Exam II Flashcards
A fracture type in which the fragments are in anatomic alignment
Nondisplaced
A fracture type in which the fragments are no longer in their usual alignment
Displaced
A fracture type in which the fragments are malaglinged
Angulated
A fracture type in which the distal fragment longitudinally OVERLAPS the proximal fragment
Bayonetted
What is an open fracture?
The skin over and near the fracture is lacerated or abraded by the injury (bone pierces the overlying skin)
DEF need antibiotics
what is a closed fracture?
The skin over and near the fracture is intact
A pattern of fracture that is perpendicular to the shaft of the bone
Transverse
A pattern of fracture in which there are more than two fracture fragments
Comminuted
A pattern of fracture in which there is an angulated fracture line
Oblique
A pattern of fracture that spirals part of the length of a long bone
Spiral
A type of comminuted fracture in which a completely separate segment of bone is bordered by fracture lines
Segmental
A pattern of fracture when fracture line crosses the articular cartilage and enters the joint
Intra-articular
A pattern of fracture that occurs when one bone hits or impacts an adjacent bone
Impaction
A pattern of fracture, often seen in children, when an incomplete buckle fracture of one cortex
Torus
An incomplete fracture in a long bone of a child
Greenstick
A pattern of fracture that is a type of impaction fracture that occurs in the vertebrae, resulting in depression of the end plates
Compression
A pattern of fracture that is an impaction fracture that occurs in the knee when the femoral condyle strikes the softer tibial plateau
Depression
A pattern of fracture that is in normal bone that has been subjected to repeated or cyclical loads that in and of themselves are not sufficient to cause a fracture
Stress (fatigue) fracture
A pattern of fracture that is in normal bone that has been subjected to repeated or cyclical loads that in and of themselves are not sufficient to cause a fracture
Stress (fatigue) fracture
What is the code for diagnosis?
ICD 10
what is a system of codes for services delivered?
HCPCS levels
what code is assigned to supplies and materials?
HCPCS codes
what code is assigned to every procedure?
CPT codes
what 5 digit codes beginning with “99” are used to define the degree of services provided? (aka extent of medical decision making done)
E+M codes
