Describing fractrues Flashcards
(20 cards)
rule of 2 is
2 - views - at 90 degres to each other, ap and lateral
2 - joints - avoe and below
2 bones - (if aparoat3e aie radial and ula
2 occasion - e.g. scaphoid may not show up to two weeks after)
most fracture desction bones are diveded in how many parts
3 - thrids
types of simple factres are
transverese
oblique
spiratal
types of complex fractuers are
segmenal , commitued
transvre fractures is usually caued by
direct trama/ blow
oblique fractures is usually cased by
bending moment of force with slight rotation
oblieuq freacturs is always cauded
rotation foces
spiranl fracteus look like
a cork screw
obliwue fractues look like
a line across the bone
a commited fractue is
a fracutes in more than 2 parts
types of fracture deforintmy include
displacement , angulation, and roation
a butterfly fracutre is part of which group of fracues
it look like
commited
look like two lines meeting at a point causing a wedge to be realed
displacement is?
where the boe moves in an antiero/ poster or later direction
angulation is?
where the bone twisi bends like a hinge on the axis
rotation is ?
where the bone roation along the axis
axil deformity is either
impaction of bone (space betwen fracures decreses) , distraction - soft tiseu interpion (widening of space between fracteus
or overlapping due to mucel spasm cuaign shortening
incomplete fracteu types inlcude
bowing
bukcle
greenstick
green stick is where
the fracue si on the convex surface
ie bone bends and cracks on the opposite side deide
bucke fracture is
the bone bends reuslign in a bulge
a bowing fracrue is
the bening of the long bone
