Broken bone: Types of fractures, symptoms and prevention There are many types of fractures, but the main categories are complete, incomplete, compound and simple. Complete and incomplete fractures refer to the way the bone breaks. In a complete fracture, the bone snaps into two or more parts; in an incomplete fracture, the bone cracks but does not break all the way through.

Anatomy The tibia, or shinbone, is the most common fractured long bone in your body. The long bones include the femur, humerus, tibia, and fibula. A tibial shaft fracture occurs along the length of the bone, below the knee and above the ankle. Because it typically takes a major force to break a long bone, other injuries often occur with these types of fractures.

Summit Medical Group Web Site What is a knee fracture? A knee fracture is a break or crack in 1 or more of the bones in the knee joint. It may be just a bend or small crack in the bone, or the bone may break into pieces or shatter. Some fractures may stick out through the skin. The bones in the knee include the upper leg bone (also called the thighbone or femur), the 2 lower leg bones (the tibia and the fibula), and the kneecap (patella). What is the cause? Knee fractures can happen in many ways, like falls, car accidents, sports activities, or direct hits to the knee. What are the symptoms? Symptoms may include: Pain, swelling, bruising, or tenderness that happens right after the injury; Pain when the injured area is touched or that keeps you from putting weight on the leg; Trouble bending the knee; Pain made worse by movement

Schatzker Classification of Tibial Plateau Fractures: Use of CT and MR Imaging Improves Assessment A Schatzker type IV fracture is a medial tibial plateau fracture with a split or depressed component (Fig 7). The mechanism of injury involves varus force with axial loading at the knee (3,4). Posteromedial coronal split fractures occur as a result of varus forces combined with axial loading in a hyperflexed knee (1).

Knee Fractures Knee Fracture Types. Falls of any kind, auto accidents, sports injuries and direct blows to the knee may cause these fractures. Because the knee is such an important weight-bearing joint, it is important the broken bones in this area heal as anatomically as possible. For this reason surgery is often recommended for all but the most simple (non-displaced with no separations between bone fragments) fracture patterns. Symptoms are most likely swelling, mild to severe pain around the knee and decrease range-of-motion.

Knee Injury The following are some of the more common knee injuries: Meniscal Injuries. Menisci can be torn when the knee is bent and then twisted, such as turning to hit a tennis ball. If the outside of the knee is hit, during contact sports, for example, the ligaments can be torn as well. Meniscal injuries that are not repaired increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis years later.

- Patellar (Kneecap) Fractures. Because your kneecap (patella) acts like a shield for your knee joint, it can easily be broken. Falling directly onto your knee, for example, is a common cause of patellar fractures. These fractures are serious injuries and often require surgery to heal. Over the long term, they may cause arthritis in the knee.

Tibia Fracture One of the most painful injuries in all of sports is a broken bone. A fracture of the tibia (shin bone) is one of the worst examples. Typically, tibia fractures occur with high velocity injuries, such as motor vehicle accidents, and are fairly uncommon in sports. They can occur in contact and collision sports, such as football, rugby and soccer.

BROKEN KNEE The knee joint is where the leg bone (tibia) joins with the thigh bone (femur). The knee has two compartments, an inside (medial) and a outside side (lateral) compartment (also known as the medial and lateral tibia condyle). The tibial plateau fracture can occur on the lateral side (most common), the medial side, or both. The break occurs when a strong force bends the knee inward or outward causing a force that breaks the tibia bone. This excessive force can either 1) split, 2) squish (compress), or 3) both split and squish the tibia bone.

Tibia (lower leg) Fractures The tibia, or shinbone, is the most common fractured long bone in your body. The long bones include the femur, humerus, tibia, and fibula. A tibial shaft fracture occurs along the length of the bone, below the knee and above the ankle.pen fracture: When broken bones break through the skin, they are called open or compound fractures. For example, when a pedestrian is struck by the bumper of a moving car, the broken tibia may protrude through a tear in the skin and other soft tissues.
