Bimalleolar fracture (right) A bimalleolar fracture most commonly means that the lateral malleolus and the medial malleolus are broken and the ankle is not stable. Usually surgery is indicated to help stabilize the lower extremity.

Colles Fracture Presentation and Treatment Colles fracture is a distal radius fracture that occur following a fall on outsteretched hand. Colles fractures is the most common type of distal radial fracture and is seen more commonly in elderly women because the bone is weakened by osteoporosis. Colles fracture is, however, found in all adult age groups and when it occurs in younger age groups , it usually is due to high impact trauma or fall.

- 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.

- The term of Colles fracture is classically used to describe a fracture at the distal end of the radius, at its cortico-cancellous junction.

- This is an important difference from a closed fracture because with an open fracture there is a risk of a deep bone infection. Some fracture types are: 1  A Greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent. 2  This type occurs most often in children. 3  A transverse fracture is when the broken piece of bone is at a right angle to the bone's axis.

Ankle Fracture in Sports Medicine Treatment & Management Medical Issues/Complications. Isolated lateral malleolus fractures are the most common fracture involving the ankle. Most inversion injuries result in an isolated sprain of the anterior talofibular ligament. However, a small avulsion fracture can occasionally be seen near the distal portion of the lateral malleolus. Barely visible osseous chip fractures do not alter the routine active management of grade 1 and 2 ankle sprains.

How do you treat a broken ankle? How long does it take to heal? In most cases of bimalleolar fracture, the lateral malleolus and the medial malleolus are broken and the ankle is not stable. A bimalleolar equivalent fracture means that in addition to one of the malleoli being fractured, the ligaments on the inside (medial) side of the ankle are injured.

Treatment: Bimalleolar Fractures or Bimalleolar Equivalent Fractures If the fracture is out of place or your ankle is unstable, your fracture may be treated with surgery. During this type of procedure, the bone fragments are first repositioned (reduced) into their normal alignment. They are held together with special screws and metal plates attached to the outer surface of the bone. fractured ankle can range from a simple break in one bone, which may not stop you from walking, to several fractures, which forces your ankle out of place and may require that you not put weight on it for a few months.

- A Greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent. This type occurs most often in children. A transverse fracture is when the broken piece of bone is at a right angle to the bone's axis. An oblique fracture is when the break has a curved or sloped pattern.

Pathologic fracture Fragility fracture is a type of pathologic fracture that occurs as result of normal activities, such as a fall from standing height or less. There are three fracture sites said to be typical of fragility fractures: vertebral fractures, fractures of the neck of the femur, and Colles fracture of the wrist.

Colles' Fracture (Distal Radius Fracture or Broken Wrist) In this article. A Colles' fracture -- or distal radius fracture -- is often called a ''broken wrist.'' Technically, it's a break in the larger of the two bones in your forearm. The bone breaks on the lower end, close to where it connects to the bones of the hand on the thumb side of the wrist.

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. See fibula stress fracture for more detailed information.

Summit Medical Group Web Site Foot Fracture: Fifth Metatarsal Fracture. A fifth metatarsal fracture, also called a Jones fracture, is type of foot fracture. It is a break or crack in the long foot bone that attaches to the little toe. The break may be just a bend or small crack in the bone, or the bone may break into pieces or shatter.

What is a fracture? Persistent bone or bone marrow infection-if there is a break in the skin, as may happen with a compound fracture, bacteria can get in and infect the bone or bone marrow, which can become a persistent infection (osteomyelitis).Patients may need to be hospitalized and treated with antibiotics. Oblique fracture-A fracture that is diagonal to a bone's long axis. 2  Pathological fracture-when an underlying disease or condition has already weakened the bone, resulting in a fracture (bone fracture caused by an underlying disease/condition that weakened the bone).

- Some fracture types are: 1  A Greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent. 2  A transverse fracture is when the broken piece of bone is at a right angle to the bone's axis. 3  An oblique fracture is when the break has a curved or sloped pattern.  A comminuted fracture is when the bone breaks into several pieces.

Treatment: Bimalleolar Fractures or Bimalleolar Equivalent Fractures Simply put, the more bones that are broken, the more unstable the ankle becomes. There may be ligaments damaged as well. The ligaments of the ankle hold the ankle bones and joint in position. Broken ankles affect people of all ages.

- Distal Phalangeal Fractures The distal phalanx is the most commonly fractured bone of the finger.Distal phalangeal fractures are classified into three types: tuft fractures,shaft fractures, and intraarticular fractures. Tuft Fractures Atuft fracture involves the most distal portion of the bone.

What Is a Diaphyseal Fracture? A diaphyseal fracture is a bone break that occurs along the shaft of a long bone like the femur in the thigh or the ulna in the forearm. Diaphysis is the anatomical name for the shaft of a long bone, which is differentiated from the epiphyses, the ends of the bone.

Bibasilar Atelectasis Bibasilar Atelectasis. Bibasilar atelectasis is a partial or complete collapsing of the lungs or lobe of lungs when alveoli, the tiny air pockets become deflated. This condition causes problems in breathing and may occur after a surgery.

Sternal fracture A sternal fracture is a fracture of the sternum (the breastbone), located in the center of the chest. The injury, which occurs in 5–8% of people who experience significant blunt chest trauma, may occur in vehicle accidents, when the still-moving chest strikes a steering wheel or dashboard or is injured by a seatbelt.

Bibasilar Atelectasis Bibasilar atelectasis is a partial or complete collapsing of the lungs or lobe of lungs when alveoli, the tiny air pockets become deflated. This condition causes problems in breathing and may occur after a surgery.n essence, if the atelectasis condition is acute, treatment is done by removal of the cause. The most common procedures are suctioning, coughing, and bronchoscopy. Chronic atelectasis by and large, requires use of surgical procedure to remove the part of the lube of lung, which is affected.
