Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
Subluxion - CORRECT ANSWER - the partial displacement of a bone from its joint
Sprain - CORRECT ANSWER - An injury in which the ligaments holding bones together
are stretched too far and tear.
Contusion - CORRECT ANSWER - bruise type of injury with possible avulsion fracture
Fracture - CORRECT ANSWER - broken bone
What are the 3 types of appositions? - CORRECT ANSWER - -anatomical apposition
-lack of apposition
-bayonet apposition
Apposition - CORRECT ANSWER - Describes how the fragmented ends of the bone
make contact with each other
Anatomic apposition - CORRECT ANSWER - Anatomic alignment of ends of fractured
bone fragments, wherein the ends of the fragments make end-to-end contact
Lack of apposition - CORRECT ANSWER - the ends of fragments are aligned but pulled
apart and are not making contact with each other
Bayonet apposition - CORRECT ANSWER - A fracture wherein the fragments overlap
and the shafts make contact, but not at the fracture ends
Angulation - CORRECT ANSWER - Describes loss of alignment of the fracture
, What are the 3 types of angulation? - CORRECT ANSWER - 1. apex angulation
2. varus deformity
3. valgus deformity
Apex angulation - CORRECT ANSWER - Describes the direction or angle of the apex of
the fracture, such as medial or lateral apex, wherein the point or apex of the fracture points
medially or laterally
Varus deformity - CORRECT ANSWER - distal fracture fragment points toward the body
(or medial angulation)
Valgus deformity - CORRECT ANSWER - the distal fragment ends are angled away from
the midline and the apex is pointed toward the midline
Simple (closed) fracture - CORRECT ANSWER - bone is broken but there is no open
wound in the skin
Compound (open) fracture - CORRECT ANSWER - bone is broken and a fragment of
bone protrudes through an open wound in the skin
Incomplete (partial) fracture - CORRECT ANSWER - A fracture that does not traverse
through the entire bone and the bone is not broken into two pieces, it is common in children
Torus fracture - CORRECT ANSWER - a buckle of the cortex in which there is localized
expansion or torus of the cortex
Greenstick fracture - CORRECT ANSWER - Fracture is on one side only, the cortex on
one side of the bone is broken and the other side is bent
