Common Finger Fractures and Dislocations Tuft fracture (Figure 3) is the most common type of distal phalanx fracture. This fracture at the fingertip is often associated with a crush injury. Distal phalanx fractures are stable and can be treated with simple splinting of the DIP joint only.

Foot Fractures Frequently Misdiagnosed as Ankle Sprains Talar Dome Injuries. The dome of the talus articulates with the tibia and fibula, and has a key role in ankle motion and in supporting the axial load during weight bearing1–4(Figures 1 and 2). Fractures of the talar dome are generally the result of inversion injuries of the ankle.

fracture Etymology: L, frangere, to break. a traumatic injury to a bone in which the continuity of the bone tissue is broken. A fracture is classified by the bone involved, the part of that bone, and the nature of the break, such as a comminuted fracture of the head of the tibia.See also specific types of fractures.A breaking of bone or other hard tissue. fracture in which fragments of bone protrude through the skin or in which there is a break in the skin or soft tissue at the fracture site. Such a fracture exposes the wound to possible infection.

Fibula Fracture Fibula Fracture. A acute fracture of the fibula bone in the lower leg occurs as a result of a direct trauma or impact to the leg or ankle.Stress fractures can also occur from overuse or repetitive impacts.ymptoms of fibula stress fractures tend to include a gradual build up of pain on the outside of the lower leg which eases with rest and increases with activity. It may be tender over the point of the fracture and there may be aching or throbbing pain at night.

Autograft Bone Definition Autograft Bone Definition. Autograft bone is the bone of a patient for use in grafting procedures in their own body. Bone is taken from one part of the body and grafted onto another part of the body to replace damaged tissues. The advantage of an autograft is a high probability of successful bone fusion. However, complications with using a patient's own bone include infection, bleeding, fractures and tissue damage. The procedure may also result in additional chronic pain at the site on the body where the bone was harvested.

- Medical Definition of Basilar fracture. Basilar fracture: A break in bone at the base of the skull. About a half of basilar fractures are caused by bicycle or motor vehicle accidents, about a quarter by falls, and a tenth by recreational activities, particularly by diving accidents. The balance are due to other causes.

Metatarsal fracture (acute) - aftercare Metatarsal fracture (acute) - aftercare. The metatarsal bones are the long bones in your foot that connect your ankle to your toes. They also help you balance when you stand and walk. A sudden blow or severe twist of your foot, or overuse, can cause a break, or acute (sudden) fracture, in one of the bones. There are five metatarsal bones in your foot. The 5th metatarsal is the outer bone that connects to your little toe. It is the most commonly fractured metatarsal bone. A break in the part of your 5th metatarsal bone closest to the ankle is called a Jones fracture. This area of the bone has low blood flow. This makes healing difficult. An avulsion fracture occurs when a tendon pulls a piece of bone away from the rest of the bone.

Dancer's Fracture Dancers Fracture (5th Metatarsal Avulsion Fracture) Handout. A twisting injury to the ankle and foot may cause an avulsion (pulling off) fracture of the base of the 5th metatarsal – the bone that the little toe attaches to (Figure 1). A small fragment of bone at the base of the 5th metatarsal is pulled off by a strong ligament that is attached to this part of the bone.

- A metatarsal stress fracture is a small hairline crack that can appear in the metatarsal bone (the long bones on the top of the foot) and is another common cause of pain on top of foot. It occurs due to repetitive strain and trauma to the metatarsals, which over-time leads to the development of a stress fracture.his triggers the inflammatory response which causes the pain and discomfort. Although this is most common in the posterior tibial tendon (more about that condition here) it can potentially occur in any of the foot tendons.

- A fracture is a partial or complete break in a bone. In the ankle, fractures involve the far or distal ends of the tibia, the X-ray image of an ankle fracture​ fibula, or both bones. The tibia is the shinbone and is located on the inner, or medial, side of the leg. The fibula is located on the outer, or lateral, side of the leg.

- A fracture is a break in a bone. Most involve a single, significant force applied to normal bone. In a closed fracture, the overlying skin is intact. In an open fracture, the overlying skin is disrupted and the broken bone is in communication with the environment. Pathologic fractures occur when mild or minimal force fractures an area of bone weakened by a disorder (eg, osteoporosis, cancer, infection, bone cyst). When the disorder is osteoporosis, they are often called insufficiency or fragility fractures.

Toe and Metatarsal Fractures (Broken Toes) A fracture is a break in the bone. Fractures can be divided into two categories: traumatic fractures and stress fractures. Traumatic fractures (also called acute fractures) are caused by a direct blow or impact, such as seriously stubbing your toe. Traumatic fractures can be displaced or nondisplaced.

Stress fracture This article is about stress fractures in bones. For stress fractures in engineering, see Fracture and Fatigue (material). Stress fracture, also known as a hairline fracture, or fissure fracture, is a fatigue-induced fracture of the bone caused by repeated stress over time. Instead of resulting from a single severe impact, stress fractures are the result of accumulated trauma from repeated submaximal loading, such as running or jumping.

- The Maisonneuve fracture (named after a French surgeon) is an injury to the ankle involving both a fracture and a sprain.his can also cause a fracture in the tibia, much lower than the fibula fracture is usually sustained, due to the way in which the harsh force of the blow and subsequent leg twisting runs up the leg at the moment of impact.
