Chapter 7, Problem 2CCS
45-Year-Old Female with Dislocated Hip
Kayla Tanner, a 45-year-old mother of four, was involved in a car accident. When emergency responders arrived on the scene and extracted her from the car, they found that her right thigh appeared shorter than her left thigh. They also noticed that even slight hip movement caused considerable pain. Suspecting a hip dislocation, they stabilized and transported her.
In the emergency department, doctors discovered a decreased ability to sense light touch in her right foot, and she was unable to move her toes or ankle. Dislocation of her right hip was confirmed by X ray. Mrs. Tanner was sedated to relax the muscles around the hip, and then doctors placed her in the supine position and performed a closed reduction (“popped” the femur back in place).
2. NCLEX-STYLE After hip dislocation and reduction, the nurse would watch the patient carefully for signs of which of these problems?
a. Sciatic nerve injury
b. Instability of the pubic symphysis
c. Inflammation of the sacroiliac joint
d. Damage to the lateral epicondyle

Justiniano worked in a poultry-packing plant, where his job was cutting open chickens and stripping out their visceral organs. After work, he typed for long hours on his computer keyboard, because he was writing a novel based on his work in the plant. Soon, his wrist and hand began to hurt whenever he flexed them, and he began to awaken at night with pain and tingling on the thumb half of his hand. What condition did he probably have?
Jason is a 21-year-old university student presenting with pain in the back of his right thigh. The pain
started yesterday during soccer game. Jason went to kick the ball and felt an immediate 'pull' in the
back of his right upper thigh. He had to limp off the field and reported mild pain in his right
hamstring muscles with most active movements involving knee flexion and extension. Jason can still
walk around without too much discomfort.
b) Suggest what type of injury Jason has sustained and discuss what structures are typically damaged
in muscle strain?
After viewing the MRI and talking with Elaine, Dr. Leutz strongly advised her to have reconstructive surgery
on the ACL and to use conservative therapy on the partially torn medial collateral ligament. First, though,
he wanted her to "pre-hab"-that is, take physical therapy for several weeks-in order to have the knee and
leg in the best possible shape before the surgery. She was also instructed to use a more substantial brace. Dr.
Leutz described the procedure: either a cadaver tendon OR the middle third of her patellar tendon would be
removed and used to replace the ACL, which would be removed. Elaine opted to use her own tendon.
Five weeks later, Elaine went in for surgery. She was given a drug used for conscious sedation as well as a
general anesthetic. Through the arthroscope the surgeon noted significant injury to both the medial and
lateral menisci, which he repaired with sutures and screws. The pieces of the torn ACL were removed. A
superficial incision was made in the midline…

- An 18-year-old high school football player suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the state playoffs. After undergoing repair, he found it difficult to ambulate with the knee brace. Weighing close to 140 kg (approximately 300 pounds), the athlete found it difficult to stand and balance on one leg. His mother was unable to support him by herself. After 1 week, the young man began to have increased pain and swelling in the calf of his affected leg. In the middle of the night, the teen called out to his mother, complaining of a shortness of breath and unexplained anxiety. His mother called 9-1-1, and he was taken to a local hospital. In the emergency department, he was diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis and a pulmonary embolism. Oxygen and low-molecular-weight heparin were administered, and the young man was admitted to the intensive care unit. As a result of the thrombus lodging in the pulmonary circulation, the sympathetic nervous system is activated. Hemodynamically,…arrow_forwardAngus is an 18-year-old young adult, who is riding his skateboard in a city park. He is not wearing protective gear, including a helmet. When a friend distracts his attention, he runs head-on into a planter and is thrown over the planter box onto the concrete, landing on his left side. He immediately experiences pain in his left side, left wrist, and abdomen. His left wrist is angulated and obviously broken.A head-to-toe assessment demonstrates small, superficial scrapes on the patient's forehead and left cheek. His facial structures appear to be intact. Neurologically, he is normal, with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 14. He has no complaints of shortness of breath, and his chest wall shows no obvious external injury. An x-ray of his left wrist shows a comminuted fracture of his left radius and ulna.Angus is taken to the operating room for orthopaedic repair of his left wrist.
