MODULE SUPPLEMENT: MUSCULO-SKELETAL SYSTEM
Case 1

Consider the vignette that is also presented in the module on neurological changes (Note: this link will open in a new browser window):

Mrs. Craigner, an 82 year old Caucasian woman, is brought to the emergency room after experiencing a fall at home. She is alert and oriented but complains of pain over her left hip and side. On questioning, Mrs. Craigner notes that she tripped and fell when her cat ran in front of her, distracting her for a moment, while she was trying to get to the bathroom.
