Is not a straight path, can be a path of going right to invasive, but most of the time the process of moving from non invasive to invasive

25
Inter articular
Fracture involves the joint
26
Extra articular
Fracture does not involve the joint
27
Angulation
what angle the fracture is at
28
Apex position
anterior or posterior
29
proximal humerus
shoulder
30
midshaft tibia
shin
31
metadiaphyseal femur
thigh
32
distal radius
wrist
33
Varus
deviates inward
34
Valgus
away from midline
35
Avulsion
Tendon or ligament that pulls the bone - distal ulna - medial distal tibia -proximal humerus
36
Nightstick fracture
ulna
37
monteggia fracture
dislocation of radial head
38
Hip Fractures
Can involve head neck and trochanters
39
Neck
fracture in neck of femur lead to AUN
40
Intertrochanter
Fracture between greater and lesser trochanter
41
Subtrochanteric
below 5cm of the lesser trochanter very instable fracture
42
Healing stages
1. Hematoma blood clot forms around the site 2. Inflammation -cells and microphages, stem cells form granulation tissues 3. Soft Callus - 2 weeks after, stiffer immobilization = lesser amount of callus flexible = abundant amount of callus 4. Hard callus
43
Primary healing
absolute stability, meaning this needs surgical intervention to be able to heal.
44
secondary bone healing
heals naturally through callus formation
45
Neer
proximal humerus
46
Garden
femoral neck
47
schatzker
tibia plateau
48
weber
ankle
49
Tscherne
Soft tissues
50
AO / OTA
this is done in a numerical and alphabetic
51

On the bone
1. Proximal 2. Midshaft 3. Distal
61
A
simple fractures
62
B
Wedge fractures
63
c
multifragmentation pieces
64
4 AO principals
1. Anatomical reduction- achieve proper alignment of fractured bones 2. Stable internal Fixation - Ensure stabilization of bone with internal devices, method is chosen by extent of injury 3. Preservation of blood - maintain circulation of blood to area that is injured to promote healing and oxygen to the area, preserve the periosteum too. 4. early mobilization- initiate movement and mobilization as soon as possible to enhance recovery, get patients to PT as soon as possible.
65
Broken bones are not always emergent except when
Vascular or neural compromise
66
C-arm
portable x-ray need AP or ML or lateral need both views
67
plates
functions determined by application not shape
68
Neutralization
plate neutralized forces and bending
69
Buttress (anti glide )
supports bone fragments from sliding ( like in the tibia, when part of the head fractures and then slides out of the joint area)
70
Bridging
providing stability and alignment w/o engaging fracture fragments. take plate and put screws in at each side, this then forms a bridge and pulls fragments together to enforce healing
71
Tension band
create tensions between fragments to promote healing
72
Compression
places compress fracture sites to promote healing
73
Bone screw
inclined plane or ramp around a cylinder - redirect force - internal fixator - bone to bone - plate to bone
74
Titanium
reduced mri, allergy, and biologic conerns
75
Surgical grade stainless steel
non magnetic
76
hardware is removed when
infection, patient discomfort, breakage, allergic reaction
77
Cortical
for dense compact bone
78
Cancellous
spongy bone
79
cannulated
hollow center, used for guide wires
80
solid
fully solid throughout
81
self drill
creat own hole in bone
82
self tap
cut threat when inserted
83
Surgical nails
Developed in 1939 - used in long bones - hip fractures are most common
84
Gerhard Kuntscher
Innovator of K wire and the nail. - treated POWs - initial use for tibia shafts
