Fuller: Chapter 31: Orthopedic Surgery List the different types of fracture patterns and give an example of each. •Transverse: The fracture line is perpendicular to the long axis of the bone. •Oblique: A type of transverse fracture that occurs at an angle.

Broken bone: Types of fractures, symptoms and prevention In a simple fracture, also called a closed fracture, the bone breaks but there is no open wound in the skin. Simple fractures include: 1  Greenstick fracture: an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent. 2  This type of fracture occurs most often in children. 3  Transverse fracture: a fracture at a right angle to the bone's axis. 4  Oblique fracture: a fracture in which the break is at an angle to the bone’s axis.

Types of Femoral Shaft Fractures Your thighbone (femur) is the longest and strongest bone in your body. Because the femur is so strong, it usually takes a lot of force to break it. Car crashes, for example, are the number one cause of femur fractures. The long, straight part of the femur is called the femoral shaft.

Types of Fractures Covers fractures of the femoral neck. 4 types. Type I incomplete fracture of the femoral neck. Type II complete fracture of the femoral neck, but is nondisplaced. Type III complete fracture of the femoral neck with partial displacement. Type IV complete fracture of the femoral neck with complete displacement.

Types of Femoral Shaft Fractures Your thighbone (femur) is the longest and strongest bone in your body. Because the femur is so strong, it usually takes a lot of force to break it. Car crashes, for example, are the number one cause of femur fractures. The long, straight part of the femur is called the femoral shaft. When there is a break anywhere along this length of bone, it is called a femoral shaft fracture. The femoral shaft runs from below the hip to where the bone begins to widen at the knee.

Femoral Fractures Femoral shaft fractures. 1  Fractures vary in degree and complexity, depending on the degree of force involved. They may be: 2  Transverse (horizontally across the shaft). 3  Oblique. 4  Spiral, due to a twisting force. 5  Comminuted (when there are three or more resulting bone pieces). 6  Open or closed.

Intramedullary Nailing of Femoral Shaft Fractures ANALYSIS OF RESULTS. Intramedullary nailing is the treatment of choice for most femoral shaft fractures and carries a low rate of nonunion and rotational malunion. Infection rates are low, with infection being most common in type IIIB open fractures.

Hip Fracture A femoral fracture is a fracture of the thigh bone. The femur is the largest and strongest bone in the body, so it requires a large or high impact force to break this bone. Most femur fractures are the result of a high energy trauma, such as a motor accident, gunshot wound, or jump/fall from a height. However, in an older population a simple fall may cause a femoral fracture due to reduced bone mineral density. A femoral fracture is a very serious injury and needs 3-6 months to heal. Femur fractures can be classified in three types: 1  Femoral head fracture. 2  Femoral shaft fracture.

- They reviewed 72 patients with femoral shaft fractures and tibial or ankle fractures requiring internal fixation over a six year period. All femoral shaft fractures were treated with reamed intramedullary nails, and the patients were divided into groups, based on whether the tibial or ankle injury was managed surgically with or without a tourniquet.

3 Common Types of Fibula Fractures There are a number of different types of injury to the fibula bone. 1  For the purpose of this discussion, I will divide them into more manageable topics: 2  Fibula fractures that occur as a result of injury to the ankle joint. 3  Fibula fractures that occur in conjunction with tibia fractures. 4  Stress fractures of the fibula.

Simple & Compound Fractures The two traumatic types of fractures are often seen as a result of a traffic accident. Kalka & Baer LLC has seen many accident victims with either of these types of injury, commonly occurring in the wrist or arm, with bicycle, motorcycle and car crashes. 1  Simple Fracture: Often called a closed fracture, a simple fracture is a fracture in which the injured bone cracks or breaks but does not pierce the skin.

- 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.

- There can be either a single break or multiple breaks in a bone. A hip fracture is classified by the specific area of the break and the type of break(s) in the bone. The most common types of hip fractures are: Femoral neck fracture.

They are subdivided into type A, for fractures below the lesser trochanter, and type B, for fractures involving the lesser trochanter.he Russell-Taylor classification of subtrochanteric femur fractures.

Anatomy Most growth plate fractures occur in the long bones of the fingers. They are also common in the outer bone of the forearm (radius) and lower bones of the leg (the tibia and fibula). Several classification systems have been developed that categorize the different types of growth plate fractures.

- This article reviews the pelvic bone anatomy and the five most common acetabular fractures: both-column, T-shaped, transverse, transverse with posterior wall, and isolated posterior wall [ 2 ]. A fracture classification algorithm based on radiography is used, with correlation made to CT.

Elbow Fractures The different types of elbow fractures include: Radial head and neck fractures (Figure 2). Pain is usually worse with forearm rotation (turning the palm up and down). The treatment for this fracture depends on the number and size of the bone fragments. Complex fractures often require surgery to repair and stabilize the fragments or to remove or replace the radial head if there are too many bony pieces. Olecranon fractures (see Figure 3).

The Types and Symptoms of Ankle Fractures There are many types of ankle fractures, here are the most common: Lateral Malleolus Fractures (fibula only): Fractures of the fibula alone are the most common type of ankle fracture. Most fibular fractures can be treated without surgery, but it is important to ensure the ankle joint remains stable.

Humeral shaft fractures Humeral shaft fractures. Introduction. Humeral shaft fractures are defined as fractures in which the major fracture line occurs distal to the insertion of the pectoralis major and proximal to the supracondylar ridge. It is estimated that these fractures comprise 3-5% of all fractures in adults.

What is comminuted fracture Comminuted Fractures. Apart from all the previous fractures additional type of fractures is comminuted fracture. It is specific since it consists of multiple bone fragments. The fracture can be classified as comminuted only if a fracture consists of at least three fragments.

Femoral Shaft Fracture Cause of a femoral shaft fracture. Due to the strength of the femoral bone, a femoral shaft fracture usually requires a large amount of force. This typically occurs due to a fall (usually from a height, and often onto a hard surface) or due to a direct blow to the femur such as a motor vehicle accident.

- 253A: Displaced fracture of greater tuberosity of unspecified humerus, initial encounter for closed fracture. BONE FRACTURES There are two basic types of bone fracture: open or compound, in which the skin is broken and the bone is exposed, or closed fractures, in which the skin near the bone isn't broken. A new classification of soft-tissue damage in open and closed fractures.
