Fracture

Question 1

Fracture

Answer 1

• discontinuity of the bone
• causes: sudden injury, fatigue or stress pathology
• classification:
• according to communication with the external environment
• according to degree of break in continuity of the bone
• according to plane of fracture surface

Question 2

according to communication with the external environment

Answer 2

• open/ compound - fracture with bruise

- closed

Question 3

According to degree of break in continuity of the bone

Answer 3

• partial / greenstick- naa pa bilin

- complete

Question 4

According to plane of fracture surface

Answer 4

• comminuted= breaks into pieces
• compression= same as of comminuted but bone to bone
• transverse= transverse plane
• oblique= side hays extend
• spiral= proportional forces
• butterfly

Question 5

As

Answer 5

A1- MCP jt. ; MC whats immobilised
A2- proximal phalanx
A3- PIP joint
A4- mid phalanx
A5- DIL joint

Question 6

Healing process

Answer 6

1. Hematoma formation
   - bloodclot , redness, swelling
2. Inflammatory phase
3. Reparative phase
   - new bone “ talus “
4. Remodelling phase- increase UB & OC
