  penetrate the skin.

Answer 2

OPEN OR COMPOUND FRACTURE

Question 3

Answer 3

CLOSED FRACTURE

Question 4

• those in which the bone has separated into two fragments

Answer 4

COMPLETE FRACTURE

Question 5

those in which only part of the bony structure gives way, with little or no displacement

Answer 5

INCOMPLETE

Question 6

bone is separated into two or more and often numerous fragments

Answer 6

COMMINUTED FRACTURE

Question 7

complete fractures that are at right angles to the long axis of the bone

type of incomplete fracture that extends from the surface into but not all the way through a long bone

Answer 8

FISSURE

Question 9

• axis of the fracture is neither parallel nor perpendicular to the bone. The length and angle of the

Answer 16

STRESS/FATIGUE STRESS

Question 17

occur at sites of maximal strain on a bone, usually in connection with unaccustomed activity

Answer 17

FATIGUE

Question 18

commonly a transverse fracture occurring in abnormal bone that is weakened by various diseases

Answer 18

PATHOLOGIC

Question 19

a fractures of the base of the first metacarpal with involvement of the First carpometacarpal joint

Answer 19

Question 20

fracture through the distal one-inch of the radius

Answer 20

Colle’s

Question 21

a reverse Colle’s fracture with displacement toward the palmar aspect of the hand

Answer 21

Smith’s

Question 22

common pediatric fracture in which there is an alteration in the alignment of the condyles, may come to lie directly under the shaft of the humerus

Answer 22

Supracondylar

Question 23

usually caused by falling on one’s hand

Answer 23

Carpal-Navicular Fracture

Question 24

involves both malleoli, with dislocation of the ankle joint

Answer 24

Pott’s

Question 25

- exact location and severity of a hip fracture depend on the direction of the forces involved - most common types of hip fractures include subcapital, transcervical and intertrochanteric

Answer 25

Hip Fractures

Question 26

a fracture of the lateral and medial malleolus

Answer 26

Bimalleolar Fracture

Question 27

has three components: the medial and lateral malleolus and the posterior distal tibia

Answer 27

Trimalleolar Fracture

Question 28

- a common transverse fracture that occurs when the foot is suddenly twisted when the ankle pronates

Answer 28

Fracture of the Base of the Fifth Metatarsal

Question 29

- occurs when a person falls directly on the patella, shattering it

Answer 29

Stellate Fracture

Question 30

- a comminuted fracture in which there are one or more butterfly wing or wedge-shaped fragments split off from the main fragments

Answer 30

Butterfly

Question 31

- in which the cortex breaks on one side without separation or breaking of the opposing cortex. - found almost exclusively in infants and children because of the softness of the cancellous bone

Answer 31

Greenstick

avulsion fracture of a small fragment or chip of bone from the corner of a phalanx or other long bone

Answer 32

Chip

Question 33

type of incomplete fracture resulting from penetration by a sharp object such a bullet or a knife

Answer 33

Penetrating

Question 34

- occurs when the fifth metacarpal fractures as a result of a blow to or with the hand

Answer 34
