Typically, Monteggia fracture-dislocations occur as the result of a fall onto an outstretched hand (FOOSH) 4.. Galeazzi fracture-dislocations are unstable requiring surgical intervention, which involves open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the radial fracture, intraoperative assessment of the distal radioulnar joint for reducibility and stability, and subsequent Kirschner wire fixation of the ulna to the radius, triangular Radiographics. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, bruising, and an inability to walk on the injured leg. This occurrence is known as "toddler's fracture". Classification. A number of classification systems exist for distal forearm fractures. lover's fracture medial sustentaculum; intra-articular: 70-75% This can occur following an angulated longitudinal force applied down the bone (e.g. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. Etiology and demographics will vary significantly depending on the population demographics and with where patients present.

WebA fracture of the calcaneus, or heel bone, can be a painful and disabling injury. Most of these are small avulsion fractures involving the tip of the ulnar styloid. When this occurs, the heel can widen, shorten, and become deformed. This article describes radiographic features to check for and possible complications. It should be noted that cartilaginous injuries cannot be detected radiologically and that imaging of simple nasal bone fractures often adds little to patient management. In the setting of a trauma center in New Zealand, 90% of patients are male, with 64% between the ages of 15 and 29 2: chin paresthaesia (damage to the mental nerve, a terminal branch of the inferior alveolar nerve), laceration of the skin of the external acoustic meatus, condyle or neck: 15-36% (see:TMJ trauma).

Patients with any neurological deficit or unstable fracture patterns (damage to the posterior ligaments) will need surgical fixation to decompress the spinal cord and stabilize the fracture 5. Younger patients who sustain Colles fractures have usually been involved in high impact trauma or have fallen, e.g. They are commonly mid-diaphyseal, affecting the forearm and lower leg. Dreizin D, Nam A, Tirada N et al. If there is significant pain under the foot then this may indicate a partial avulsion, where the tendon pulls away from the bone at the attachment to the bone. Hefti F. Pediatric Orthopedics in Practice. Plain films usually suffice, although if there is a concern of intra-articular extension, then CT may be beneficial. The Bado classification is used to subdivide the fracture-dislocation into four types which all have different treatment options and prognoses and is based on the principle that the direction in which the apex of the ulnar (2001) ISBN:1588900606. 3. Imaging of Mandibular Fractures: A Pictorial Review. Fractures at the very base of the ulnar styloid can cause instability of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) and disruption of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) insertion at the ulnar fovea. Falls, motor vehicle collisions, pedestrian accidents, cycling and diving are common causes of injury 6,7. The fracture resembles the break that results when a supple green branch of a tree is bent and breaks incompletely. For example, a spiral fracture of the tibia (the shinbone) can occur in young children when they fall short on an extended leg while jumping. Unifocal fractures are common, accounting for approximately 40% of all mandibular fractures 1: Treatment can be conservative or involve formal reduction (which may be open or closed). One of the more popular is the Frykman classification system, although it fails to distinguish between Smith and Colles fractures as it is based on AP radiographs 2,3. Traditionally, a burst fracture of the calcaneus was known as "Lovers Fracture" as the injury would occur as a suitor would jump off a lover's balcony (axial loading) to avoid detection.[1] Treatment. After the nasal bones, the mandible is considered the second most common site of facial fractures. It is argued that these injuries, therefore, need open stabilization. In addition to noting the presence of a fracture a number of features should be sought and commented upon: The vast majority of Colles fractures can be treated with closed reduction and cast immobilization.

Greenstick fracturesare incomplete fractures of long bones and are usually seen in young children, more commonly less than 10 years of age. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) avulsion fracture or tibial eminence avulsion fracture is a type of avulsion fracture of the knee. This fracture is very different, and much less common, than the torus fracture that results in buckling of the cortex on the concave side of the bend and an intact convex surface. Most of these fractures are treated with a hard-soled shoe torsion fracture) is a bone fracture occurring when torque (a rotating force) is applied along the axis of a bone.

They are distinct from torus fractures. Although traditionally the mandible and base of skull are thought to form a complete bony ring, interrupted only by the TMJs.This should mean that the mandible should fracture in two places (akin to the bony pelvis) making single fractures uncommon, but this in fact Most Colles fractures are secondary to a fall on an outstretched hand (FOOSH) with a pronated forearm in wrist extension (the position one adopts when trying to break a forward fall). It is for this reason that the 5 th metatarsal base must be included in the lateral ankle projection of an ankle series, transverse fracture 1.5-2 cm from tip of proximal tuberosity. If immobilization is impractical (large body habitus) or the patient has polytrauma, surgical management may also be indicated. fractures involving a single facial buttress, Meyers and McKeevers classification (anterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture), Watson-Jones classification (tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture), Nunley-Vertullo classification (Lisfranc injury), pelvis and lower limb fractures by region.
