Study Notes
Clinical Signs of Fractures
- Clinical signs of a fracture include pain, swelling, deformity, and inability to move the affected area.
Types of Fractures
- Pathological fracture: associated with reduced bone resistance due to tumors.
- Insufficiency fracture: associated with osteoporosis and occurs without trauma.
- Indirect fracture: the force occurs far from where it was applied.
Traumatic Fractures
- Comminuted fracture: the most common type of traumatic fracture.
- High-energy fracture: usually related to high-energy trauma such as road traffic accidents.
Fracture Patterns
- Transverse fracture: the fracture line appears transversal.
- Complete fracture: the fracture line involves a total break in the bone.
Fracture Classification
- Stable fracture: involves minimal deformation and a stable pattern.
- Closed fracture: no direct communication between the bone and outer space.
- Open fracture: direct communication between the bone and outer space.
Pediatric Fractures
- Physeal fracture: involves growth plates involvement and potentially non-reversible outcomes.
- Salter-Harris fracture: involves growth plates involvement and potentially on-growing, reversible outcomes.
Diagnosis and Treatment
- Standard imaging for diagnosing physeal fractures: radiography (x-ray).
- Less invasive treatment method for stable fractures: closed reduction.
