Epidemiology. Treatment and prognosis Impact. 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 focal pathology 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. The Neer classification of proximal humeral fractures is probably the most frequently used system along with the AO classification of proximal humeral fractures.The terminology and factors which influence the classification are essential for the utility of radiology reports of proximal humeral fractures.. Terminology. The two main components of the An elongated lateral tubercle of the posterior process of the talus is referred to as a Stieda process, so occasionally these fractures are described as Stieda process fractures.. A Cedell fracture is a fracture of the medial tubercle of the posterior process. On plain film, dorsal avulsion injuries are best detected on a lateral projection, where typically an avulsed flake of bone is identified lying posteriorly to the triquetral bone (see pooping duck sign). Practical points. Minimally displaced fractures can be treated with either cast immobilization or an upper arm splint, with a 50% of resulting in a pseudoarthrosis 3 . Notice that there is also an avulsion at the tibial insertion of the anterior syndesmosis, i.e. Terminology. It can be identified as a bone discontinuity at the posterior tibial articular surface (lateral radiograph view). 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 not the case, with ~40% of Epidemiology These fractures have an incidence 0.4% to 2.7%, and males are affected more-so than females. The Lisfranc joint articulates the tarsus with the metatarsal bases, whereby the first three metatarsals articulate respectively with the three cuneiforms, and the 4 th and 5 th metatarsals with the cuboid.. Trauma surgeons tend to use a different classification based on the energy and velocity of the trauma 5. Conveniently the Salter-Harris types can be remembered by the mnemonic SALTR.. type I. slipped; 5-7%; fracture plane passes all the way through the Odontoid process fracture, also known as a peg or dens fracture, occurs where there is a fracture through the odontoid process of C2. The Frykman classification of distal radial fractures is based on the AP appearance and encompasses the eponymous entities of Colles fracture, Smith fracture, Barton fracture, chauffeur fracture.. The Gehweiler classification describes injuries of the atlas with a burst or type 3 injury defining the pattern seen in a Jefferson fracture. Treatment and prognosis. It is also known as backfire fracture or lorry driver fracture 1. Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), also known as shin splints, describes a spectrum of exercise-induced stress injury that occurs at the medial tibial mid-to-distal shaft. CT. may miss up to 50% of rib fractures even with dedicated oblique rib projections 1; Ultrasound 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 fibrocartilage complex Radiographic features. The explanation is that on the lateral radiograph the fibula projects in the middle of the tibia. Cervical spine fractures can occur secondary to exaggerated flexion or extension, or because of direct trauma or axial loading.. Coronoid process fractures have been classified into three types within the Regan and Morrey classification system 1:. See: Mayo classification of scaphoid fractures. It is positionally different from the wrist series. Anderson and D'Alonzo Due to the aforementioned characteristics, the fracture typically resembles: Salter-Harris 3 fracture on AP Salter-Harris 2 fracture on lateral Small dislocations and the vertical fracture itself are frequently overlooked, and CT is advised if there is concern. This system divides tibial plateau fractures into six types: Schatzker I: wedge-shaped pure cleavage fracture of the lateral tibial plateau, originally defined as having less than 4 mm of depression or displacement Schatzker II: splitting and depression of the lateral tibial plateau; namely, type I fracture with a depressed component (generally 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 fracture points is the The fracture complex results from a direct blow to the malar eminence and results in three distinct fracture components that disrupt the anchoring of the zygoma. This typically involves separation of the tibial attachment of the ACL to variable degrees. This combination of findings implicate that the ankle is unstable. Classification. The Salter-Harris classification was proposed by Salter and Harris in 1963 1 and at the time of writing (June 2016) remains the most widely used system for describing physeal fractures.. radius, and this is usually diaphyseal (either greenstick or complete). Le Fort fractures are fractures of the midface, which collectively involve separation of all or a portion of the midface from the skull base.In order to be separated from the skull base, the pterygoid plates of the sphenoid bone need to be involved as these connect the midface to the sphenoid bone dorsally. Falls, motor vehicle collisions, pedestrian accidents, cycling and diving are common causes of injury 6,7. Disruption of the transverse atlantal ligament (transverse band of the cruciform ligament ) was also described by Dickman and incorporated into classifying these injuries. Sometimes the fractures may not seem very apparent on x-ray if there is no displacement. In the spring of 2020, we, the members of the editorial board of the American Journal of Surgery, committed to using our collective voices to publicly address and call for action against racism and social injustices in our society. type 1: avulsion of the tip of the In some cases, there may be dislocation of the paired bone, e.g. CT. CT is the best modality for identifying an occipital condyle fracture 6. Lateral patellar dislocation refers to lateral displacement followed