A supracondylar fracture occurs just above the elbow joint and is one of the most common fractures in children. It can cause complications like compartment syndrome if the brachial artery is damaged. A Colles' fracture is a break of the radius bone in the forearm near the wrist, causing the "dinner fork" deformity. Fractures of the femoral neck mainly occur in older people with osteoporosis and are classified by the Garden system. Compartment syndrome results from increased pressure in an enclosed muscle space, causing pain, numbness and possible tissue death.

2. spasm of the artery and

3. compression of the artery relieved by manipulation of the fracture

5. Myositis ossificans or calcific tendinitis

6. Neurovascular injuries (8-21% of cases) — ulnar nerve injuries are most common, followed by brachial artery injuries (5-13%)

7. Osteochondral defects, intra-articular loose bodies, and avascular necrosis of the capitellum

8. Instability

9. Secondary injury

10. Most commonly brachial artery injury, and if left untreated could lead to Volkmann's contracture (permanent flexion contracture of the hand at the wrist, resulting in a claw-like deformity of the hand and fingers).

42. Garden classified this fracture into four types:

43. Type 1 is a stable fracture with impaction in valgus.

44. Type 2 is complete but non-displaced.

45. Type 3 is displaced (often rotated and angulated) with varus displacement but still has some contact between the two fragments.

46. Type 4 is completely displaced and there is no contact between the fracture fragments.

47. Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_fracture

48. Nonoperative management is reserved only for those with extremely high surgical risk or demented nonambulators with minimal hip pain

49. Taken from http://www.orthopaedia.com/display/Main/Femoral+neck+fractures

50. Operative treatment is almost mandatory. Displaced fracture will not unite without internal fixation. Impacted fracture can be left to unite, but there is always a risk that they may become displaced, even while lying in bed, so fixation is safer.

51. Complications include AVN, non-union, OA, general (thromboembolism, bed sores)
