7 quiz Exam Questions with Correct Answers
fracture - Answer-A break in the continuity of a bone-occurs when force is applied that exceeds the tensile or compressive strength of the bone
complete fracture - Answer-Integrity of the bone broken into two pieces
incomplete fracture - Answer-Bone damaged but in one piece
open fracture - Answer-Aka compound fracture-concurrent break in the skin in area of the fracture
Closed fracture - Answer-AKA simple fracture-no break in surrounding skin
linear fracture - Answer-the fracture is parallel to the long axis of the bone
oblique fracture - Answer-Slanted fracture of the shaft of the bone
spiral fracture - Answer-ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied
to a bone
transverse fracture - Answer-occurs straight across the bone
comminuted fracture - Answer-bone breaks into many fragments
types of incomplete fractures - Answer-greenstick, torus, bowing
greenstick fracture - Answer-Outer surface of bone disrupted but inner surface remains intact
Typical sites of greenstick fractures - Answer-Metaphysis or diaphysis of the tibia, radius, and ulna
Torus fracture - Answer-cortex buckles but does not break-relatively stable fracture
bowing fracture - Answer-Longitudinal force applied to a bone-common in children usually involving the paired radius-ulna or fibula-tibia
Complete diaphyseal fracture - Answer-Occurs in one bone of the pair which dispersed the stress sufficiently to prevent a complete fracture of the second bone which bows fragility fracture - Answer-fracture that results from a low level trauma (one that would not normally cause a fracture)-often seen as sequels of osteoporosis
impacted fracture - Answer-fracture in which one bone fragment is pushed into another
pathologic fracture - Answer-fracture caused by diseased or weakened bone
avulsion fracture - Answer-Fragment of bone connected to a ligament breaks off from the main bone
compression fracture - Answer-Fracture is wedged or squeezed together on one side of bone
displaced fracture - Answer-Fracture with one, both, or all fragments out of normal alignment
extracapsular fracture - Answer-Fragment is close to the joint but remains outside the joint capsule
Intracapsular fracture - Answer-Fragment extends into it is within the joint capsule
stress fracture - Answer-a small crack in the bone that often develops from chronic, excessive impact
Transchondral fracture - Answer-Fragmentation and separation of the articular cartilage covering the end of a bone
Fatigue fracture - Answer-Abnormal stress or torque applied to bones that have the normal ability to deform and recover (joggers, dancers)
insufficiency fracture - Answer-Occur in bones lacking normal ability to deform and recover (normal weight bearing or activity fractures the bone)- includes fragility fractures
of osteoporosis and osteomalacia
Typical sites of transchondral fracture - Answer-Distal femur, ankle, kneecap, elbow, wrist
Transchondral fracture most prevalent in - Answer-Adolescents
Osteoporosis - Answer-Porous bone- low bone mineral density, impaired structural integrity of the bone, decreased bone strength, risk of fracture
Most common bone disease in humans - Answer-osteoporosis
Those with lowest BMD at most risk for - Answer-Fracture
