Plain radiograph. Differential diagnosis Classification. In reality, the majority of fractures that involve the physis have at least a small fragment of metaphysis associated with them and are therefore type II injuries. The lack of a metaphyseal fracture component in the coronal plane (evaluated with lateral x-ray or CT) distinguishes a Tillaux fracture from a triplanar fracture. For instance, a break at the bottom of the fibula is known as a lateral malleolus fracture. It is also known as backfire fracture or lorry driver fracture 1. A 9-year-old child is on follow-up for a lateral condyle fracture of the distal humerus. They are: Ankle joint where the tibia, fibula and talus meet Mallet finger refers to injuries of the extensor mechanism of the finger at the level of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP).They are the most prevalent finger tendon injury in sport. Ankle Joints. Insufficiency fractures are a type of stress fracture, which are the result of normal stresses on abnormal bone. Most authors regard it as a type 4 Salter-Harris fracture. References - - - - - Related Treatment and prognosis Trimalleolar fractures refer to a three-part fracture of the ankle. It is interesting to note that the word chauffeur comes from the French for "someone who warms" the car engine. They may represent an isolated tendinous injury or occur in combination with an avulsion fracture of the dorsal base of the distal phalanx. Mallet finger refers to injuries of the extensor mechanism of the finger at the level of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP).They are the most prevalent finger tendon injury in sport. Ultrasound The three aforementioned parts of bone articulate with the talus bone of the Segond fracture is an avulsion fracture of the knee that involves the lateral aspect of the tibial plateau and is very frequently (~75% of cases) associated with disruption of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). On the frontal knee radiograph, it may be referred to as the lateral capsular sign. 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. Vertical fracture through the distal tibial epiphysis (Salter-Harris III) with a horizontal extension through the lateral aspect of the physis. intra-articular glenoid fracture. It can be caused by traumatic traction (repetitive long-term or a single high impact traumatic traction) of the ligament or tendon. Most lateral ankle ligament sprains heal within a few weeks as long they have sufficient rest and proper treatment. The plain radiographic investigation of the fingers involves three projections (AP oblique and lateral). The lack of a metaphyseal fracture component in the coronal plane (evaluated with lateral x-ray or CT) distinguishes a Tillaux fracture from a triplanar fracture.

Fractures in these regions can be classified as: intertrochanteric fracture; pertrochanteric: intertrochanteric, involving both trochanters; subtrochanteric fracture; greater trochanteric avulsion fracture 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. 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. Fatigue fractures are Practical points. The doctor will describe your ankle fracture based on the part of the bone that is fractured. The doctor will describe your ankle fracture based on the part of the bone that is fractured. Dorsal avulsion fractures account for about 95% all triquetral fractures, most of the remainder are body fractures 4. A 9-year-old child is on follow-up for a lateral condyle fracture of the distal humerus. This typically involves separation of the tibial attachment of the ACL to variable degrees. Evaluation of Proposed Protocol Changing Statistical Significance From 0.05 to 0.005 in Foot and Ankle Randomized Controlled Trials WebAn avulsion fracture is where a fragment of bone is pulled away at the ligamentous or tendinous attachment. Classification. There are 2 joints that are involved in a fractured ankle. It is also known as backfire fracture or lorry driver fracture 1. The term "hangman fracture" was introduced by Schneider in 1965 5. 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..
