within muscle due to a blunt injury that causes deep tissue bleeding in an athlete.
Undertake agreed pressure Area care (2024) Outcome 1 1) Describe the anatomy and physiology of the skin in relation to skin breakdown and the development of pressure sores.. There are four stages in relation to the skin breaking down which causes pressure sores, it’s important that the correct staging is done because this determines the sort of medical treatment an individual may require. Stage 1 - Skin may appear reddened like a bruise, the integrity of the skin remains intact - there are no breaks or tears, but the area is at high risk of further breakdown. Stage 2 - The skin breaks open, wears away and forms an ulcer. Stage 3 - The sore worsens and extends beneath the skin surface, forming a small crater.
The procedure is used to help realign the kneecap to a more normal position and relieve pressure on the articular cartilage. In this procedure, the lateral retinaculum is cut and released; this allows the kneecap to return to proper tracking in the trochlear groove (Figure 10). The ligaments heal overtime, and scar tissue fills in the gap left by the surgery (25). In some cases, if a lateral release is not enough, ligament tightening procedures may be the next step for a severe patellar misalignment. This is where the surgeon may also need to realign the quadriceps mechanism, when the tendons on the inside edge of the knee (the medial side) may have to be tightened as well (26).
However, X-Rays are largely used to examine broken bones. Jason is given an MRI scan rather than an X ray because a muscular disorder is suspected. 2. Why do Jason’s symptoms develop during the season and not during training? Answer: Excessive use of shoulder leads to inflammation and pain in the rotator cuff, the collection of muscles, tendons, and cartilage that stabilize the shoulder joint.
Regular ankle strengthening exercises are recommended to reduce the rick of getting an ankle sprain or reinjuring an ankle. Ligaments that are injured are the anterior talofibular ligament, which is the most common ligament to be injured, posterior talofibular ligament this ligament is rarely injured and also the calcaneofibular ligament. Most ankle sprains include the anterior talofibular ligament and the calcaneofibular ligament. With any ankle sprain if there is any worry about dislocation or fracture the person should be immobilized and needs to be seen. When someone sprains an ankle there will be swelling, bruising and tenderness and the pain will be at the lateral part of the ankle and sometimes at the medial part.
Hot/Cold Packs: With any sprain, strain or bruise there is some bleeding into the underlying tissues. This may cause swelling and pain and can delay healing. Cold treatment may be used in both the immediate treatment of soft tissue injuries and in later rehabilitation. During immediate treatment, the aim is to limit the body's response to injury. Cold will: * Reduce bleeding into the tissues.
The next step is sedating the patient with the use of anesthesia or sedatives; a plastic surgeon sedates or completely anesthetizes patients prior to the start of surgery. Depending on the nature of the procedure, this is done with the assistance of a nurse and/or an anesthesiologist. Another thing is reconstructive surgery. A plastic surgeon may perform reconstructive surgery, with repairs from trauma or defects inflicted on a patient. For example, if a patient were severely burned, a surgeon might perform a skin grafting, removing dead skin and replacing it with tissue from another body part.
