2. Topics to be covered…
1. Fracture
2. Types
3. Displacement
4. Mechanism
3. Fracture
A fracture is a break or disruption
in the continuity of bone or it is a
disruption of the normal architecture
of the bone.
4. Normal Bone and Normal Ossification
Bone Terms
Epiphysis
Epiphyseal Plate (physis)
Metaphysis
Diaphysis
Fracture location
Diaphyseal fracture
Metaphyseal fracture
Physeal fracture
15. Longitudinal fracture
• It is an incomplete fracture in which
the fracture line run along the
longitudinal axis of the bone.
• The periosteum is not torn away from
the bone.
16. Comminuted fracture
It is a fracture with more than
two fragments. The smaller fragments
appear to be floating.

FRACTURES
Bending mechanism
Failure on tension side
Incomplete fracture,
plastic deformation on
compression side
May need to complete
fracture to realign
23.
24. BUCKLE OR TORUS FRACTURE
Compression failure
Stable
Usually at
metaphyseal /
diaphyseal junction
27. Communication or non communication
with the external environment
• Open fracture
• Closed fracture
28. Pathologic Fracture
• It is a spontaneous fracture at the site of bone
disease.
Causes
Bone tumors, metastatic lesions, infection,
metabolic disease and an injury to old fracture
site.
29. • Stress fracture
It is a fracture that occurs in normal or
abnormal bone that is subject to repeat
stress, such as from jogging or running.
They are considered as overuse
injuries.
30. Stress fracture
• Abnormal stress on normal bone (fatigue fracture) or normal stress
on abnormal bone (insufficiency fracture).
37. Anatomic description - Displacement
Displacement is the amount the pieces
of a fracture have moved from their
normal location
Can be displaced or non-displaced
Subdivided into 3 sub-categories:
translation, angulation, and shortening
38. Displacement - Translation
Translation is
sideways motion of
the fracture - usually
described as a
percentage of
movement when
compared to the
diameter of the
bone.
39. Displacement - Angulation
Angulation is the
amount of bend at a
fracture described in
degrees.
Described with
respect to the apex
of the angle or with
respect to direction
of distal fragment.
40. Displacement - Shortening
Shortening is the
amount a fracture is
collapsed expressed
in centimeters.
Sometimes called
bayonette
apposition.
46. • INJURY
o Direct force- With adirect force, the bone
breaks at the point of impact; the soft tissues
also are damaged.
o Indirect force -the bone breaks at a
distance from where the force isapplied.
48. Somefracture patterns suggestthe causalmechanism: (a) spiral pattern (twisting); (b)short
oblique pattern (compression); (c)triangular ‘butterfly’fragment (bending) and (d) transverse pattern
(tension). Spiral and some(long) oblique patterns are usually due to low-energy indirect injuries;bending and
transverse patterns are causedby
high-energy direct trauma.

51. • FATIGUE ORSTRESSFRACTURES-
Occur in normal bone, subject to repeated
heavy loading, typically in athletes, dancersor
military personnel.
Drugslike steroids and methotrexate
