Question | Answer |
---|---|
Transverse | a fx that occurs along the axis of the bone |
greenstick | a fx not through the bone-splinter effect |
oblique | a fx that runs diagonal accross the bone |
spiral | a fx that is diagonal across the bone but a rotation causes the fx to spiral down the bone |
comminuted | a fx that the bone hase many fx |
impacted | a fx that occurs when one end of the fx is driven up into the other end (body of spine) |
avulsion | a fx that occurs when a fragment of bone is pulled away at the bony attachement by a muscle of ligament |
Strain | stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon(1st, 2nd, 3rd) |
Subluxation | a partial dislocation and relocation of a joint |

Synocitis | inflammation of synocial membrane |
Hemarthrosis | bleeding into a joint |
Ganglia | outgrowth of a joint capsule, nerve tissue of tendon sheath |
Bursitis | an inflammation of a bursa |
Contusion | bruisng to a muscle tendon or bone over use injury-results in weakness, pain and inflammation |
Salter-Harris fracture type I | complete seperation of the physis in relation to the metaphysis without fracture to the bone |
Salter-Harris fracture type II | seperation of the growth plate and small portioon of the metaphysi |
Salter-Harris fracture Type III | fracture of the physis |
Salter-Harris fracture Type IV | fracture of a portion of the physis and metaphysis |
Salter-Harris fracture Type V | no displacement of physis but the crushing forcuse can cause deformity |
