Question 9
To define "hemat/oma", we analyze the word parts. "Hemat-" relates to blood, and "-oma" means a swelling or tumor (or a mass). Let's check the options: "to hemorrhage" is incorrect (not a definition of hematoma). "Blood slowing" is incorrect. "Blood clot" is a thrombus, not hematoma. "Blood swelling or tumor" matches the meaning of hematoma (a collection of blood, a swelling from blood).
We need to identify the condition that is a tear of the tendons connecting forearm muscles to the elbow. "Ankylosis" is joint stiffness, not tendon tear. "Gout" is a type of arthritis from uric acid crystals. "Subluxation" is partial dislocation. "Tennis elbow" (lateral epicondylitis) involves tearing of tendons at the elbow (connecting forearm muscles to elbow).
