Define dislocation vs subluxation
Dislocation: occurs when the two articular surfaces of a joint are no longer in contact; puts more stress on surrounding soft tissues and NV structures and is more likely to cut off blood supply to 1 of the joint surfaces bc of the severe pressure that can be put on the surrounding vessels Subluxation: occurs when there is only partial contact between articular surfaces. There is still disruption of the nl joint alignment, but not as serious as dislocation

As colchicine is indicated only for the treatment of acute gout, patients with chronic gout are normally not treated with colchicine between gouty episodes, especially if they are receiving the chronic gout medication allopurinol. T/F
F Colchicine is a first-line tx for acute gout. Allopurinol, a chronic gout medication, is given b/t gouty episodes for pts with chronic gout. As allopurinol can precipitate an acute gout attack, colchicine should be given to all pts receiving allopurinol.
An active 35 y/o M acutely tears his pectoralis major when weight lifting. He tells you the Arnold Classic is coming up in 3 mos. He asks - can I rehab this and have surgery in 3 mos - and expect the same outcome. You should tell him - no worries - there is no difference in the repair and outcomes if you do the surgery now or wait even up to 6 mos T/F
F Any traumatic tendon rupture anywhere in body will atrophy/scar down/retract and become very very difficult to fix if wait too long. For pec major rupture, if you wait 3-6 mos to address it, you might not be able to repair it
Chronic, attritional tears of tendons are generally treated with prompt surgery to prevent further tendon degeneration T/F
F First line of tx for chronic attritional tears, as opposed to acute traumatic tendon tears, is nonoperative management
Supraspinatus = most commonly injured RTC tendon and injury to this tendon affects ability of pt to externally rotate arm T/F

Pts with an untreated type III AC separation (complete rupture AC and CC ligaments) will have a slight permanent loss of active elevation of the shoulder, but it should not be symptomatic T/F
F Instability of coracoclavicular joint has no effect on forward elevation of shoulder
Intra-articular ligaments have greater healing potential than extra-articular ligaments because they are nourished by synovial fluid inside the joint. T/F
F Intra-articular ligaments have much lower innate healing potential because the intra-articular environment does not promote healing
The ACL has a higher healing potential than the MCL because it is intra-articular and is nourished by synovial fluid: T/F
F Intra-articular ligaments such as the ACL have poorer healing capacity. The intra-articular environment is quite hostile to ligament healing. Extra-articular ligaments such as the MCL have high healing potential

F Most pts in 50s, 60s have degenerative tears of the RTC.
An athlete with a complete separation of the AC joint (AC and CC ligaments torn) should urgently proceed with surgery: T/F
F Nearly always try rehab if grade III AC. Many do well w/o surg. Unlike traumatic tendon tears (short window time for good repair). Can't repair CC ligaments - (always reconstruct with some donor graft so surg is the same immediately vs 1 yr later.)
Complete patellar tendon ruptures can generally be treated nonoperatively without significant functional loss T/F
F Nonoperative mgmt generally yields poor functional outcome and is reserved for poor surgical candidates
Urgent surgical intervention is common for ruptures of the long head of the biceps T/F
F Ruptures of LHB are common. LHB has almost no effect on strength of shoulder, so main ramification of tear is popeye deformity and most of these tears are degenerative so no surgical fix
An active 50 y/o pt presents with a large, acute, traumatic RTC tear after falling down the stairs. Tx should always start with PT T/F
F Treat acute/traumatic/large RTC tears aggressively, often proceed quickly to surgery or the tendon can atrophy/retract and scar down -> unfixable Degenerative tears start with rehab/PT

The Americans with Disabilities Act only applies to people who are born with a disability: T/F
F:
trigger fingers or "stenosing tenosynovitis" is most commonly seen in the finger extensors: T/F
F: trigger fingers occur due to discrepancy in flexor tendons, vs A1s pulleys: the flexor tendons thus get caught on the pulley when a pt flexes their finger and they have trouble getting them back out to extension

***A 33 y.o. pt is in an MVA and c/o arm pain and inability to extend elbow. Without knowing any other part of his exam at this point what are your possible options for why he can't extend his elbow? (Pick all correct) He has a brachioradialis rupture He has an injury to the radial n in the spiral groove He has a high injury to the radial n He has an acute disc herniation affecting the C5 nerve root He has a triceps tendon rupture Weakness from disuse
He has a high injury to the radial n He has a triceps tendon rupture Triceps = sole/major extender of elbow, so rupture of tendon would eliminate the ability to extend the elbow. High radial nerve injury would affect the triceps as the radial nerve sends its branch to innervate the triceps very proximal. When the radial nerve is in the spiral groove, it has already innervated the triceps, so injury here would not affect triceps fn. Just had MVA indicates acute not chronic C5 does not affect elbow extension but elbow flexion.

Healed tendons are generally larger, but weaker than the same ligament pre-injury

Differentiate the structural characteristics of woven and lamellar bone, and cancellous (spongy, trabecular) and compact (cortical, dense) bone
Primary bone tissue = woven/immature - 1st made, very disorganized Secondary bone tissue = lamellar/mature - highly organized, put after 1ry broken down by osteoclasts - concentric circles Cancellous = spongy Compact = cortical, both = secondary bone tissue in adults Compact & Spongy histologically look same - both secondary/lamellar bone - compact has osteons, spongy don't (no central canal) - but both have concentric circles - osteocytes in spongy bone have canaliculi to obtain from red/yellow marrow, passing inward (opposite of compact bone)
Why is an accurate x-ray description important?

Corticosteroids (prednisone, cortisone, etc.) are often used for severe, symptomatic gout. Which one of the following statements regarding corticosteroid-use for tx of chronic gout is incorrect? a) The widespread gene regulation (via corticosteroid pharmacotherapy) causes catabolic and anti-anabolic effects as well as immunosuppressive effects and potentially can cause adrenal insufficiency with chronic corticosteroid pharmacotherapy. b) Triamcinolone, betamethasone and dexamethasone are longer-acting corticosteroids c) Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory properties due to their intercellular regulation of genes d) A "side benefit" of corticosteroids is improvement in osteoporosis development and symptomology e) The shorter-acting corticosteroids (prednisone, cortisone) are available in PO formulations
