A femoral fracture is a bone fracture that involves the femur. They are typically sustained in high-impact trauma, such as car crashes , due to the large amount of force needed to break the bone. Fractures of the diaphysis , or middle of the femur, are managed differently from those at the head, neck, and trochanter ; those are conventionally ...
A distal radius fracture, also known as wrist fracture, is a break of the part of the radius bone which is close to the wrist. [1] Symptoms include pain, bruising, and rapid-onset swelling. [1] The ulna bone may also be broken. [1] In younger people, these fractures typically occur during sports or a motor vehicle collision. [2]
Colles fracture of the left hand, with posterior displacement clearly visible. Diagnosis can be made upon interpretation of anteroposterior and lateral views alone. [7] The classic Colles fracture has the following characteristics: [8] Transverse fracture of the radius; 2.5 cm (0.98 inches) proximal to the radio-carpal joint
A Barton's fracture is a type of wrist injury where there is a broken bone associated with a dislocated bone in the wrist, typically occurring after falling on top of a bent wrist. [1] It is an intra-articular fracture of the distal radius with dislocation of the radiocarpal joint .
Fracture with a dorsal tilt. Dorsal is left, and volar is right in the image. There are a number of ways to classify distal radius fractures.Classifications systems are devised to describe patterns of injury which will behave in predictable ways, to distinguish between conditions which have different outcomes or which need different treatments.
X-ray showing the proximal portion of a fractured tibia with an intramedullary nail The surgical treatment of mandibular angle fracture; fixation of the bone fragments by the plates, the principles of osteosynthesis are stability (immobility of the fragments that creates the conditions for bones coalescence) and functionality Proximal femur ...
Fracture of the cartilage of the physis (growth plate) II – A = Above. The fracture lies above the physis, or Away from the joint. III – L = Lower. The fracture is below the physis in the epiphysis. IV – TE = Through Everything. The fracture is through the metaphysis, physis, and epiphysis. V – R = Rammed (crushed). The physis has been ...
A hip fracture is a break that occurs in the upper part of the femur (thigh bone), at the femoral neck or (rarely) the femoral head. [2] Symptoms may include pain around the hip, particularly with movement, and shortening of the leg. [2] Usually the person cannot walk. [3] A hip fracture is usually a femoral neck fracture.
