avulsion fracture fragment of bone chipped away from the main
bone from being being pulled by a ligament or
tendon.
Bennett's Fracture Fracture at base of first metacarpal.
Most common fracture of the thumb.
Bi-malleolar fracture Break in lateral and medial malleolus.
AKA Potts Fracture
Boxers fracture fracture of the 5th metacarpal
Closed fracture broken bone with no open wound
Colle's Fracture Fractured distal radius by falling onto an
outstretched hand
,comminuted fracture fracture in which the bone is splintered or crushed
into two or more fragments
Complete fracture bone is broken all the way through
Compound fracture an injury in which a broken bone pierces the skin,
causing a risk of infection.
Compression fracture occurs when the bone is pressed together
(compressed) on itself
Contrecroup Fracture When the fracture occurs on the opposite side of
which was hit.
(This is a skull type fracture)
Depressed fracture broken bone portion is pressed inward
Displaced fracture When the broken ends of the bone don't line up
Greenstick fracture When the convex portion of the bone breaks but
the concave side only bends.
Hangman's fracture Fracture of both pedicles and pars interarticularis
of C2 (axis) from hyperextension of the neck.
Impacted fracture When one bone drives into another bone
Incomplete fracture line of fracture does not include the whole bone
intertrochanteric fracture Fracture at the proximal end of the femur
Linear fracture parallel to long axis of the bone
,Longitudinal fracture a fracture that runs parallel to the long axis of the
bone
Marchers fracture Fracture in distal 1/3 of the metatarsals.
Commonly in 2nd and 3rd.
Occurs in those who walk or stand for long periods
of time.
Monteggia fracture Fracture of ulna with anterior displacement
Oblique fracture When fracture runs approximately 45 degrees to
the long axis of the bone
Open fracture Fractured bone protrudes through skin
Pathological fracture Occurs in weakened bones due to pathologies
such as tumours, infection, or metabolic bone
disease.
Salter Harris Fracture An epiphyseal plate fracture; a common injury seen
in children
Simple fracture Fracture of bone only, no damage to
skin/surrounding soft tissue.
, Smiths fracture Fracture of the distal radius.
Results from fall on flexed wrists
Spiral fracture Encircles the shaft via torsional force.
Common in kids.
Supracondylar fracture Fracture above the distal humerus just above the
elbow joint
Transverse Fracture Bone breaks at right axis to the shaft
Trimalleolar fracture Fracture of lateral and medial malleolus, as well as
the distal posterior aspect of the tibia.
Undisplaced fracture Lack of angulation or separation of fractured bone
Advanced bone age Skeletal maturation is older than their age in years
Delayed bone age Skeletal maturation is younger than their age in
years
