16
Q

Green stick fracture

A
  • Fracture through one cortex
  • No mobility of segments
  • Children
17
Q

Simple fracture

A

Doesn’t communicate with external environment-Closed fracture

18
Q

Compound fracture

A
  • Communicates with external environment→ skin or soft tissue
  • Open fracture
19
Q

Comminuted fracture

A

Multiple segments of bone due to force of trauma

20
Q

Telescopic/impacted fracture

A

One fractured segment driven into another

21
Q

Complex fracture

A

Damage to adjacent structure

22
Q

Pathologic fracture

A

-Resulting from normal function in area of diseased bone

23
Q

Classifications of TMJ fractures

A
  • Displaced-condyle within glenoid fossa
  • Dislocated- No longer within fossa
  • Extracapsular-Fracture not involving capsule of TMJ
  • Intracapsular-Fracture within TMJ capsule
24
Q

Types of soft tissue trauma

A

Contusion

Abrasion

Laceration

Tissue avulsion

25
Q

Soft tissue contusion

A
  • Bruise without break in skin/mucosa
  • Subcutaneous haemorrhage→ hematoma and swelling of tissue
  • May indicate fracture
26
Q

Soft tissue abrasion

A

-Superficial wound→ rubbing or scraping of skin or mucosa

27
Q

Soft tissue laceration

A
  • Penetrating wound into soft tissue
  • Disrupts vessels, nerves, muscles and glands
  • Common in lips and gingiva
28
Q

Soft tissue avulsion

A
  • Loss of tissue
  • Rare
  • Seen in bites
