  2. Mandibular fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandibular_fracture

    Condylar fractures are classified by location compared to the capsule of ligaments that hold the temporomandibular joint (intracapsular or extracapsular), dislocation (whether or not the condylar head has come out of the socket (glenoid fossa) as the muscles (lateral pterygoid) tend to pull the condyle anterior and medial) and neck of the ...

  3. Epicondyle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicondyle

    An epicondyle (/ ɛ p ɪ ˈ k ɒ n d aɪ l /) is a rounded eminence on a bone that lies upon a condyle (epi-, "upon" + condyle, from a root meaning "knuckle" or "rounded articular area"). There are various epicondyles in the human skeleton, each named by its anatomic site. They include the following:

    A condyle (/ ˈ k ɒ n d ɪ l,-d aɪ l /; [1] [2] Latin: condylus, from Greek: kondylos; κόνδυλος knuckle) is the round prominence at the end of a bone, most often part of a joint – an articulation with another bone. It is one of the markings or features of bones, and can refer to:

  5. Supracondylar humerus fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supracondylar_humerus_fracture

    A supracondylar humerus fracture is a fracture of the distal humerus just above the elbow joint. The fracture is usually transverse or oblique and above the medial and lateral condyles and epicondyles. This fracture pattern is relatively rare in adults, but is the most common type of elbow fracture in children. [1]

  6. Distal humeral fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_humeral_fracture

    A displaced supracondylar fracture in a child. Distal humeral fractures are a group of humerus fracture which includes supracondylar fractures, single condyle fractures, bi-column fractures and coronal shear fractures. [1]

  7. Tibial plateau fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibial_plateau_fracture

    This is a combined cleavage and compression fracture and involves vertical split of the lateral condyle combined with depression of the adjacent load bearing part of the condyle. Caused by a valgus force on the knee; it is a low energy injury, typically seen in individuals of the 4th decade or older with osteoporotic changes in bone.

  8. Lateral condyle of femur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_condyle_of_femur

    The osteochondral fracture occurs on the weight-bearing portion of the lateral condyle. Typically, the condyle will fracture (and the patella may dislocate) as a result of severe impaction from activities such as downhill skiing and parachuting. [1] Open reduction and internal fixation surgery is typically used to repair an osteochondral fracture.

  9. Hoffa fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoffa_fracture

    A Hoffa fracture is an intra-articular supracondylar distal femoral fracture, characterized by a fracture in the coronal plane. [ 1 ] It is named for Albert Hoffa .
