NR 507 Advanced Pathophysiology
week 7 Questions & Answers 100%
Correct [Grade A] - Chamberlain
fracture - correct answer A break in the continuity of a bone-occurs when force is
applied that exceeds the tensile or compressive strength of the bone
complete fracture - correct answer Integrity of the bone broken into two pieces
incomplete fracture - correct answer Bone damaged but in one piece
open fracture - correct answer Aka compound fracture-concurrent break in the skin in
area of the fracture
Closed fracture - correct answer AKA simple fracture-no break in surrounding skin
linear fracture - correct answer the fracture is parallel to the long axis of the bone
oblique fracture - correct answer Slanted fracture of the shaft of the bone
spiral fracture - correct answer ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces
are applied to a bone
transverse fracture - correct answer occurs straight across the bone
comminuted fracture - correct answer bone breaks into many fragments
types of incomplete fractures - correct answer greenstick, torus, bowing
greenstick fracture - correct answer Outer surface of bone disrupted but inner surface
remains intact
Typical sites of greenstick fractures - correct answer Metaphysis or diaphysis of the
tibia, radius, and ulna
Torus fracture - correct answer cortex buckles but does not break-relatively stable
fracture
bowing fracture - correct answer Longitudinal force applied to a bone-common in
children usually involving the paired radius-ulna or fibula-tibia

week 7 Questions & Answers 100%
Correct [Grade A] - Chamberlain
Complete diaphyseal fracture - correct answer Occurs in one bone of the pair which
dispersed the stress sufficiently to prevent a complete fracture of the second bone
which bows
fragility fracture - correct answer fracture that results from a low level trauma (one
that would not normally cause a fracture)-often seen as sequels of osteoporosis
impacted fracture - correct answer fracture in which one bone fragment is pushed into
another
pathologic fracture - correct answer fracture caused by diseased or weakened bone
avulsion fracture - correct answer Fragment of bone connected to a ligament breaks
off from the main bone
compression fracture - correct answer Fracture is wedged or squeezed together on
one side of bone
displaced fracture - correct answer Fracture with one, both, or all fragments out of
normal alignment
extracapsular fracture - correct answer Fragment is close to the joint but remains
outside the joint capsule
Intracapsular fracture - correct answer Fragment extends into it is within the joint
capsule
stress fracture - correct answer a small crack in the bone that often develops from
chronic, excessive impact
Transchondral fracture - correct answer Fragmentation and separation of the articular
cartilage covering the end of a bone
Fatigue fracture - correct answer Abnormal stress or torque applied to bones that
have the normal ability to deform and recover (joggers, dancers)
insufficiency fracture - correct answer Occur in bones lacking normal ability to deform
and recover (normal weight bearing or activity fractures the bone)- includes fragility
fractures of osteoporosis and osteomalacia
