3. Boxer's
fracture
occurs as a result
of axial loading of
the 4th and/or 5th
transverse neck of
the metacarpal
bone secondary to
an indirect force
such as striking an
object with a
closed fist
5. Colles'
fracture
a fracture of the distal
radius in the forearm
with dorsal (posterior)
displacement. The
fracture is sometimes
referred to as a
"dinner fork" or
"bayonet" deformity
due to the shape of
the resultant forearm
8. Rolando
fracture
a comminuted intra-
articular fracture
through the base of
the first metacarpal
bone the bone
located just proximal
to the thumb,
This is a fracture
consisting of 3 distinct
fragments; it is
typically T- or Y-
shaped.
15. Le Fort
fracture of
skull
facial fractures
involving the
maxillary bone
and surrounding
structures either
bilateral,
horizontal,
pyramidal or

16. WEDGE’S
SPINAL
FRACTURE
A compression
fracture due to trauma
or due to a weakening
of the vertebra. This
weakening is seen in
patients with
osteoporosis or
osteogenesis
imperfecta, lytic
lesions from
metastatic or primary
tumours
17. Le Fort's
fracture of the
ankle
vertical fracture of the
antero-medial part of
the distal fibula with
avulsion of the
anterior tibiofibular
ligament
The injury was
described by Léon
Clément Le Fort in
1886
18. Blowout
fracture
fracture of the
walls or floor of the
orbit. Intraorbital
material may be
pushed out into
one of the
paranasal sinuses.
This is most
commonly caused
by blunt trauma
21. CHANCE
FRACTURE
compression injury
to the anterior
portion of the
vertebral body and
a transverse
fracture through
the posterior
elements of the
vertebra and the
posterior portion
of the vertebral
body
22. jefferson's
fracture
fractures of the
anterior arch
and a single
fracture of the
posterior arch of
atlas (C1)
(arrows) with
mild
displacement
due to axial
loading
