Dislocation A dislocation occurs when the articulating surfaces of a joint come out of position.
CAUSES Trauma Disease that affects the joint Congenital weakness
SIGN AND SYMPTOMS Pain Loss of movement Pulselessness Paresthesia
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION History collection Physical examination X-rays
MANAGEMENT Open(surgical) or closed reduction (non-surgical) Immobilization and elevate the affected joint, apply ice Pain relief(analgesics) Assess neurovascular status before and after reduction Including sensation, strength of pulse, capillary refill time, and color of skin.
SPRAIN A sprain is excessive stretching of one or more ligaments that usually results from twisting movements during a sports activity, exercise, or fall. Like strains, sprains also vary in severity.
CAUSES Mild sprain (tearing of few ligament fibers) Moderate sprain (more ligament fibers are torn, but stability of joint is not affected) Severe pain (causes instability of the joint and requires surgical interventions)
MANAGEMENT RICE(rest, ice, compression, elevation) is used for several days until swelling and pain diminish. Anti-inflammatory drugs (decrease inflammation and control pain) Moderate sprains may need immobilization with a brace or cast until healing occurs.
STRAIN A strain is a soft tissue injury that occurs when a muscle or tendon is excessively stretched
CAUSES Fall Twisting or getting hit can force to joint out its position Ligament and joints tears and stretching
SIGN AND SYMPTOMS Pain and inability to move the affected body part result. The most severe strain occurs when a muscle or tendon is ruptured, with separation of muscle from muscle, tendon from muscle, or tendon from bone. Severe pain and disability result from this injury.
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION History collection Physical examination
MANAGEMENT RICE is an acronym for rest, ice, compression, and elevation. These four components are the basis of therapy for strain injuries. Immediately after a strain, ice should be applied to decrease pain, swelling, and inflammation.
FRACTURE
Osteogenesis imperfecta:
Rickets :
Osteomalacia :
Open reduction
Simple (closed) fracture
Compound (closed)fracture
Comminuted fracture
Impacted fracture
Angulated fracture
AMPUTATION Amputation: Is the removal of a body extremity by trauma or surgery. As a surgical measure, it is used to control pain or a disease process in the affected. Amputation: The surgical removal of a part of the body, a limb or part of a limb.
INDICATIONS Long-standing infections of bone and tissue that prohibit restoration of function Extensive trauma to an extremity Peripheral vascular disease Uncontrolled or wide thermal injuries Malignant tumours Spread infection of extremities ( e.g gas gangrene, osteomyelitis) Congenital disease Life threatening disorders, such as arterial thrombosis and gas bacillus infections
TYPES Amputated finger Amputated thumb Amputated arm Amputated toe Amputated leg Amputated lower leg
AMPUTATION METHODS Open amputation Closed amputation
Open amputation In open amputation (guillotine amputation) the end of the residual limb, or stump is temporarily open with no skin covering the sumps. Open amputation are usually performed in the presence of infection. Skin traction is applied, and the infected area allowed to drain. The traction must be continuous. The surgeon may arrange the traction so that the client turns over in bed.
Closed amputation In this type of amputation, skin flaps cover the several done end. They usually return from a surgery with either a soft compression dressing or rigid plaster shell covering the residual limb. The compression dressing consist of a gauze over which elastic roller bandages are warped to create pressure to control bleeding.
ANESTHESIA:
MUSCULOSKELETAL INFECTIONS AND TUMORS
Osteomyelitis Osteomyelitis is an acute infection of the bone caused by bacteria, although fungi and viruses may play a main role. It may be chronic and acute.
Etiology Trauma, surgery Infection originating from other body part Kidney dialysis (hemodialysis lead to bactremia) IV drug users Organism (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogones , Pneumococcus species, Escherichia coli)
Clinical features Fever Chills Malaise Pain on movement of the infected extremities Localized redness, tenderness and edema Drainage of pus
Diagnostic evaluation History collection Physical examination Blood test (WBC, ESR and blood culture) CT scan and MRI bone scan bone tissue aspiration joint fluid aspiration
Medical management Antibiotic therapy (ciprofloxacin, vancomycin) Antifungal medication (amphotercin, itraconazole) Analgesics (acetaminophen) Immobilization Incision and drainage (drain abscess in bone)
Bone tumors Bone tumors may be malignant or benign. Malignant tumors are primary, originating in the bone or originating from else ware in the body. Benign bone tumors have the potential to cause fractures of bone. ETIOLOGY: unknown
Clinical features Pain that worsens when bearing weight Bone appears deformed and swelling is seen Movement is decreased
Diagnostic features History collection Xray Bone scan Bone biopsy
Management Treatment for pain management Surgical excision of tumors
MALIGNANT TUMORS are abnormal osteoblast or myoblast that exhibit rapid and uncontrolled growth. ETIOLOGY : Due to exposure of radiation Toxic chemicals Genetic CLINICAL FEATURES : Abnormal gait Persistent pain and swelling In late stage, tumor rises to other site
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION : History collection Xray MRI Bone scan Bone biopsy SURGICAL MANAGEMENT: Surgical removal of tumor and amputation

