  2. Fat pad sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_pad_sign

    The posterior fat pad is normally pressed in the olecranon fossa by the triceps tendon, and hence invisible on lateral radiograph of the elbow. [3] When there is a fracture of the distal humerus, or other pathology involving the elbow joint, inflammation develops around the synovial membrane forcing the fat pad out of its normal physiologic resting place.

  3. Radial head fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_head_fracture

    Stable type 2 radial head fractures may be treated as a type 1 if the displacement is minimal. Unstable type 2 - 4 fractures generally warrant surgery. Surgical correction can include fracture fragment excision, radial head reconstruction, open reduction and internal fixation, and radial head excision with artificial replacement. [6]

  4. Distal radius fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_radius_fracture

    Distal radius fractures are the most common fractures seen in adults and children. [4] Distal radius fractures account for 18% of all adult fractures with an approximate rate of 23.6 to 25.8 per 100,000 per year. [25] For children, both boys and girls have a similar incidence of these types of fractures, however the peak ages differ slightly.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monteggia_fracture

    There are four types (depending upon displacement of the radial head): [3] Bado Classification - Monteggia Fractures. I - Extension type (60%) - ulna shaft angulates anteriorly (extends) and radial head dislocates anteriorly. II - Flexion type (15%) - ulna shaft angulates posteriorly (flexes) and radial head dislocates posteriorly.

  7. Bone fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_fracture

    A bone fracture (abbreviated FRX or Fx, F x, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of any bone in the body. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several fragments, known as a comminuted fracture. [1]

  8. Skull fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_fracture

    A skull fracture is a break in one or more of the eight bones that form the cranial portion of the skull, usually occurring as a result of blunt force trauma.If the force of the impact is excessive, the bone may fracture at or near the site of the impact and cause damage to the underlying structures within the skull such as the membranes, blood vessels, and brain.

  9. Smith's fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith's_fracture

    A Smith's fracture, is a fracture of the distal radius. [1] Although it can also be caused by a direct blow to the dorsal forearm [2] or by a fall with the wrist flexed, the most common mechanism of injury for Smith's fracture occurs in a palmar fall with the wrist joint slightly dorsiflexed. [3] Smith's fractures are less common than Colles ...
