INTRODUCTION
BASIC TERMINOLOGY
(A) DIRECTION OF FRACTURE LINES:
• Transverse: Fracture line runs perpendicular to the bone axis.
• Oblique: Fracture line runs at 45 – 60° to the bone axis.
• Spiral: Fracture line has a corkscrew appearance and highly unstable.
• Comminuted: More than two fractured fragments.
• Impacted: Fracture ends are compressed together.
(B) ANATOMIC LOCATION:
• In long bones, fractures are characterized by proximal, middle and distal portions of the bone.
• If fracture extends into joint space, it is described as intra-articular.
• Other anatomical terms are referred by fracture site (head, neck, shaft and base).
• In pediatric age group, fractures described in relation to growth plate (physis) e.g. epiphyseal between joint and growth plate, diaphyseal referring to the shaft of the bone.
(C) DISPLACEMENT:
• Alignment: Relationship of axis of fragments of the bone e.g. lateral angulation/valgus deformity.
• Apposition: The amount of contact between the fracture surfaces.
• Translation: Used to describe the movement of fracture fragments from their usual position in a direction perpendicular to the long axis of the bone. It is described as percentage of bone width e.g. the fractured segment is 50% displaced in lateral
