Test I Sacral Fractures, Coccygeal Fractures, and Pelvic Fractures Flashcards
(20 cards)
Sacral fractures are MC at this spot
3rd and 4th segments
Sacral Fractures usually occur from
driect trauma
This is when you break the sacrum up into 3 zones usued in naming the fracture location
Denis Classification
Coccygeal fractures are usually in this orientation
Horizontal
Coccygeal fractures are MC seen on this film
Lateral
Pelvic fractures are unstable if
fracture of both rings
This is a illiac wing fracture
Duverney Fracture
Duverney Fractures are splitting of the illiac wings
vertically
This is the MC fracture of the pelvis

Malgaigne Fracture
Avulsion fractures of the pelvis are MC in the

Bucket-Handle Fracture
Bucket Handle Fractures occur in the
Superior and Inferior Pubic Rami
This is a bilateral Superior and inferior Pubic Rami fracture
Straddle Fracture
This is diastasis of the pubic symphysis
Sprung Pelvis
Sprung Pelvis can also be called
“open book” fracture
This is muiltple fractures of the pelvis
Comlex Pelvis fractures
