describe XR
details - date and time, area of body, adequacy ( 2 projections , joint above and below any rotation or penetration
alignment and joint space
bone texture -density
corticies
soft tissue
what type of fracture
where is it - diphysis, meta or epi
is it displaced
is something else going on like another fracture
what is closed fracture
- bone is broken but skin intact
open frcture
skin may be pierced, bone may be visible.
horizontal fracture
horizontal line fracture pressure from both up and down
spiral fracture
twisting motion of breaking - fracture line wraps around bone like a corkscrew
comminuted fracture
bone shatters in 3 or more places
impacted fracture
children due to bone compression - weight crumble or compression like jumping to pressure from below
greenstick fracture
partial thickness fracture where only cortex and periosteum are interrupted on one of the bone but remain interrupted on the other
incomplete fracture bowing
the long bone has been bent
buckle fracture
the fracture of the concave surface – (buckle fractures are also called torus and are defined as a compression of the bony cortex on one side with the opposite cortex remaining intact but greenstick fracture is when the opposite cortex is not intact.
why is it imrotnat to determine opne or closed
