Fractures/Injuries
Fractures
| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| an injury of the neck of the 5th metacarpal that results from direct trauma to the hand with axial loading or compression | Boxer's Fracture |
| an intra-articular fracture of the distal radius that involves the styloid and articular surface of the distal radius | Bennett's Fracture/dislocation |
| a deformity of the thumb that results from an abduction injury in with the ulnar collateral ligament is torn from the base of the proximal phalanx | Gamekeeper's thumb |
| the tearing away of a body part as of a fragment of bone from the bone shaft | Avulsion |
| abnormality occurring at the distal interphalangeal joint that is visible where the fingertip is curled downward and the patient cannot straighten the finger out, usually as a result of injury that damages or tears the tendon | Mallet finger |
| a condition where a finger intermittently becomes locked in a bent position | trigger finger |
| a fracture occurring at the distal radius with dorsal displacement of the fracture fragment; most common type of wrist fracture often resulting from falling on an outstretched hand | Colles' Fracture |
| a reverse Colles' fracture in which the fracture fragment displaces toward the palmar side of the wrist rather than the dorsal side | Smith's Fracture |
| an intra-articular fracture of the distal radius that involves the styloid and articular surface of the distal radius | Barton's Fracture |
| an intra-articular fracture of the distal radius primarily involving the styloid of the radius caused by axial compression | Chauffeur's Fracture |
| a type of fracture with the cortex breaks on one side without separation or breaking of the opposite cortex | Greenstick-Type Fracture |
| a solitary break in the distal one-third of the radius with accompanying subluxation or dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint | Galleazzi Fracture |
| a fracture that occurs at the mid-shaft of the ulna, resulting usually from a direct blow to the forearm | Night-Stick Fracture |
| a fracture that occurs at the proximal third of the ulna with anterior dislocation of the radial head | Monteggia Fracture |
| any trauma to a joint and its associated ligaments resulting in pain, rapid swelling, limited function and localized warmth over the area | sprain |
| fractures occurring mostly in the lower extremity resulting from the bending of the bone almost to the point of breakage due to repetitive trauma; the fracture is generally a hairline crack | stress fracture |
| the displacement of a bone such that the bones on the opposite sides of a joint do not line up; the complete loss of articulation between two normally articulating bones | dislocations |
| the inflammation of a tendon | tendinitis |
| inflammation of the bursa sacs that protect the shoulder | bursitis |
| a fracture of the 5th metatarsal | Jones Fracture |
| a fracture or injury to the midfoot in which one or more of the metatarsal bones are displaced from the tarsus | Lisfranc Fractures |
| a fracture of the lower part of the fibula, with serious injury of the lower tibial articulation | Pott's Fracture |
| injuries caused by a fall or blow to the limb or from overuse; includes shin splints, Achilles' tendon injuries and stress fractures | Growth Plate Injuries |
| any mechanical injury (usually caused by a blow) resulting in hemorrhage beneath unbroken skin | contusion |
| the displacement of a bone such that the bones on the opposite sides of a joint do not line up; the complete loss of articulation between two normally articulating bones | Luxation |
| a partial or incomplete dislocation | subluxation |
| a lateral deviation of the great toe (also known as a bunion) | Hallux Valgus |
| a medial deviation of the great toe | Hallux Varus |
