|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| avulsion (Abriss) | complete severing of a body part (typically toe or fringer)
🗑
|
||||
| closed (simple) | bone does not break through skin
🗑
|
||||
| colles | fracture of the distal end of the lateral forearm bone (radius)
🗑
|
||||
| comminuted | bone is splintered into several small pieces between the main parts
🗑
|
||||
| complete | bone is broken into two or more pieces
🗑
|
||||
| compression | bone is squashed (may occur in vertebra during a fall)
🗑
|
||||
| depressed | broken part of the bone forms a concavity (as in skull fracture)
🗑
|
||||
| displaced | fracture bone parts are out of anatomic alignment
🗑
|
||||
| epiphyseal | epiphysis is seperated from the diaphysis at the epiphyseal plate
🗑
|
||||
| greenstick | partial fracture; one side of bone breaks, the other side bends
🗑
|
||||
| hairline | fine crack in which sections of bone remain aligned (common in skull)
🗑
|
||||
| impacted | one fragment of bone is firmly driven into the other
🗑
|
||||
| incomplete | partial fracture that extends only partway across bone
🗑
|
||||
| linear | fracture is parallel to the long axis of the bone
🗑
|
||||
| oblique | diagonal fracture at an angle between linear and transverse
🗑
|
||||
| open (compound) | broken ends of the bone protrude through the skin
🗑
|
||||
| pathologic | weakening of a bone caused by disease processes (e.g. cancer)
🗑
|
||||
| pott | fracture at the distal end of the tibia, fibula or both
🗑
|
||||
| spiral | fracture spirals around axis of long bone; results from twisting stress
🗑
|
||||
| stress | thin fracture due to repeated, stressful impact such as running. (may be difficult to see on x-rays)
🗑
|
||||
| transverse | fracture at right angle to the long axis of the bone
🗑
