Study Notes
Fracture Types and Characteristics
- Dinner-fork Deformity: Commonly associated with Colles' fracture, which typically occurs in the distal radius.
- Both Ulna and Radius Fractures: Known as a Galeazzi fracture; if only one is fractured, assess for dislocations at the elbow or wrist joint.
- Plantar Flexion and Inversion Fractures: Often described as an ankle sprain, leading to possible fracture on the lateral aspect of the ankle, typically a lateral malleolus fracture.
- Epiphyseal Plate Fractures: Salter-Harris fractures are prevalent in children, affecting growth plates in various configurations.
- Both Malleoli Fractures: Known as a bimalleolar fracture; may display one side as transverse and the other as oblique or spiral.
- Ligament Damage and Dislocation Fractures: Fractures such as a sprained ankle might accompany ligamentous injuries and temporary dislocations.
- Transverse Fracture at Base of 5th Metatarsal: Characterized as a Jones fracture, significant due to association with ankle injuries.
- Clenched Fist Injury: Typically results in a boxer's fracture, impacting the fifth metacarpal, potentially requiring immobilization like casting.
- Orbital Wall Fracture: Known as an orbital blowout fracture, occurs with herniation of ocular structures, frequently in the orbital floor or within the maxillary sinus.
- Base of First Metacarpal Fractures: Occurs in Bennett's fracture, which may create dislocation or subluxation of the carpometacarpal joint, complicating treatment.
- Fissured Fracture: A fracture that runs parallel to the bone's long axis, often less severe but needing careful evaluation.
