Fractures

Smith Fracture

Fracture of the wrist with the distal fragment of the radius displaced anteriorly rather than posteriorly as in a Colles fracture. It commonly results from a backward fall on an outstretched arm.

Colle Fracture

Fracture of the wrist in which the distal radius is fractured with the distal fragment displaced anteriorly, may result from a forward fall on an outstretched arm.

Galeazzi Fracture

Forearm fracture involving a break in the radius bone near the wrist, accompanied by dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint (the joint between the two bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna). This injury typically occurs due to a fall on an outstretched hand or direct trauma to the forearm.

Potts Fracture

Complete fracture of the distal fibula with majority injury to the ankle joint, including ligament damage and frequent fracture of the distal tibia or medial malleolus.

Chance Fracture

Chance Fractures are traumatic fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine that occur by a flexion-distraction injury mechanism and are associated with high rates of mechanical instability and gastrointestinal injuries

Greenstick Fracture

Fracture is on one side only. the cortex on one side of the bone is broken, and the other side is bent. When the bone straightens, a faint fracture line in the cortex may be seen on one side of the bone and a slight bulging or wrinkle like defect is seen on the opposite side.

Comminuted Fracture

Bone is splintered or crushed at the site of impact resulting in two or more fragments.

Jones Fracture

A Jones fracture is a break between the base and shaft of the fifth metatarsal bone of your foot. Jones fractures are caused when you put sudden force on the outside of your foot with your foot twisted away from your body. Repeated overuse, sports injuries and falls are the most common causes of Jones fractures.