METABOLIC BONE DISORDER
Osteomalacia Rare condition Associated with vitamin d deficiency Decalcification and softening of bone This disease is same as rickets in children
Etiology Lack of exposure sun rays GI malabsorption Extensive burns Chronic diarrhoea Pregnancy Kidney disease Drugs such as phenytion
Clinical features Low back and bone pain Progressive muscular weakness Especially in the pelvic region Weight loss Kyphosis Bowing of the legs, occurs as the disease advances Risk of fractures
Diagnostic features History collection Physical examination X- ray Blood test: Calcium and phosphate Medical management
Medical management Correcting the underlying the causes Supplementation of vitamin D, adequate nutr Exposure of sunlight and progressive exercise Early ambulation surgical correction of bone deformity
OSTEOPOROSIS Osteoporosis or porous bone (fragile bone disease) is a chronic progregressive metabolic bone disease characterised by: low bone mass structural deterioration of the bone tissue leading to increased fragility.
Risk factor Advanced age Female gender Thin, small framed Family history of osteoporosis Diet low in calcium Excessive use of alcohol Cigrette smoking Inactive life style Excess caffeine levels
clinical features bons becomes so weak that a sudden strain, bump or fall cause a hip,vertical or wrist fracture collapsed vertebrae may initially be manifested as a beck pain loss of weight spinal deformities

Paget’s Disease Paget's disease, is a slowly progressive bone disease characterized by accelerated patterns of bone remodeling. An initial phase of excessive bone resorption (osteoclastic phase) is followed by a reactive phase of excessive abnormal bone formation (osteoblastic phase). Chronic accelerated remodeling eventually enlarges and softens the affected bones. The new bone structure, which is chaotic, fragile, and weak, causes painful deformities of both external contour and internal structure. Paget's disease usually localizes in one or several areas of the skeleton (most frequently the lumbosacral spine, skull, pelvis, femur, and tibia
Etiology Unknown Infections Benign or malignant bone tumors Vitamin D deficiency during the bone-developing years of childhood Autoimmune disease Estrogen deficiency
clinical features usually severe and persistent pain cranial enlargement over frontal and occipital area sensory abnormalities and impaired motor function kyphosis barrel chest asymmetric bowing of the tibia and femur waddling gait slow and incomplete healing of fractures

management Analgesics such as aspirin or NSAID Antibiotics (mithramycin) Physical therapy
Clinical Manifestation joints which are majorly affected are weight bearing joints (hips and knee) and small joint in fingers. the joint involvement is very slow, progressive and irreversible. the cartilage fails and there is increased pressure on articular bone, joint pain increases with exercise and releived with rest.
