Q

Commonly involves the distal fifth metacarpal

A

Boxer’s Fracture

17
Q

Longitudinal fracture at the base of the first metacarpal with the fracture line entering the carpometacarpal joint

A

Bennett’s Fracture

18
Q

Fracture and dislocation of the posterior lip of the distal radius

A

Barton’s Fracture

19
Q

Fracture of distal phalanx from a ball striking end of extended finger

A

Baseball Fracture

20
Q

For those fractures in which there is misalignment requiring restoration to a normal position by manipulation - done without surgery

A

Closed Reduction

21
Q

for severe fractures with significant displacement or fragmentation - a surgical procedure is required

A

Open Reduction

22
Q

Incomplete fracture on one side only. The cortex on one side of bone is broken and the other side is bent

A

Greenstick Fracture

23
Q

A buckle of the cortex in which there is localized expansion or torus of the cortex

A

Torus Fracture

24
Q

Fracture through the epiphyseal plate. It’s one of the most easily fractured sites in long bones of children

A

Epiphyseal Fracture

25
Q

A comminuted fracture of the distal phalanx such as from a crushing blow to the distal finger

A

Tuft/Burst Fracture

26
Q

A fracture involving an isolated bone fragment

A

Chip Fracture

27
Q

Results from severe stress to a tendon or ligament in a joint region. A fragment of bone is separated or pulled away by the attached tendon or ligament

A

Avulsion Fracture

28
Q

The bone is splintered or crushed resulting in two or more fragments

A

Comminuted Fracture

29
Q

break is complete and includes the entire cross-section of bone
3 MAJOR TYPES:

  1. Transverse fx.- fx line is transverse at a near right angle to the long axis of the bone
  2. Oblique fx. - fx. line passes through bone at an oblique angle
  3. Spiral fx. - bone has been twisted apart and the fx. line is spiral in shape
A

Complete Fracture

30
Q

Fracture doesn’t traverse through the entire bone

A

Incomplete (partial) Fracture

31
Q

Bone protrudes through the skin

A

Compound (open) Fracture

32
Q

Bone doesn’t break through the skin

A

Simple (closed) Fracture

33
Q

Type of injury without a fracture or break in the skin

A

Contusion

34
Q

Break in bone

A

Fracture
