2. Tibia shaft fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibia_shaft_fracture

   Surgical treatment is typically indicated for high-energy trauma fractures. [ 1 ] Intramedullary nailing is a common technique, but external fixation may have equivalent outcomes and be preferred under certain patient conditions that may preclude intramedullary nailing, such as the presence of a total knee arthroplasty.

3. Bennett's fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennett's_fracture

   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. It can ...

4. Chauffeur's fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauffeur's_fracture

   Chauffeur's fracture, also known as Hutchinson fracture, is a type of intraarticular oblique fracture of the radial styloid process in the forearm. [1] The injury is typically caused by compression of the scaphoid bone of the hand against the styloid process of the distal radius. It can be caused by falling onto an outstretched hand.

5. Supracondylar humerus fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supracondylar_humerus_fracture

   The fracture is usually transverse or oblique and above the medial and lateral condyles and epicondyles. This fracture pattern is relatively rare in adults, but is the most common type of elbow fracture in children. [1] In children, many of these fractures are non-displaced and can be treated with casting.

6. Open fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_fracture

   Early fracture immobilisation and fixation helps to prevent further soft tissue injury and promotes wound and bone healing. This is especially important in the treatment of intraarticular fractures where early fixation allows early joint motion to prevent joint stiffness. Fracture management depends on the person's overall well-being, fracture ...

7. Percutaneous pinning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percutaneous_pinning

   Some fractures, however, cannot be held in a satisfactory position by this method, and require some additional form of fixation. This is the usual situation with all displaced fractures of the first metacarpal and of the proximal phalanges of the hand, and of about two thirds of fractures of the distal end of the radius. Percutaneous pinning is ...

8. Distal radius fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_radius_fracture

   If the fracture is displaced, surgical management is the proper treatment. If the instability risk of the wrist is more than 70%, then surgical management is required. 43% of displaced fractures will be unstable within the first two weeks and 47% of the remaining unstable fractures will become unstable after two weeks.

9. Reduction (orthopedic surgery) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_(orthopedic_surgery)

   When a bone fractures, the fragments lose their alignment in the form of displacement or angulation. For the fractured bone to heal without any deformity the bony fragments must be re-aligned to their normal anatomical position.
