Lumbar Spine Trauma Imaging Burst Fracture of the Lumbar Spine. General Considerations. Burst fractures result from axial loading most often secondary to motor vehicle accidents and falls. The axial load drives the intervertebral disk into vertebral body below. Usually produces a comminuted, vertical fracture through the vertebral body.

- A ligament called the annular ligament circles the radial head and holds it in place. A radial head fracture is usually caused by a fall on the outstretched hand. The force is transferred from the hand through the forearm to the elbow. There is immediate pain on the outside of the elbow.

Growth Plate Fractures Type V – Compression fracture through growth plate: This type of fracture is a rare condition where the end of the bone gets crushed and the growth plate is compressed. It can occur at the knee or ankle joint. Causes. Growth plate injuries are caused by accidental falls or blows to the limbs during sports activities such as gymnastics, baseball, or running. 1  They may also result from overuse of tendons and certain bone disorders such as infection that can affect the normal growth and development of the bone.

Avulsion fracture of the anterior superior iliac spine: misdiagnosis of a bone tumour Avulsion fractures of the anterior superior iliac spine are rare. This injury is usually seen in adolescents, as an avulsion fracture of the apophyses, a result of sudden vigorous contraction or repetitive contraction of the sartorius and tensor fasciae latae muscles.

Types of Fractures Transverse fractures are sometimes called chalkstick fractures because the broken bone has been said to resemble a broken stick of chalk. Simple oblique fractures - are those in which the break is at an angle of 30 degrees (30o) or more to the long axis of the bone. Simple spiral fractures - the line of the fracture spirals around the bone, can be due to torsional forces.

Burst Fractures: Treatment and Recovery Treatment. A stable burst fracture may be treated without surgery. In general, a stable burst fracture is one in which there is no neurologic injury, in which the angulation of the spine is less than 20 degrees and in which the amount of spinal canal compromise is less than 50 percent.In these patients, treatment with a brace may lead to an excellent result.urgery. A burst fracture is considered unstable if neurologic injury is present, angulation of the spine is greater than 20 degrees, there is subluxation or dislocation of the spine, or there is greater than 50 percent spinal canal compromise.

Burst Fractures: Treatment and Recovery As mentioned, occasionally an unstable burst fracture can be treated with bracing alone. Without neurologic deficit, but with an unstable spine, a posterior procedure may be performed. Surgery for burst fractures may be performed from either an anterior (front) or posterior (back) approach. This means that the surgeon makes an incision in the back of the spine in order to place rods, screws and hooks in order to hold the spine in place.

- Stress fractures can result from repetitive mechanical stress or structural defects in the bone that make it weak or brittle. Femoral neck fractures in the elderly may occur spontaneously or following low-velocity trauma; in young adults, femoral neck fracture usually is caused by high-velocity trauma.

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).

Skull fracture A depressed skull fracture is a type of fracture usually resulting from blunt force trauma, such as getting struck with a hammer, rock or getting kicked in the head. These types of fractures—which occur in 11% of severe head injuries—are comminuted fractures in which broken bones displace inward.

Acetabular Fracture Causes and Risk Factors. Acetabular fractures are usually caused by either high-energy trauma, most commonly from an automobile accident, or from what is called an insufficiency fracture. An insufficiency fracture is most common in older patients and is caused by the bone being weakened by osteoporosis.

Iliac wing fractures These fractures are typically caused by vertically directed forces. Posterior iliac wing fractures that involve the weight bearing axis are unstable and may be extra-articular or involve the sacroiliac (SI) joint to some degree.

- Tibial tubercle avulsion fractures are often caused be a sudden force (jumping or landing) that puts pressure on the growth plate that exceeds its strength. Another common cause of injury is kicking a ball and having the foot strike the ground or an opponent.

Femoral head fractures Femoral head fractures. Femoral head fractures are very rare injuries, almost always caused by hip dislocations. The femoral head is fed by three arteries, the main one of which is the medial femoral circumflex. If this is disrupted, there is a high risk of avascular necrosis. The standard classification of femoral head fractures is that of Pipkin.

Cause The majority of fractures (broken bones) do not lead to infections. When infections do occur after fractures, the treatment and recovery can be prolonged and complicated. Cause. Infections typically occur in fractures because bacteria enter the body during the traumatic event. Although uncommon, bacteria can also enter the body during surgery to set the broken bones.

Imaging in Skull Fractures Diastatic skull fractures. These are fractures that occur along the suture lines in the skull. The sutures are the areas between the bones in the head that fuse with the growth of the child. In this type of fracture, the normal suture lines are widened. These fractures are more often seen in newborns and infants.

Skull Fractures A skull fracture is any break in the cranial bone, also known as the skull. There are many types of skull fractures, but only one major cause: an impact or a blow to the head that’s strong enough to break the bone. An injury to the brain can also accompany the fracture, but that’s not always the case.

Burst Fracture Definition A burst fracture is a spinal injury where the vertebra breaks due to immediate and severe compression. Immediate trauma such as a car accident or a severe fall are the leading causes for burst fractures with pieces of the vertebra shattering into surrounding tissues and sometimes the spinal canal.This is different from a compression fracture in that the vertebra breaks in multiple directions.A patient with a burst fracture requires immediate hospitalization and treatment to prevent or minimize spinal cord injury.Immediate hospitalization is required, as such injuries may result in varying degrees of spinal cord injury with possible paralysis.mmediate trauma such as a car accident or a severe fall are the leading causes for burst fractures with pieces of the vertebra shattering into surrounding tissues and sometimes the spinal canal.
