FRACTURE - Coggle Diagram
FRACTURE
Classification
Presence of external wounds
Closed (simple) fracture
Open (compound) fracture
there are different types (1-4)
Fracture fragment displacement
Impacted
Compression
Distracted
Depression
Overriding
Translocation
Direction of fracture line
Spiral
Comminuted
Fracture line is in contact
Transverse
Segmental
Fracture is not connected
Oblique
Multiple
Fracture at several different location
Extent of damage
Incomplete (green stick fracture)
Fissure
Complete
Location
Physis (growth plate)
L - lower (epiphysis)
TE (Through everything)
A - Above (metaphysis)
R - Crush (compression of physis)
S - straight across (physis)
Metaphyseal
Diaphyseal
Epiphyseal
Intra-articular
Distal
Proximal
Monteggia fracture - @ proximal ulna that dislocates radius
Inherent fracture stability
Stable
Comminuted, Green stick
Unstable
severe comminuted, transverse fracture, fracture close to joint
forces to overcome to achieve stability
shortening / overriding
rotation
angulation
Post-op healing and complications
Delayed union / Non union
Dystrophic
Defect
Oligotrophic
Atrophic
Hypertrophic
Malunion
Growth disturbance
Premature closure of physis
Osteomyelitis
Principles of surgical repair
Stabilization / Fix
External / Internal
Rehabilitation
physiotherapy
Reduction
leverage
angulation, toggling
traction, counter traction
roatation
open (cut open, direct visualization of fracture) / closed
ALA
Length
Apposition
Alignment
