45-Year-Old Female with Dislocated Hip
In the previous chapter, you met Kayla Tanner, a 45-year-old mother of four who suffered a dislocated right hip in a car accident. Prior to the closed reduction, the doctors noted that her right thigh was flexed at the hip, adducted, and medially rotated. A widened joint space in the postreduction X ray showed that the reduction was not complete, but no bone fragments were visible in the joint space. Mrs. Tanner was scheduled for immediate surgery.
The surgeons discovered that the acetabular labrum had detached from the rim of the acetabulum and was lying deep within the joint space. The detached portion of the labrum was excised, and the hip was surgically reduced. During the early healing phase (first two weeks), Mrs. Tanner was kept in traction with the thigh abducted.
6. Hip dislocations are classified as anterior or posterior depending on which direction the head of the femur is facing after it dislocates. Based on the description from question 5, which type of dislocation did Mrs. Tanner suffer?

Please review and rewrite the names in the space below. When appropriate include the function of the structure.

This term is related to the term “metatarsals.” What are metatarsals, where are they located, and how do you think they are related to metatarsalgia? High heels can cause stress fractures, which are small cracks in the bone that usually appear after repeated mechanical stress, instead of after a significant acute injury. What other condition described in this chapter involves a similar process? What are bunions and osteoarthritis of the knee? Why do you think they can be caused by wearing high heels?arrow_forwardJL, a 50-year-old woman, fell and broke the left tibia at the ankle. She is in the emergency department, waiting for the fracture to be immobilized. The leg hurts and she notes that the ankle is red and swollen. A diagnosis of a simple fracture and sprain (damage to ligaments) is made. What is the rationale for immobilizing the fractured bone? Include in your explanation a discussion of why movement of the affected area is painful. She is told to come back to the fracture clinic in 24 hours to have her cast checked. What could happen to the inflamed tissue if the edema increases in the casted area? What warning signs and symptoms will you look for?arrow_forward

- During a mountain biking accident, your 45 year old sister and her excitable 14 year old daughter each suffered a broken arm. Your sister sustained a compound (open) mid-shaft humeral fracture and was treated with open reduction & internal fixation using a plate & screws. Your niece sustained a simple ulnar fracture and was treated with closed reduction and a cast. After their 6 week follow-up visit, your niece says "Compared to mom, my arm doesn't even looked healed, it has a big bump on it in the x-ray picture!" and exclaims its unfair her arm remains in a "clumsy cast!". Based on concepts you have learned about bone fracture and healing and fracture repair, explain to your niece 1) the process of healing that has occurred in her fracture since her accident; and 2) why there are differences on her x-ray compared to her mom's. Please use terminology AND your ability to explain their meanings in words a 14 year old can understand. Use only one page to answer).

Note that because all types of vertebrates evolved from a common ancestor, they have similar bones and synovial joints (see example of upper limbs below). In this online class, students are not required to dissect a chicken wing, which is often used to observe examples of synovial joints. However, in the space below, using the drawings below or online sources, please draw the wing of the chicken, labeling the humerus, elbow joint, radius, ulna, wrist joint, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges: Humerus Carpals Metacarpals O Phalanges Radius Ulna OOOarrow_forward
