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.
Rolando fracture: Silvio Rolando: intra articular comminuted fracture of base of first metacarpal: axial load along the metacarpal causing splitting of the proximal articular surface: Rolando's fracture at Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics online Runner's fracture: Running: stress fracture of distal fibula 3–8 cm above the lateral malleolus
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] An open fracture (or compound fracture) is a bone fracture where the broken ...
The Müller AO Classification of fractures is a system for classifying bone fractures initially published in 1987 [1] by the AO Foundation as a method of categorizing injuries according to therognosis of the patient's anatomical and functional outcome. "AO" is an initialism for the German "Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen", the ...
Bennett's fracture. The Bennett fracture is an oblique intraarticular metacarpal fracture dislocation, caused by an axial force directed against the partially flexed metacarpal. This type of compression along the metacarpal bone is often sustained when a person punches a hard object, such as the skull or tibia of an opponent, or a wall.
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 ...
Gartland & Werley classification. Gartland & Werley classification is a system of categorizing Colles' fractures. In the Gartland & Werley classification system there are three types of fractures. The classification system is based on metaphysical comminution, intra-articular extension and displacement, and was first published in 1951. [1][2]
The use of traction splints to treat complete long bone fractures of the femur is common in prehospital care. Evidence to support their usage, however, is poor. [1] A dynamic traction splint has also been developed for intra-articular fractures of the phalanges of the hand. [citation needed]
