Study Notes
Bone Fracture Healing Stages
- Hematoma formation is the first stage of bone fracture healing
- Consolidation phase involves cartilage being replaced by bone
- Comminuted fracture is a fracture where the bone is broken into multiple pieces
- Non-union of a tibial fracture after 6 months may require bone grafting
- Severe pain and deformity in a 40-year-old man with a bone fracture likely requires immediate surgical intervention
- Crepitus is a 100% physical sign of a bone fracture
- Local swelling, pain, and deformity often indicate a bone fracture
- A 55-year-old woman falling and injuring her wrist likely experienced a Colles' fracture
- X-ray is the most common imaging modality to diagnose a bone fracture
- MRI is more effective for detecting stress fractures
- Conservative bone fracture treatment aims for natural healing
- A 30-year-old man with a non-displaced humerus fracture might use a functional brace
- An open tibial fracture may necessitate immediate wound debridement and irrigation
- Inadequate immobilization is a common cause of delayed fracture union
- Anterior shoulder dislocation is a common injury
- Axillary nerve injury is a potential complication in anterior shoulder dislocations.
- A displaced radial head fracture in a patient may need a radial head arthroplasty
- Avascular necrosis is a potential complication of scaphoid fracture
- Thumb spica splint and repeat X-ray is a suitable approach for wrist pain after a fall on an outstretched hand
- Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries are common in baseball pitchers.
- Pubic rami fracture is a common pelvic fracture in the elderly
- Hemorrhage is a concern in pelvic fractures
Other Bone Related Injuries
- Garden III femoral neck fracture is a complete fracture with partial displacement

Miscellaneous
- Hip bursitis is often related to pain in a dancer
- Medial meniscus injury is a frequent outcome from a twisting injury
- Conservative management is a typical approach for non-displaced tibial fracture
