Question 12

Define the following patterns of fracture:

Intact skin over fracture/hematoma

Answer 12

Closed

Question 13

Define the following patterns of fracture:
Wound overlying fracture, through which fracture fragments are in continuity
with outside environment; high risk of infection

Answer 13

Open fracture

Question 14

Define the following patterns of fracture:

One fracture line, two bone fragments

Answer 14

Simple fracture

Question 15

Define the following patterns of fracture:

Results in more than two bone fragments (a.k.a. “fragmentation”)

Answer 15

Comminuted

Question 16

Define the following patterns of fracture:

Two complete fractures with a “segment” in between

Answer 16

Segmental fracture

Question 17

Define the ff fracture pattern:

Fracture line creates an oblique angle with long axis of bone

Answer 17

Oblique fracture

Question 18

Define the ff fracture pattern: Severe oblique fracture in which fracture plane rotates along the long axis of
bone; caused by a twisting injury

Answer 18

Spiral fracture

Question 19

Define the ff fracture pattern:
Fracture resulting from compressive force; end of bone is driven into
contiguous metaphyseal region without displacement

Answer 19

Impacted Fracture

Question 20

Define the ff fracture pattern:

Fracture through abnormal bone (e.g., tumor-laden or osteoporotic bone)
