Fractures

break in continuity of bone
  • Traumatic-sustained due to excessive force-a qualified fracture usually means traumatic fracture
  • Pathological-usually trivial-bone already weak by underlying disease
  • Displaced fracture may occur due to fracturing force/muscle pull on fracture filaments/gravity-displacement may be shift/angulation/rotation
  • Simple/closed
  • Compound/open-
  1. internal compounding-piercing of sharp fracture end
  2. external compounding-lacreation+fracture from outside

  • Transverse # fracture line perpendicular to long axis of bone, caused by tapping/bending force
  • Oblique #line of # oblique, caused by a bending force which in addition has component along the long axis of the bone
  • Comminuted #with miltiple fragments,caused by crushing/compression force along the long axis of the bone
  • Segmental # two fractures in same bone@different levels

Fractures with Eponyms
  • Monteggia #dislocation #proximal 1/3rd of ulna + dislocation of head of radius
  • Galeazzi #dislocation # distal 1/3rd of radius with dislocation of distal radio-ulnar joint
  • Night stick # isolated # shaft of ulna
  • Colles' # occuring in adults@cortico-cancellous junction of distal end of radius + dorsal tilt & other displacements
  • Smith's # occur in adults@cortico-cancellous junction of distal end of radius with ventral tilt & other displacements (reverse Colles')
  • Barton's (marginal) # intra-articular# through distal articular surface of radius, taking a margin, anterior/posterior of the distal radius with the carpals displaced anteriorly/posteriorly
  • Chauffeur's # intra-articular oblique # of styloid process of radius
  • Bennet's # dislocation-oblique,intra-articular # of base of 1st metacarpal with sublaxation of trapezio-metacarpal joint
  • Rolando # extra articular # of base of 1st metacarpal
  • Boxer's # a ventrally displaced # through the neck of the 5th metacarpal-common in boxers
  • Side swipe # an elbow injury, combination of #distal end of humerus with # proximal end of radius &/or ulna (baby car #)
  • Bumper # comminuted depressed type-lateral condyle of tibia
  • Pott's # bimalleolar ankle
  • Cotton's # trimalleolar ankle
  • Massonaise's # ankle with # neck of fibula
  • Pilon # comminuted, depressed intra-articular # distal end of tibia
  • Aviator's # neck of talus
  • Chopart # dislocation # dislocation through inter tarsal joints
  • Jone's # Avulsion # base of 5th metatarsal
  • Jeffersen's # 1st cervical vertebra
  • Whiplash Injury- cervical spine injury involving sudden flexion followed by hyperextension
  • Chance # also called seat belt #, line of # runs horizontally through the body of vertebra through & through to the posterior elements
  • March # fatigue # of shaft of 2nd & 3rd metatarsal
  • Burst # comminuted # of vertebral body where fragments burst out in different directions
  • Clay-Shoveller's # an avulsion # of spinous process of one or more of the lower cervical or upper thoracic vertebra
  • Hangman's # pedicle & lalamina of C2 vertebra, with sublaxation of C2 over C3-sustained in hanging
  • Dashboard # posterior lip # of acetabulum, often associated with posterior dislocation of hip
  • Straddle # bilateral superior & inferior pubic rami #
  • Malgaigne's # a type of pelvis # in which there is a combination of #s- pubic rami anteriorly & SI joint/ilium posteriorly, on the same side
  • Mallet Finger- a finger flexed at the DIP joint d/t avulsion or rupture of extensor tendon@base of distal phallanx

  2. I was diagnose April 17,2015 and find out I'm HIV positive.I was scared because there is no cure for HIV/AIDS but today some people still don't believe that there is cure for HIV, it can only be cured through Africans root and herbs,and our doctor's here in USA few of them know about the African herbal medicine can cure Hiv but they chooses to hide it from us just to make a sales of medical expertise. I did a research online finding way to get rid of my disease,I saw a comment about a herbal doctor on internet Name Dr itua ,who has cured several disease with his powerful herbal medicine, I contacted him on whats-app, chat with him explain my self to him.He said he can cure hiv perfectly well , he gave me his request which i send to him. within 5 days he sent me the herbal medicine through ups courier delivering service And told me how to take the medicine for 2 weeks to get cured,I did for 2 weeks, within this 7 days i notice a very big change in my health and i new some thing great has happened then i went to confirm my result after finishing the herbal medicine for two weeks it was absolutely negative.The doctor who new i was hiv positive was asking me how come i am negative, what did it took to get cure and were did i get this medicine from and how did i get rid of it I told him every thing about the herbal medicine that cure me. imagine doctor telling me not to let anyone know about it,I wasn't shock though i knew they know about the herbal cure but chose to hide it in other to make sales on medicals expertise,if you are HIV positive Or other disease such
