A trochanteric fracture is a fracture involving the greater and/or lesser trochanters of the femur.. Classification. Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures are a type of avulsion fracture of the knee that represent the most common isolated PCL lesion. Conveniently the Salter-Harris types can be remembered by the mnemonic SALTR.. type I. slipped; 5-7%; fracture plane passes all the way As a historical note, there are four methods of judicial hanging, and the process is more complicated than may be evident at first glance. It is for this reason that the 5 th metatarsal base must be included in the lateral ankle projection of an ankle series, WebThe fibula or calf bone is a leg bone on the lateral side of the tibia, to which it is connected above and below.It is the smaller of the two bones and, in proportion to its length, the most slender of all the long bones. Plain radiograph. There are 2 joints that are involved in a fractured ankle. Classification. As the physiological closure of the physeal plate begins medially, the lateral (open) physis is prone to this type of fracture. WebA trimalleolar fracture is a fracture of the ankle that involves the lateral malleolus, the medial malleolus, and the distal posterior aspect of the tibia, which can be termed the posterior malleolus.The trauma is sometimes accompanied by ligament damage and dislocation.. Os peroneum is an accessory bone (ossicle) located at the lateral side of the tarsal cuboid, proximal to the base of 5th metatarsal, commonly mistaken for a fracture; Clinical Features Dancer, pseudo-Jones, or tuberosity (styloid) avulsion fracture. They should not be confused with fatigue fractures which are due to abnormal stresses on normal bone, or with pathological fractures, the result of diseased, weakened bone due to WebAn avulsion fracture is where a fragment of bone is pulled away at the ligamentous or tendinous attachment. Ankle Joints. Trimalleolar fractures refer to a three-part fracture of the ankle. Odontoid process fracture, also known as a peg or dens fracture, occurs where there is a fracture through the odontoid process of C2. Pathology.

Fatigue fractures are Most common fracture at base of 5th metatarsal WebAn avulsion fracture is where a fragment of bone is pulled away at the ligamentous or tendinous attachment. Differential diagnosis Webtibial plafond and talus are broader anteriorly and wider laterally. Barton fractures are fractures of the distal radius.It is also sometimes termed the dorsal type Barton fracture to distinguish it from the volar type or reverse Barton fracture.. Barton fractures extend through the dorsal aspect to the articular surface but not to the volar aspect. It is interesting to note that the word chauffeur comes from the French for "someone who warms" the car engine. Epidemiology An ankle avulsion fracture occurs when a tendon or ligament tears, pulling a small piece of bone with it. Lateral short oblique or spiral fracture of fibula (anterosuperior to posteroinferior) above the level of the joint. type III: fracture that traverses the primary and secondary ossification centers (most common type) type IV: fracture through the entire physis type V: avulsion of the periosteal sleeve; modifiers: A - nondisplaced and B - displaced Watson-Jones classification: type 1: avulsion of the apophysis without injury to the tibial epiphysis Its upper extremity is small, placed toward the back of the head of the tibia, below the knee joint and excluded from the formation of this joint. Traditionally this avulsion fracture has been ascribed to the insertion of peroneus brevis and is caused by forcible inversion of the foot in plantar flexion, as may occur while stepping on a curb or climbing steps. Terminology. These fractures are avulsion fractions of the ossification center of the lateral condyle, and as such are sometimes referred to as a lateral epicondyle avulsion fracture; either term is acceptable.They are distinct from a lateral condyle fracture which is a very different fracture despite the similar name..

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. Fractures in these regions can be classified as: intertrochanteric fracture; pertrochanteric: intertrochanteric, involving both trochanters; subtrochanteric fracture; greater trochanteric avulsion fracture orbital blow-out fracture; frontal process of the maxilla; Nasal septal hematoma should also be actively assessed. A Hill-Sachs defect is the terminology of preference over other terms, such as Hill-Sachs lesions, and Hill-Sachs fractures 14.. Repeat dislocations lead to larger defects, which can result in an "engaging" Hill-Sachs defect, which engages the anterior glenoid when the shoulder is abducted and externally rotated 4 (see article: on Most lateral ankle ligament sprains heal within a few weeks as long they have sufficient rest and proper treatment. It is also known as backfire fracture or lorry driver fracture 1. An ankle avulsion fracture occurs when a tendon or ligament tears, pulling a small piece of bone with it. Dorsal avulsion fracture. There may be anterior translation of the femur on the tibia on the lateral view. For instance, a break at the bottom of the fibula is known as a lateral malleolus fracture.
