Answer 9

Pathological fracture

Question 10

According to the PATH OF LINE, fractures are classified as

Answer 10

Transverse
Oblique
Spiral
Longitudinal

Question 11

The line of fracture is perpendicular to the long axis of the bone

Answer 11

Transverse

Question 12

The line is at oblique angle to the long axis of the bone

Answer 12

Oblique

Question 13

A severe form of oblique fracture in which the plane rotates along the long axis of the bone. These fractures occur due to rotational force.

Answer 13

Spiral

Question 14

The line runs nearly parallel to the long axis of the bone.

Answer 14

Longitudinal

Question 15

Occur due to rotational forces

Answer 15

Spiral

Question 16

Can be considered a long oblique fracture

Answer 16

Longitudinal

Question 17

Comminuted
Stellate
Impacted
Depressed
Avulsion
Greenstick

Question 18

Answer 18

Comminuted

Question 19

Fracture in the young bone of children where the break is incomplete leaving one cortex intact

Answer 19

Greenstick

Question 20

Occurs in the flat bones of the skull and in the patella, where the fracture lines rub in various directions from one point

Answer 20

Stellate

Question 21

A chip of bone is avulsed by the sudden and unexpected contraction of a powerful muscle from its point of insertion

Answer 21

Avulsion

Question 22

A break in the continuity of a bone or cartilage

Answer 22

FRACTURE

Question 23

A vertical force drives the distal fragment of the fracture into the proximal fragment

Answer 23

Impacted

Question 24

Occurs in the skull where a segment of bone gets depressed into the cranium

Answer 24

Depressed

Question 25

A forcible separation or detachment

Answer 25

Avulsion

Question 26

The outer layer / superficial layer of an organ in the body or bodily structure

Answer 26

Cortex