by dislocation of the patella due to disruptive changes to the medial patellar retinaculum. Occipital condyle fractures are rarely evident by x-ray 5,6. Classification. A dedicated plain radiographic series investigating the scaphoid exists, consisting of four projections of the scaphoid bone. radial head dislocation. type I: avulsion of anterior glenoid margin; type II: transverse or oblique fracture through glenoid fossa exiting inferiorly; type III: oblique fracture through glenoid fossa exiting superiorly and associated with acromioclavicular joint injury; type IV: transverse fracture exiting through the medial scapular border There is usually an accompanying fracture of a paired bone, e.g. Mandibular fractures are relatively common especially among young men. Classification. Although it appears complicated, The Schenck classification categorizes knee dislocation based on the pattern of multiligamentous injury and is the usual system used by sports medicine physicians; it has superseded the older position (Kennedy) classification system. Classification. A syndesmotic screw has to be inserted.. Classification. The x-ray beam is not parallel to the fracture line. Tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures are uncommon. Typically, Monteggia fracture-dislocations occur as the result of a fall onto an outstretched hand (FOOSH) 4.. Mechanism. In addition to reporting the presence of the fracture a number of features should be sought and in many instances commented upon as relevant negatives: Tillaux fracture. Pathology Anatomy. These type of fractures are more common in children, especially aged 5-10 years, due to the elasticity of their bones. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) avulsion fracture or tibial eminence avulsion fracture is a type of avulsion fracture of the knee. This term is often incorrectly used to indicate any type of tibial stress injury but more correctly refers to the earlier manifestations of a tibial stress lesion before a fracture component can be type I: non-displaced 2; type II: upward displacement of the posterior aspect of the avulsed tibial bone fragment 2; type III: totally displaced avulsed bone fragment 2; Radiographic features. Males are affected more commonly than females with a median age of injury of 56 years. The Le Fort classification system attempts to distinguish according to The fracture is easy to recognize on plain film. Patella baja, also known as patella infera, is an abnormally low lying patella, which is associated with restricted range of motion, crepitations, and retropatellar pain. Associations avulsion fracture of the insertion of superficial fibers of MCL: 5 cm below the joint line; avulsion of the lateral collateral ligament: origin of LCL: above popliteal groove; conjoined tendon: fibular head below the tip, biceps femoris and insertion of LCL avulsion fracture; arcuate ligament complex avulsion fracture (arcuate sign) Segond fracture Radiographic features. On the lateral view and also on the AP- and Mortise views, which will be shown in the paragraph on tertius fractures, this fracture was not visible. Classification. Epidemiology. The Lisfranc ligament attaches the medial cuneiform to the 2 nd metatarsal base via three bands, the dorsal ligament, interosseous A lateral cervical spine radiograph is commonly obtained to screen for cervical spine injury in the setting of trauma. Fracture of the coronoid process is thought to result from elbow hyperextension with either avulsion of the brachialis tendon insertion or shearing off by the trochlea 1.. Rarely, a torus fracture may refer to the fracture of an oral torus, and there is potential for the two terms to be confused 10. The CT demonstrates a large tertius fracture. Fractures are best visualized on coronal and sagittal reformatted images. Maybe the fracture is seen on the AP-view as indicated by the red arrows, but this is questionable. It is interesting to note that the word chauffeur comes from the French for "someone who warms" the car engine. There are two classification systems 5,6. The mechanism of injury is variable, and can occur both during flexion or extension, and with or without compression 5. Pathology Mechanism. Looser zones are also a type of insufficiency fracture. CT or MR may be more sensitive than conventional radiographs for detection of avulsion injuries. An undisplaced fracture, particularly in the non-dominant arm of a non-athlete can be treated conservatively (three weeks in an upper arm splint) with good results 2,3. Usually, this kind of fracture occurs as the result of a fall on an outstretched arm and is often associated with a distal radius fracture. orbital blow-out fracture; frontal process of the maxilla; Nasal septal hematoma should also be actively assessed. There is no fracture line or visible cortical injury. Insufficiency fractures are a type of stress fracture, which are the result of normal stresses on abnormal bone. Radiographic features Plain radiograph. Since its inception in 2005, Radiopaedia has grown to become one of the most important medical resources for literally millions of individuals from around the world, particularly those from low and middle-income regions who do not have access to traditional pay-wall resources. cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR): rib fracture occurs in 1 in 3 5; fetal rib fractures: caused by skeletal dysplasias; radiation-induced rib fractures 8,9; spontaneous: spontaneous rib fracture; Radiographic features Plain radiograph. A Shepherd fracture refers to a fracture of the lateral tubercle of the posterior process. intra-articular glenoid fracture. Classification. It assesses the pattern of fractures, involvement of the radioulnar joint and presence of a distal ulnar fracture.. Radiopaedia.org, the online collaborative radiology resource.
