Hole in a bone for transmission of vessels and nerves

19
Q

Nondisplaced Fracture

A

Bones broken but still in alignment

20

*Most complicated/severe fracture

23
Q

Comminuted (open) Fracture

A

Fracture site has bone particles

24
Q

Greenstick Fracture

A

Nondisplaced; Similar to breaking a limb of a tree; does not break all the way through

Q

Impacted Fracture

A

Similar to compression; looks different though

26
Q

Transverse Fracture

A

Fractured at an angle through the bone

27
Q

Spiral (Oblique) Fracture

A

Fractured diagonally through the bone

28
Q

A

Recumbent w. patient lying on left anterior side w. left leg extended and right knee and thigh partially flexed

32
Q

Lithotomy position

A

Supine w. knees and hips flexed and thighs abducted and rotated externally, supported by ankle support

33
Q

Lateral position
