Study Notes
Trauma/Fracture
- Fracture is a break in a bone caused by force
- Treatment choices depend on fracture severity and type
- Closed/Nondisplaced fractures often treated with splinting or casting
- Closed reduction requires local or general anesthetic and application of a splint or cast.
- Open reduction is needed for fractures piercing the skin or when orthopedic hardware is required
- Open/Compound fractures always require internal fixation devices
- Spiral fractures result from twisting force, resembling a spiral staircase
- Spiral fractures in children may be a sign of abuse
- Oblique fractures have a slanted break
- Transverse fractures are horizontal breaks relative to the long axis of the bone
Types of Fractures
- Transverse: The fracture line is perpendicular to the long axis of the bone.
- Oblique: The fracture line is diagonal to the long axis of the bone.
- Spiral: The fracture line spirals around the long axis of the bone.
- Comminuted: The bone is broken into many fragments.
- Greenstick: A partial fracture in which one side of the bone breaks while the other side bends. Common in children.
- Torus: A partial fracture, often in the distal forearm of young children, where one side of the bone buckles without complete break.
- Avulsion: A fragment of bone is separated from the main bone where a tendon or ligament attaches.
- Compression: A vertebral body is crushed due to trauma, osteoporosis, or a tumor.
- Butterfly: A comminuted fracture with one or more wedge-shaped fragments.
- Stellate: A fracture with multiple fracture lines radiating from a central point (star-like).
- Longitudinal: A fracture runs along the length of the bone.
- Impacted: One bone fragment is driven into another.
- Double: A fracture in two separate areas of the bone.
Specific Fractures
- Jones fracture: Fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone, more difficult to heal compared to avulsion.
- Boxer's fracture: Fracture of the metacarpal bone, usually resulting from a fist-based impact.
- Colle's fracture: Fracture of the distal radius, commonly from falling backwards on an outstretched hand.
- Monteggia fracture: Fracture of the proximal ulna, often accompanied by dislocation of the radial head in the elbow.
- Hip fractures: Occur at the proximal end of the femur, often associated with falls in elderly patients with osteoporosis (e.g., femoral neck, intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric).
