Wrist Flashcards
Radiocarpal Dislocation
Disruption of radiocarpal ligaments and usually radial and ulnar styloid.
Post Closed Reduction
After procedure to return bone to original position without surgery.
Torus Fracture
Incomplete fracture of a long bone due to compression.
A.K.A buckle fracture.
Greenstick Fracture
Fracture on convex side of bone without subsequent fracture on concave side, due to the bone bending during injury.

Possibly commonuted: Salter-Harris (child), Greenstick (child).
Post Open Reduction Internal Fixation
After surgery to return bone into original position and using supports to fix in position.
