7 quiz

fracture - answerA break in the continuity of a bone-occurs when force is applied that
exceeds the tensile or compressive strength of the bone

complete fracture - answerIntegrity of the bone broken into two pieces

incomplete fracture - answerBone damaged but in one piece

open fracture - answerAka compound fracture-concurrent break in the skin in area of
the fracture

Closed fracture - answerAKA simple fracture-no break in surrounding skin

linear fracture - answerthe fracture is parallel to the long axis of the bone

oblique fracture - answerSlanted fracture of the shaft of the bone

spiral fracture - answerragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied
to a bone

transverse fracture - answeroccurs straight across the bone

comminuted fracture - answerbone breaks into many fragments

types of incomplete fractures - answergreenstick, torus, bowing

greenstick fracture - answerOuter surface of bone disrupted but inner surface remains
intact

Typical sites of greenstick fractures - answerMetaphysis or diaphysis of the tibia, radius,
and ulna

Torus fracture - answercortex buckles but does not break-relatively stable fracture

bowing fracture - answerLongitudinal force applied to a bone-common in children
usually involving the paired radius-ulna or fibula-tibia

Complete diaphyseal fracture - answerOccurs in one bone of the pair which dispersed
the stress sufficiently to prevent a complete fracture of the second bone which bows

, fragility fracture - answerfracture that results from a low level trauma (one that would not
normally cause a fracture)-often seen as sequels of osteoporosis

impacted fracture - answerfracture in which one bone fragment is pushed into another

pathologic fracture - answerfracture caused by diseased or weakened bone

avulsion fracture - answerFragment of bone connected to a ligament breaks off from the
main bone

compression fracture - answerFracture is wedged or squeezed together on one side of
bone

displaced fracture - answerFracture with one, both, or all fragments out of normal
alignment

extracapsular fracture - answerFragment is close to the joint but remains outside the
joint capsule

Intracapsular fracture - answerFragment extends into it is within the joint capsule

stress fracture - answera small crack in the bone that often develops from chronic,
excessive impact

Transchondral fracture - answerFragmentation and separation of the articular cartilage
covering the end of a bone

Fatigue fracture - answerAbnormal stress or torque applied to bones that have the
normal ability to deform and recover (joggers, dancers)

insufficiency fracture - answerOccur 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 - answerDistal femur, ankle, kneecap, elbow,
wrist

Transchondral fracture most prevalent in - answerAdolescents

Osteoporosis - answerPorous bone- low bone mineral density, impaired structural
integrity of the bone, decreased bone strength, risk of fracture

Most common bone disease in humans - answerosteoporosis

Those with lowest BMD at most risk for - answerFracture
