What is a closed or simple fracture? - ANSWERskin over the fractured area remains
intact
What is a comminuted fracture? - ANSWERthe bone is splintered or crushed with three

What is a complete fracture? - ANSWERthe bone is seperated completely by other
bone.
What is a depressed fracture? - ANSWERbone fragments aer driven inward.
what is greenstick fracture? - ANSWERgreen stick is one side of the bone is broken and
the other is bent; most common in children
What is impacted? - ANSWERA part of the fractured bone is driven into another bone
What is an incomplete fracture - ANSWERthe bone is partially broken
What is a open or compound fracture? - ANSWERthe bone is exposed to air through a
break in the skin, and soft tissue injury and infection are common.
What is a pathological fracture? - ANSWERThe fracture results from weakening of the
bone structure by pathological processes such as neoplasia or osteomalacia; also
called spontaneous fracture.
What is a spiral fracture? - ANSWERthe break is partially encircles bone

withdrawal of synovial fluid for diagnostic purposes.
athrodesis - ANSWERsurgical fusion of a joint
arthroplasty - ANSWERrepair or refashioning of aone or both sides, parts, or specific
tissue within a joint
bipolar hip replacement ( hemiarthroplasty) - ANSWERfixation device depends on
fracture location and the potential for avascular necrosis of the femoral head and neck
Circulation check 7 Ps - ANSWER1. Pulselessness
2. paresthesia
3. paralyasis or paresis
4. polar tempature
5. pallor
6. puffiness
7.pain
blanch testing - ANSWERmeaning to whiten or pale. capillary refill test
Callus - ANSWERbony deposits formed between and around the broken ends of
fractured bone during healing
Colles Fracture - ANSWERfracture of distal portion of the radius within 1 inch of wrist
joint; commonly occurs when someone tries to break a fall
