Fractures

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
generally along the long axis of the bone. Bending force along with compression force. (Incomplete fracture)   green stick fracture  
🗑
simple break, clean across, perpendicular force exertion to the long axis of the bone. (Complete fractures)   transverse fracture  
🗑
break at an angle across bone, runs diagonally across the diaphysis, resulting from angulation and compression force. (Complete fractures)   oblique fracture  
🗑
high level forces generate two or more fragments, can shorten length of the bone because of crushing effect (Complete fracture) Butterfly and segmintal are types of this facture   comminuted fracture  
🗑
More common in children. Fracture with exaggerated curvature along length of the bone. (Incomplete fracture)   Bow Fracture  
🗑
fracture resulting from compression forces. Bone thus buckles.(Incomplete Fracture)   Torus or buckle fracture  
🗑
a ‘caving in’ of the bone. Usually in the skull. (Incomplete Fracture)   Depressed Fracture  
🗑
circles the shaft, from rotational forces. (Complete Fracture)   Spiral Fracture  
🗑
growth plate fracture to cartilage and surrounding bone. (Complete Fracture)   Epiphyseal Fracture  
🗑
trauma that occurs prior to death   Antemortem Trauma  
🗑
trauma that occurs during or close to death   Perimortem Trauma  
🗑
really called postmortem alteration, as it no longer disrupts living tissue   Postmortem Trauma  
🗑
a defect that is present at birth. Arises during gestation or due to heredity.   Congenital Variation  
🗑
an opening or split in the roof of the mouth that occurs when the tissue doesn't fuse together during development in the womb (Congential Variation)   Cleft lip and Cleft palate  
🗑
a group of disorders that affect movement and muscle tone or posture (Congential Variation   Cerebral Palsy  
🗑
a birth defect that occurs when the spine and spinal cord don't form properly (Congential Variation   Spina Bifida  
🗑
Curvature of the spine, often due to unknown causes (Congential Variation)   Scoliosis  
🗑
Degenerative joint disease - Osteoarthritis (OA), Generally associated with use and afflicts spine & joints, Most common in knees, hands, hips, and spine   Degenerative Variation  
🗑
disease of infancy and childhood characterized by softening of the bones, caused by a lack of vitamin D. (Disease Process Variation)   Rickets  
🗑
infection of bone tissue, results in destruction of cancellous bone (Disease Process Variation)   Osteomyelitis  
🗑
common bone cancer, primarily affecting the long bones, particularly those in the knee, hip, or shoulder regions (Disease Process Variation)   Osteosarcoma  
🗑
disease characterized by the thinning of bones due often to poor nutrition (Disease Process Variation)   Osteoporosis  
🗑
a rare condition characterized by overgrowth of the bones, skin, and other tissues (Disease Process Variation)   Proteus Syndrome  
🗑
a bacterial infection usually spread by sexual contact (Disease Process Variation)   Syphilis  
🗑
Porotic hypertosis that is visible within the orbits (poor nutrition)   Cribra orbitalia  
🗑
Animals break apart body/skeleton and chew on bones leaving teeth marks and broken bones (Post Mortem Trauma)   Scavenging  
🗑
Most common with prehistoric water burials (Post Mortem Trauma)   Crushing  
🗑
Generally difficult to analyze due to limited number of any morphological features due to lack of bone presence, Cremation is done for funerary practices or performed to hide a criminal act,In most fire cases, remains of bone can usually be located.   Cremains – Cremated Remains  
🗑
Normal anatomical variation Skeletal anomalies Pathological conditions Skeletal changes related to repetitive activity   Individual Skeletal Variation  
🗑
so that in vivo processes are not confused with trauma or taphonomic alterations.   Why is recognizing morphological variation important  
🗑
The range of morphological expression in individual skeletons -Genetic Coding   Normal Variation  
🗑
Shape of the sinuses, Cranial suture patterns Trabecular bone pattern External bone contours   The parts of the skeleton that shows significant differences between people and are used for personal identification.  
🗑
Characteristics or traits that are considered to be deviations from the norm, May not be unique or rare -Products of mutations, maternal condition or nutritional disorders   Anomalies  
🗑
Caused by disease processes -Infection, injury, or a disorder. Lesions: Proliferative, Lytic, and Deformative   Pathological Condition  
🗑
Mostly Pathologic changes in the overall bone contour or shape. -Can be from intentional cultural practices (head and foot binding) -Maybe most common cause is lack of vitamin D, causing one form of osteomalacia   Deformative Lesions  
🗑
Skeletal muscles have multiple attachment sites known as the origin (point of attachment to a stationary bone), insertion(point of attachment to a moving bone).   Entheses.  
🗑
-Some immediate elements that humans do not have are tails, claws, horns/antlers, bcula, or metpodials -Whole or partial skulls are usually easy to differentiate -Post-cranial material is more difficult.   Non-human Comparison  
🗑
Coracoid process, elbow, ulna/radius to wrist (carpals) head of femur, knee area fibula/tibia to ankle (tarsals)   Epiphyseal union locations  
🗑
Ostemetric board   Measurmentment tool for long bones  
🗑
Evidence of the bone healing   antemortem  
🗑
-Brittle Bone disease - general name for a group of conditions which all result in pathological osteoporosis and abnormal fragility of the skeleton   Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)  
🗑
Causing extremely short limbs (Developmental Variation)   Thanatophoric dysplasia  
🗑
-causing short arms, and legs, -short, broad hands and feet. (Developmental Variation)   Hypochondroplasia  
🗑
-causing bowed long bones in legs and arms, -often fatal for newborns. (Developmental Variation)   Campomelic dysplasia  
🗑
Polydactyl bones- extra finger or toes Cranial suture bone (extrasutural bones - Inca bone Sesamoid bones - bones that are located within tendons that pass over joints.   Common Accessory Bone  
🗑
are excess deposition of bone   Proliferative Lesions (Osteoproliferative)  
🗑
loss of bone   Lytic Lesions (Osteolytic)  
🗑
change in the overall bone shape   Deformative lesions  
🗑
