Break a Leg: Musculoskeletal Trauma - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. The break is across the entire width of the bone in such a way that the bone is divided into two distinct sections
    complete fracture
  2. Blood supply to the bone may be disrupted, causing decreased perfusion and death of bone tissue,
    avascular necrosis
  3. screws are surgically inserted directly into bone (ex femoral condyles for distal femur fractures), 15-30 pounds of pulling force, more invasive
    skeletal traction
  4. drug therapy for fractures
    opioids, non-opioid drugs, NSAIDS, regional nerve block
  5. A surgical procedure in which metal pins, screws, rods, plates, or prostheses are inserted inside the body to immobilize a fracture during healing
    internal fixation
  6. some of the major infections that can occur following fracture
    osteomyelitis, gangrene, tetanus, superfical wound infection, MRSA, abscess
  7. occurs after minimal trauma to a bone that has been weakened by disease. For example, a patient with bone cancer or osteoporosis can easily have
    fragility fracture
  8. A simple fracture does not extend through the skin and therefore has no visible wound.
    closed fracture
  9. top nursing intervention when managing acute compartment syndrome
    remove bulky dressing/cast/splint
  10. The skin surface over the broken bone is disrupted in a compound fracture, which causes an external wound.
    open fracture
  11. It is the most common complication of lower extremity surgery or trauma and the most often fatal complication
    venous thromboembolism
  12. The application of a pulling force to a part of the body to provide bone alignment or relief of muscle spasm
    traction
  13. treatment strategies for nonunion
    electrical bone stimulation, bone grafting, ultrasound treatment
  14. pallor, pain, pulselessness, poiklothermia, pressure, paralysis, paresthesia
    acute compartment syndrome
  15. type of skin traction, 5-10 pounds of pulling force, not invasive
    Buck traction
  16. surgeon cuts through muscle to relieve pressure to treat acute compartment syndrome
    fasciotomy
  17. Realignment of the bone ends for proper healing that is accomplished by a closed (nonsurgical) method or an open (surgical) procedure
    bone reduction
  18. dyspnea, tachypnea, petechia rash, confusion, lethargy
    fat embolism syndrome
  19. dysfunction of the central and peripheral nervous systems that leads to severe, persistent pain and other symptoms.
    complex regional pain syndrome
  20. A surgical procedure in which pins or wires are inserted through the skin and affected bone and then connected to a rigid external frame outside the body to immobilize the fracture during healing
    external fixation
  21. #1 risk factor for hip fracture
    osteoporosis
  22. results from excessive strain and stress on the bone. This problem is commonly seen in recreational and professional athletes.
    stress fatigue fracture
  23. Infection can result from impaired tissue integrity under the cast (pressure necrosis) If pressure necrosis occurs, the patient typically reports a very painful “hot spot” under the cast
    pressure necrosis
  24. fracture where bone alignment is altered or disrupted, The ends of bone sections of are more likely to this fracture are more likely to damage surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and other soft tissues.
    displaced fracture
