BMS291 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Tennis Elbow, Myoglobinuria, Status Epilepticus
Document Summary
Week 3 musculoskeletal trauma bone fracture & repair. Muscle strain: sudden, forced motion causing the muscles to become stretched beyond its normal capacity. Complete separation of a tendon or ligament form its bony attachment site. Inflammation of a bursa skin over bone, skin over muscle, and muscle and tendon over bone.
