Specialty. Orthopedics. An intraarticular fracture is a bone fracture in which the break crosses into the surface of a joint. This always results in damage to the cartilage. [1] Compared to extraarticular fractures, intraarticular have a higher risk for developing long-term complications, such as posttraumatic osteoarthritis.
Pain, tenderness, bruising, swelling, displacement of the bones. [3] A broken toe is a type of bone fracture. [6] Symptoms include pain when the toe is touched near the break point, or compressed along its length (as if gently stubbing the toe). [3] There may be bruising, swelling, stiffness, or displacement of the broken bone ends from their ...
Metatarsophalangeal joint sprain. Anatomy human foot. Specialty. Podiatry. A metatarsophalangeal joint sprain is an injury to the connective tissue between the foot and a toe (at a metatarsophalangeal joint, one of the joints in the ball of the foot). When the big toe is involved, it is known as " turf toe ". [1][2]
A tibial plateau fracture is a break of the upper part of the tibia (shinbone) that involves the knee joint. [1] This could involve the medial, lateral, central, or bicondylar (medial and lateral). [3] Symptoms include pain, swelling, and a decreased ability to move the knee. [1] People are generally unable to walk. [2]
A sprain is a soft tissue injury of the ligaments within a joint, often caused by a sudden movement abruptly forcing the joint to exceed its functional range of motion. Ligaments are tough, inelastic fibers made of collagen that connect two or more bones to form a joint and are important for joint stability and proprioception, which is the body ...
Orthopedics. Diagnostic method. X-ray, MRI. A bone fracture (abbreviated FRX or Fx, Fx, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of any bone in the body. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several fragments, known as a comminuted fracture. [1]
General symptoms are stiffness, swelling, synovial effusion, pain, redness, tenderness, grinding, instability and intra-articular bleeding of the injured joint. [1] [11] As a result of these symptoms, post-traumatic arthritis often comes along with the loss of ability.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is an outcome of either extra-articular dysfunction or from intraarticular dysfunction. SI joint dysfunction is sometimes referred to as "sacroiliac joint instability" or "sacroiliac joint insufficiency" due to the support the once strong and taut ligaments can no longer sustain. [8][9][2][12] When the joint is ...
