Document Summary
Simple fracture - fracture w two parts - split in half. Comminuted fracture - two or more pieces (blunt trauma) Hairline fracture - minimal, usually from overuse (runners) Compression fracture - when bone collapses, can happen in vertebrae - will affect periphery. Avulsion of greater trochanter: - cause: direct trauma, knee lifts (trauma to iliopsoas) Lower limb takes longer - due to larger bones. Infection: malunion, vascular damage, loose cast, compartment cyndrome, cast dermatitis, late complications, delayed union, non-union, malunion, myositis ossificans, avascular bone necrosis, disuse osteoporosis. Colle"s fracture - transverse fracture of distal radius, fragment displaces dorsally. Smiths is opposite of colle"s goes inward (anteriorly) Joint ealth decreases due to decreased successive action. Testing of muscles and joints involved in fracture is c/i. Careful assessment of active and passive rom of proximal and distal joints is. Avoid testing within first week that immobilization has been removed. Do not stress repairing bone w testing, especially before consolidation.
